Recording analog audio

Starting recording

The following procedure assumes that all the necessary preparations for recording such as signal source connection, drive selection, level settings, etc. have been completed.

<Note>: When the unit only receives analog audio signals, you can always record analog audio signals.

However, when the [DIGITAL IN] connector receives a digital signal and the unit locks to the signal, the digital signal takes priority and you cannot record the analog signals.

1)Slide the [REC] key.

A "New File" is automatically created and recording starts. The display changes as follows.

The file name given to the created audio file depends on the setting of the "Default file name" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode.

2)To stop recording, press the [PAUSE] key.

During recording, only the [PAUSE] key is effective. To stop the recorder completely, press the [STOP] key after pressing the [PAUSE] key.

Note that the recorder automatically stops completely after a certain period of time since it enters the pause mode. This period is set to three minutes by default, but can be changed to a desired period between 0.1 and 9.9 minutes in 0.1 minute steps or infinity using the "Pause time" menu in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 149).

If you press the [LOCATE] (or [STOP] + [REW]) key after stopping recording, the recorder locates to the beginning of the newly created audio file. Therefore, you can check the recorded sound by pressing the [PLAY] key in this condition.

<Note>: Every time you start recording after you stop recording, a new audio file is created and recording is made from the beginning of the new file.
