Options

Selectable between “Rename” and “Delete” (the default is “Rename”).

	When the False start function is executed, the take number decreases by one (i.e. returns
	to the previous take number) and the canceled audio file is stored as a file name starting
	by “ ~ nn” followed by the original name. “nn” shows the number.
	Up to 100 canceled files (starting by ~, ~ 1 through ~ 99) can be stored. The following
	examples show how the file names are given.
Rename	<Examples>
	After the first False start:	Scene1_001.wav	-> ~ Scene1_001.wav
	After the second False start	Scene1_001,wav	-> ~ 1Scene1_001.wav
	After the 100th False start	Scene1_001.wav	-> ~ 99Scene1_001.wav
	You can check stored files from the file selection screen (which can be shown by pressing
	the [FILE SEL] key).
	After executing the False start function, the unsuccessful file is completely deleted and
Delete	the disk remaining time returns to the value before the last recording is made. The take
	number decreases by one (returns to the previous take number).

<Note>: When the “False start” menu item is set to “Rename”, each time you execute False start, the disk remaining time decreases.
