Saving memory on the memory card (Song Optimize)

When you perform overdubbing or punch-in/out, the data that you rewrite (replace) actually remains on the memory card. In some cases, this unwanted data may occupy a significant amount of space on the memory card. This will cause the time available for recording to be less than it should be.

By performing a “Song Optimize,” you can have the BR-864 erase any unnecessary data on the memory card and increase the unused space.

1.Press [UTILITY].

2.Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to “EDT,” and press [ENTER].

3.Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to “OPT,” and press [ENTER].

“Are you sure?” appears in the display.

4.To continue with the optimization, press [ENTER] (YES).

The Song Optimize function is carried out. When completed, “Completed!” appears in the display, and you are returned to the Play screen.

To cancel the operation press the [EXIT] (NO) (or [UTILITY]).

*Depending on the situation, an appreciable length of time may be required for Optimize to be completed. This is not a malfunction. Do not turn off the power until Optimize has completed.

*After you execute Optimize, it is not possible to undo/redo to revert to the state before executing Optimize.

Naming songs (Song Name)

When a new song is created, it is automatically given a name such as “SONG 0001.” With your BR-864, you can use “Song Name” to give each song a name, which helps you manage and organize your songs.

2.Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to “EDT,” and press [ENTER].

3.Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to “NAM,” and press [ENTER].

The name of the song (Song Name) appears in the

display.

4.Press CURSOR [ ] [ ] to move the cursor to the character you want to change.

5.Rotate TIME/VALUE dial to select the character.

*You can switch between upper case and lower case characters by pressing [ENTER].

6.After the name is properly entered, press [UTILITY] (or press [EXIT] repeatedly) to return to the Play screen.
