About recording medium
The MR-8 uses a CompactFlashTM card (see the
illustration below) as a recording medium.
On the CompactFlashTM card supplied with the
unit, a demo song is recorded. See "Playing back
the demo song" on page 19 for details about how
to play back the demo song.
<Note>
When using a CompactFlashTM card other than
the supplied one, make sure that the card is
tested and confirmed by Fostex. If you use a
card which is not tested and confirmed by
Fostex, the MR-8 may not work correctly. About
cards confirmed by Fostex, see the Fostex web
site or contact your nearest Fostex dealer or
service station. Also note that, before using a
new card, you must format the card by the
MR-8 (see page 22).
The available recording time depends on the
memory size of the card used. The following
table shows the approximate recording time when
recording in the normal mode (at 44.1-kHz, 16-
bit), as well as in the extended mode (at 22.05-
kHz, 16-bit). Refer to this table when purchas-
ing a CompactFlashTM card. We recommend to
use a CompactFlashTM card whose memory size
is more than 128 MB.

netic fields. Also, do not give a strong impact or ex-
cessive power.
