Model VR240 Audio Logging Recorder
5-28
January 2000
Advance
Allows you to listen to the audio as you move forward at
(relatively) high speed through the recording, starting at the point
at which you hit
Advance.
The speed depends upon how many
channels are recorded. If you have one or only a few channels,
the scan will proceed many times faster than it would if you
listened to the media.
The
Advance
key starts the media in motion and blanks the
remainder of the
Scan
menu.
Pause
stops the forward motion of the media and toggles back to the
Scan
menu from which you can again go forward or backward
while watching/listening to the audio.
The media counter and time/date display operates erratically in
Scan
. This is
because at any given time you can be examining data from the media (fast), or
from the memory (very fast), or waiting for the media to reposition (slow).
Pressing the Play soft key starts the media playing from the location last shown.
Note that, when you hit
Play
, the menu drops back one level to the main
Play
menu and the
Scan
soft key is available. Then while playing, the Pause soft key
is available. This allows you to toggle between
Play
and
Scan
very
conveniently. This feature, along with the
Reverse
soft key makes it easy to play
and replay a particular segment of the media with a minimum of key presses.
Example:
You have reached 17:19:30 while playing, and you heard something you
want to listen to carefully. Being in the
Play
menu, you can hit
Scan
.
Once done, hit (or hold)
BackOneSec
until you go back to what you
heard. Now hit
Play
on the same menu, which will give you access to the
Scan
soft key. This procedure is easier done than said: You only have to
press two keys to repeat a segment, and it becomes intuitive very quickly.
SetMem
Allows you to “mark” a location on the media (not the internal hard disk) for
subsequent relocation by
GoTo
. It is a “scratchpad” that automatically records
the time, date, and location of the material to which you are currently listening.
You can hit this key either while playing or when the media is paused. When you
do so, the bottom line of the display gives you the option of selecting one of four
memories in which to store the current location. You can select one or hit the
>
soft key, then
Cancel
if you change your mind. Doing either will return you to the
Play
menu. You can set up to four memories for each drive. Refer to paragraph
5-26.
5-19. SIMULTANEOUS PLAY AND RECORD, AND RESUME.
You can, by selecting the appropriate
Drive
, play back on one drive while recording on the
other. You also have the option of selecting the
Internal Hard Disk
on which you can play back
without interrupting its record/ data transfer activity. If the selected drive or the internal hard
disk is playing, the menu options appropriate for that operation will be displayed. If the selected
