DVD Location Recorder

Location Recorder Model PD204

Chapter 2: Preparation before using the PD204

The PD204 offers realtime clock.

The realtime clock data is used for a default file name when creating a new audio file on a disk,

the file creation date/time information, the time code start time when recording a time code by

the internal time code generator, and so on (see Notes below) .

The realtime clock is adjusted according to the local time when shipped, therefore, set the time

to your local time before using the PD204 by following the procedure below.

<Note>:

Only when the TC GEN mode is set to "24H RUN", the realtime clock data is used

as the TC start time (see pages 76 and 177 for details about the TC GEN mode).

Internal clock setting

1) While the unit is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to enter shift mode, followed by the

[ENTER/YES] key.

The unit enters MENU mode and brings up the MENU list screen for selecting the desired

main menu.

2) While "SYS SETUP" is highlighted, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display shows the SYS SETUP menu screen, on which you can select system setup

menu item.

The following procedure assumes that partition 1 (PT01) which has no recorded file is cur-

rently selected.

<Note>:

The realtime clock date is used for the default file name of a newly created file

when the file name mode is set to "DATE" using the "Default file name" item in the "SYS

SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 138).

The following shows the Home screen examples which are shown when the file name

mode is set to "DATE". While stopped, "<DATE>.wav" is shown in the NEXT field. During

recording or playback, the file name (based on the realtime clock data) given to the cur-

rent file is shown. (During playback, the remaining time is not shown.)
