Setting the title prefix

You can assign title prefixes by choosing from a prefix list stored in internal memory, or by entering the prefix directly.

However, to choose from a prefix list, you must create the list beforehand on a computer and transfer it to the unit's internal memory with a “Memory Stick”.

Setting the initial value of the serial number

The initial value of the serial number can be set to 00001 (the default) or to any other number. The number is automatically incremented by 1 each time you record a clip. When it reaches 99999, it returns to 00001 for the next clip.

Note

Duplicate clip titles can be generated depending on the serial number setting, for example if you reset the serial number to the original value after recording several clips. Care should be taken when setting the serial number.

Clip titles will be generated automatically if you record in this state.

The title of the next clip to be recorded will be a combination of the prefix in the PREFIX field and the serial number in the NUMERIC field.

Assign the name “TITLES.TXT” to the file.
