MR-8HD Owner’s Manual (Basic operations)
This section describes how to create a new song for recording on the hard disk, while keeping the
demo song. In the following procedure, it is assumed that the MR-8HD is stopped at the begin-
ning (ABS ZERO) of the demo song.
1) While the recorder is stopped, press the
[MENU/ENTER] knob to enter the menu mode.
The display now shows the first page of the
menu selection screen, where "<< Back" is
highlighted initially.
2) Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select "Song",
and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.
The display now shows the first page of the
song menu screen, where "<< Back" is
highlighted initially.
3) Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select
"Select Song", and press the [MENU/ENTER]
knob.
The display now shows the first page of the
song selection screen. You can see the list of
the song numbers/names on the hard disk.
Currently, only the demo song is created, and
"S01: FOSTEX_FEVER" and "---:(New Song)" are
shown.
"---:(New Song)" is used to create a new song.
4) Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select
"- - -:(New Song)", and press the [MENU/ENTER]
knob.
5) Enter the desired song name.
<Note>:
By selecting "<< Back" and press-
ing the [MENU/ENTER] knob, the display
returns to the previous screen. You can also
return the display to the previous screen
by pressing the [REWIND] key.
<Note>:
You may leave the default song
name as it is. Also, you can edit the song
name after creating a song using the "Re-
name Song" menu item in the song menu
of the menu mode (see page 99).
The display now shows the screen for entering
a new song name. The rightmost character on
the default song name is flashing (in the ex-
ample below, "2" of "Song02" starts flashing).
Use the character entry keys to enter the de-
sired character at the flashing point.
Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to move the
flashing point. Use the [UNDO/REDO/DELETE]
key to delete the character at the flashing point.
Therefore, when the rightmost character is
flashing as in the screen example above, you
can delete all characters by pressing the
[UNDO/REDO/DELETE] key repeatedly. You
can enter up to 16 characters for a song name.
See <How to enter characters> on the next page
for entering the song name as "My_Song".
