The REMAIN display

The REMAIN display usually shows available recording space and time on the disk, calculated based on mono track recording. That is, it indicates how much space and time are available for recording on a track. Therefore, if you wish to know how much time is available for multiple-track recording, you need to divide the REMAIN value by the number of tracks you wish to record. The value calculation includes all data from real tracks and additional tracks. If some data exists on the additional tracks, but not on the real tracks, the space and time consumed by the additional tracks are considered during the calculation.

For more information on the REMAIN display, please refer to “Recording method and REMAIN display” in the “Before Starting” chapter on page 21.

This number indicates available recording space on the disk for recording on a track.

This number indicates available recording time on the disk for recording on a track. For example, if you record on eight tracks, one-eighth of the indicated duration is the available recording time for each track.
