2 From this sub-menu, select COMBINE . Press
ENTER .
3 Press 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 32. 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.
Dividing files
You can split a file into two parts at the current play-
back position. this may be useful if you want to
divide a single long live recording into separate
tracks, for example.
TIP
You may want to set a mark at the split point so that
you can locate it easily.
File division always takes place on the current file.
Each resulting file must be at least 4 seconds in
length to be usable. If neither part resulting from the
division is greater than four seconds in length, the
divide operation cannot be carried out. If one result-
ing file is under 4 seconds in length, a popup mes-
sage warns you. If you carry on with the divide
operation, the short part is deleted (of course, this
might be a cough or fret noise before a take which
would be edited out in any case).
1 Press MENU and use the wheel and ENTER to
select the DVD menu. From there, select the EDIT
sub-menu.
2 From this sub-menu, select DIVIDE . Press
ENTER .
The DV-RA1000 enters pause mode, and the
first three seconds of the file following the divi-
sion point are played back as a loop. Use the
wheel to trim the division point so that the new
file starts at the point you want.
3 Press ENTER to set the division point and split
the file. The second file will take the same
name as the first, but the name will end with
_2 .

ation, or CANCEL to cancel the undo/redo.
