Owner's Manual addendum
•
When using a folder that contains a large number
of files, starting recording can take time and the
beginnings of recordings might be cut off. To prevent
this, use a folder that contains as few takes as possible
or put the unit in recording standby before recording.
Moreover, if a folder contains a large number of files,
the same issues can occur when starting a new take
while continuing to record. (This occurs when you
press the
REC
key during recording and automatically
if the maximum file size is exceeded. For details, see
“Starting a new take and continuing to record” on page
32 of the Owner’s Manual.)
NOTE
•
You should use a folder that contains as few takes
as possible when planning to create new takes while
recording.
•
To avoid these problems, the maximum number of
takes in a folder is about 100.
•
Folders created directly inside the MUSIC folder
using a computer can be given names with 16 or more
characters without interfering with the operation of the
unit, but only the first 15 characters will be shown on its
display.
