FR-2
Field Memory Recorder (Chapter 5: Recording/playback)
Recording digital audio
Before executing recording of digital audio, you have to make the following settings.
You do not have to adjust the input level.
See also "Monitoring recording signals" and "Recording with PRE REC active" described
earlier in "Recording analog audio". The description can be applied to the digital audio
recording.
The FR-2 records a digital audio signal at the same FS as the source signal if it
contains FS information.
However, if a source signal does not contain FS/Bit information, the FR-2 follows
the settings of the [FS (kHz)] and [QUANTIZATION] switches on the top panel.
While the FR-2 is receiving a digital signal which does not contain FS information,
"DIG IN" is shown in inverse video (see pages 39 and 45 for details).

Selecting the sampling frequency/quantization bit length

According to the situation, select the track mode (whether making recording in
mono or stereo) using the [TRACK MODE] switch.
The [TRACK MODE] switch setting is shown on the Home screen.

Selecting the track mode

MONO The FR-2 records only the L channel signal in the digital input signal to a single file.
STEREO
<Note>:
You cannot change the track mode during recording.
The FR-2 records L and R signals in the digital input signal to two individual files.
