Fostex PD204 owner manual Recording in Pre rec mode

Chapter 5: Recording/Playback

The false start function has two mode: Rename and Delete. You can select the desired mode via the "False start" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (the default is "Re- name") (see page 155 for details about how to select the mode).

In the Rename mode, the canceled audio file is stored to the DVD-RAM disk (or partition) even if you execute the false start function.

In the Delete mode, the canceled audio file is automatically deleted after you execute the false start function.

<Note>: When the mode is set to "Rename", each time you execute the false start func- tion, the remaining recordable space is reduced. If you do not want to reduce the re- maining space by executing the false start function, set the false start mode to "Delete". Note that, however, the deleted file cannot be restored.

<Note>: If an error occurs during recording, you can log the error in the diagnoses file. You can select whether or not an error is logged in the diagnoses file using the "Diag- noses" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (by default, an error is not logged). See page 145.

Recording in Pre rec mode

If you start recording with the [PRE REC] switch set to "ON", the buffered audio data is also recorded. This function may prevent you from missing the start of important recording.

The buffered time is set to 10 seconds by default, but this can be changed to desired time between 1 and 10 seconds in 1 second steps using the "Pre rec time" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 151).

When you press the [PAUSE] key to stop recording, the recorder will stop after executing "post recording" which records audio data stored in the buffer.

[PRE REC] switch

<Notes>

•When the [PRE REC] switch is set to "ON", the [ANALOG OUT] connectors output analog audio input signals with no delay, but output a delayed digital input signal.

•If you switch the Fs setting to "ON", wait ten seconds to start recording. Otherwise, the audio signal stored in the buffer is recorded with altered Fs.
