About Realtime Clock

The PD-6 offers realtime clock function.

The realtime clock data is used for a file name (date and time when the file is created) when creating a new audio file on a disk, the time code start time when recording a time code by the internal time code generator, and so on.

The realtime clock is adjusted according to the local time when shipped, therefore, set the time to your local time before using the PD-6 (see “Chapter 7: Setup mode” on page 90 for details about realtime clock setting).

<Notes>

•When shipped, the file name mode is set to “DATE”, therefore, the realtime clock data is automatically used as the name of an audio file name created when recording. You can edit the file name later.

See “Chapter 7: Setup mode” on page 99 for details about file name editing and file name mode setting.

file name

•Only when the TC GEN mode is set to “24H RUN”, the realtime clock data is used as the TC start time (see “Recording/playback” on page 72 for details about the TC GEN mode).
