Chapter 2: Preparation before using the PD606

Internal clock setting

The PD606 offers realtime clock.

The realtime clock data is used for a default file name when creating a new audio file on a disk, the file creation date/time information, the time code start time when recording a time code by the internal time code generator, and so on (see Notes below) .

The realtime clock is adjusted according to the local time when shipped, therefore, set the time to your local time before using the PD606 by following the procedure below.

<Note>: The realtime clock date is used for the default file name of a newly created file when the file name mode is set to "DATE" using the "Default file name" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 140).

The following screen example shows the Home screen of the file created when the file name mode is set to "DATE".

File name

<Note>: Only when the TC GEN mode is set to "24H RUN", the realtime clock data is used as the TC start time (see pages 76 and 183 for details about the TC GEN mode).

The following procedure assumes that partition 1 (PT01) which has no recorded file is cur- rently selected.

1)While the unit is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to enter shift mode, followed by the [ENTER/YES] key.

The unit enters MENU mode and brings up the MENU list screen for selecting the desired main menu.

2)While "SYS SETUP" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display shows the SYS SETUP menu screen, on which you can select system setup menu item.
