Arming tracks (safe/ready setting)

By pressing the [READY] key of the desired channel, you can arm the corresponding track. Pressing the [READY] key switches between arming and disarming the corresponding track. When armed, the [READY] indicator flashes, which turns to light solid when recording starts.

ST BUS [READY] key CH1 - CH6 [READY] keys

For example, when the [READY] indicator on channel 1 is flashing, you are ready to make recording to track 1.

When the [READY] indicator on stereo bus channels is flashing, you are ready to record mixed signals of channels 1 through 6 to stereo L/R tracks (unless the record source is set to "Digital").

When you arms all tracks (1 through 6 and stereo L/R), you can make recording to eight tracks (tracks 1 through 6 and the stereo L/R tracks).

<Note>: When you set the record source of the stereo L/R tracks to "Digital" via the "Rec source sel" item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode, the signal of digital input 7/8 is recorded to the stereo L/R tracks. Therefore, you cannot record the mixed signals of channels 1 through 6 (see page 146).

When any of tracks is armed, the display changes as below.

In the example below, partition 1 which contains no recorded file is loaded.

When armed, the name of the file created by the next recording is shown. Also, remaining recordable time of the partition is shown below the next file name.
