Fostex PD606 Default file name setting, Maximum file size setting, Partition link setting

Chapter 5: Recording/Playback

Default file name setting

The "Default file name" menu item selects the default name format of an audio file which is created automatically when recording starts.

The "Default file name" is initially set to "SCENE NAME + Take number". So the name of the first file recorded is "SCENE_001.wav." (You can set the desired scene name instead of the default "SCENE").

You can select the default name format from "DATE" and "Reel Number + File Number" in addition to the default "SCENE NAME + Take number".

You can select the default file name via the "Default file name" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 140).

Maximum file size setting

The maximum recording size per file can be selected. The default size is 2GB.

You can change it to 4GB according to the capacity of your personal computer which receives an audio file created by the PD606.

You can select the maximum file size via the "Max file length" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 155).

Partition link setting

This setting is valid only when you make recording to a hard disk partition.

If partition link is enabled, when there is no recording space left in the current partition during recording, the unit automatically creates a new file in the next partition and contin- ues recording to it. By default, partition link is disabled.

You can select partition link setting via the "Auto part. link" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 156).

Error tone output setting

During recording, if the unit encounters the following problems, the error tone is output for warning.

1.A write error happens during recording.

2.The input amplifier is clipped during recording.

3.The battery voltage drops below the specified level.

4.The remaining volume of a disk (or partition) becomes less than the specified volume.

You can make error tone output setting via the "Error tone" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 165).
