The inverted line on the screen indicates the current item (Folder in the case of the screen shown). To change the highlighted item, rotate the SHUTTLE/DATA wheel. Pressing ENTER will operate on the current item. Items containing sub-menus are indicated with the right arrow icon.

Folder

Newly recorded files are always recorded into the currently active folder. When the Playback Mode is set to Folder, the HD-R1 will play back all audio files in this folder.

This menu lists all of the top-level folders on the CF card. By default, the currently active folder shows “(current)” next to its name. Rotating the SHUTTLE/DATA wheel will change the highlighted folder. Press ENTER to make a highlighted folder become the currently active folder. Press CANCEL to return to the Main Menu without changing the active folder.

For convenience, this menu also has an additional entry called Create New Folder. If selected, the HD-R1 will create a new folder, automatically naming it and making it the active folder.
