Model D2424LV Quick Operation Guide
It is a good idea to check the available recording time after you format the disk. To do so, press the
[DISP
SEL]
key to display the REMAIN time indication, which indicates the available recording time and recording
space in the selected Time Base unit.
Press the
[DISP SEL]
key to return to the previous Time Base display.
The REMAIN time values are based on a mono track recording. If you wish to record on multiple tracks,
you can find out how many minutes of a song you can record by dividing the REMAIN time value by the
number of tracks. Check the REMAIN value each time before you make a new recording.
When you format the hard disk one Program (*1) is
automatically set up, and “
ABS 00M 00S 00F
” (ABS Time
Base - *2) appears, indicating that the top of the Program
is located.
Now, you can start recording, playback, and editing
on this unit using the installed hard disk.
(*1) Program:
You can set up a maximum of 99 Programs, limited
by the available space on your hard disk.
You can select any Program to perform recording,
playback, and edit (Program Select function).
You may also name the Programs to facilitate
managing individual songs (Program Title Edit
function). You can delete unnecessary Programs
(Program Delete function).
For more information, refer to the Reference Manual.
(*2) Time Base:
This document and the Reference Manual use the
word “Time Base” frequently. This refers to the
units to indicate the current transport position of
the recorder, in other words, Absolute Time.
This recorder also uses MTC (MIDI time code) and
BAR/BEAT/CLK (bar/beat/clock). An MTC value is
a relative time value calculated by adding an MTC
offset value to the ABS time value. BAR/BEAT/CLK
indicates a position within a song of this recorder’s
tempo map based on the MIDI clock position pointer.
You can switch to any of these units as follows.
For more information on the Time Base, refer to the
Reference Manual.
Time remaining
When Bar/Beat/Clk is selected,
you can see the remaining re-
cording space in bar/beat/click.
Space remaining
• When ABS Time Base appears on the display, hold down
the [SHIFT] key and press the [DISP SEL] key repeatedly to
switch among these units.
