Erasing a file

You can erase the current file in the following way:

1Select the EDIT sub-menu from the main menu.

2From this sub-menu, select ERASE. A popup mes- sage appears.

3Press ENTER to erase the file, CANCEL to cancel the action.

Renaming a file

When the DV-RA1000HD records files, it numbers them in sequence, starting at 0, which is probably not very useful in the future.

To rename files, and provide them with meaningful titles for future reference:

1Select the EDIT sub-menu from the main menu.

2From this sub-menu, select RENAME. Press ENTER.

3Use the JOG/DATA dial to highlight a file, and press the F3 or F4 key to start editing.

4Edit the file name as described in “Naming files, projects, marks, etc.” on page 29.

5Press ENTER when done.

Editing files

CAUTION

These editing operations are destructive, but there is one level of undo available which applies to the operations in the edit menu.

Combining files

If two recordings have been made in the same project which are to form one track, the files can be joined together.

NOTE

This operation is not possible with files recorded in DSD mode.

You cannot join together files that are transferred from a CD if the CD has its copy ID set to “prohibit.”

The current file is joined to the file following it in the play list (so if two files are to be joined and they are not next to each other in the play list, the play list must be edited). (See “Play lists” on page 46.)

TIP

Although this technique simply appends one file to the end of another, it is possible to remove unwant- ed heads and tails using the editing functions. (See “Dividing files” on page 48.)

2From this sub-menu, select COMBINE. Press ENTER.

3Press ENTER to combine the files, or CANCEL to cancel the operation.

NOTE

The maximum size of a file is 2 GB, as explained on “Recording times and track lengths” on page 41. If combining two files will create a file larger than this, a popup message alerts you to the fact, and you cannot proceed with the combine operation.

1Select the EDIT sub-menu from the main menu.
