File Management
The 702, like a computer, saves audio recordings to a file system containing files and folders.
The 702 formats its CompactFlash medium, and attached external drives as single drives named
“ 702 CF”and “702 EXTHDD,” respectively. All files generated by the 702 can be saved to the Root
Folder, a Daily Folder, or a Scene Folder.
Folder Actions
All files generated by the 702 can be saved to the Root directory, a Project Folder, a Daily (Roll)
Folder, or a Scene Folder (Files are saved to the Root directory by default). File organiza-
tion is managed in the Setup Menu option FILE: FOLDER OPTIONS. Folder choices include
TOP-LEVEL, MID-LEVEL, AND BOTTOM LEVEL FOLDERS. Folders are created when the record key
is pressed. This reduces the likelihood of empty folders.
• Top-Level folder - is a root-level folder and can be set with a user-selected name. The Top-
Level folder can also be de-activated by selecting < NONE> from the Setup Menu. If the Top-
Level folder is not used then the next lower-level folder will reside at the drive’s root. If the
TOP-LEVEL folder is active then the MID-LEVEL and BOTTOM-LEVEL folders will be its sub-
folders.
• Mid-Level /Daily folder - can be selected as a < DAILY> folder, a folder with a user-selected
name, or not used. If a TOP-LEVEL folder is in use, the MID-LEVEL folder will be a sub-folder of
the TOP-LEVEL folder. If no TOP-LEVEL folder is used the MID-LEVEL folder will reside at the
drive’s root. If set to < DAILY> a new folder will be created daily. When recording past midnight
the 702 will prompt to make to a new daily folder.
• Bottom-Level /Scene Folders - can be selected as a < SCENE> folder which will use the name
generated from REC: SCENE NAME/NUMBER Setup Menu, as a user-selected name, or not used
at all. If no upper-level folder is in use, the BOTTOM-LEVEL folder will reside at drive’s root. If
the MID-LEVEL and/or TOP-LEVEL are in use the BOTTOM-LEVEL folder will be a sub-folder.
Example: If a daily Folder is desired, set the TOP-LEVEL to , the MID-LEVEL folder to
, and the BOTTOM-LEVEL to . This will generate a Daily Folder in the root di-
rectory with it’s files directly inside the folder.
