MR-8mkII Owner’s Manual (Read this chapter first!)
This section describes the basics of the MR-8mkII you should know before using the MR-8mkII.
Recording method
The MR-8mkII is fitted with a CompactFlash TM Card. Songs are recorded on a CompactFlash TM
Card along with the ABS time (from 00m 00s 000ms to 99m 59s 999ms).
The ABS time shows the absolute time on a CompactFlash TM Card and you can start recording
from any desired time within the range between 00m 00s 000ms and 99m 59s 999ms ABS time.
As the MR-8mkII does not consume the card space when no audio is recorded, you can record
audio effectively, while the recordable time for a tape recorder depends on the tape length.
