Setting the clock

Once the clock is set, the recorder automatically stamps the recording time and date for each track recorded. This function can be set on the recorder only.

1When the recorder is stopped, enter the menu (page 49) and select “Option” – “Clock Set”.

2Change the current year by pressing VOL +/–, and then press the jog lever.

The digit of the month flashes.

3Repeat step 2 to enter the current month, date, hour, and minute.

When you press the jog lever to enter the minute, the clock starts operating.

To display the current time

While the recorder is stopped or recording, press DISPLAY/MENU (DISPLAY on the remote) repeatedly.

To select the 24-hour or 12-hour clock

While setting the clock, press DISPLAY/ MENU.

To maintain the correct time

Once you set the clock, it will keep correct time as long as the recorder is connected to a power source, such as the charged rechargeable battery or house current. However, if no power source is connected or the rechargeable battery becomes depleted, the clock setting will change back to the factory setting after 3 minutes.

While setting the clock, you can select the item to be set (year, month, date, etc.) by moving the jog lever toward FF/FR.

If you connect the recorder to a computer and activate SonicStage, the clock on the recorder will be automatically set to match the computer’s clock (only when the operation mode of the recorder is “Hi-MD mode”).

Notes

Make sure the time is correctly set if you want the time stamp to be accurately recorded for an important recording.

Under normal conditions, the clock may vary by about plus or minus 3 minutes per month.

Transferred tracks will not include recorded date information even when the clock is set.

When the computer changes to system suspend, sleep, or hibernation mode while the recorder is connected, power (bus power) supply to the recorder stops. Therefore, if the rechargeable battery is either depleted or it is not inserted in the recorder, the clock setting of the recorder will be lost.
