REC FILE FORMAT page to open the AUTO FILE
INCREMENT screen. (See “Menu operation procedures” on
page 16.)

Incrementing take numbers manually
You can press the 0 [SPLIT] button during recording to
increment the take number.
A message will appear if incrementing is not possible when you
press the 0 [SPLIT] button due to system limitations under
conditions like the following.
o When the 0 [SPLIT] button is pressed repeatedly in a
short amount of time
o When the media has very little remaining open space
o When the limit to the number of files in a folder is reached
Adding marks automatically when
recording
By turning the auto mark function on, you can have the unit add
marks automatically when audio level overloads occur or when
synchronization errors occur because external clock is lost.
Using this function, you can quickly search for locations where
problems occurred during recording.
1. Select the AUTO MARK item on the REC OPTIONS
page to open the AUTO MARK screen. (See “Menu
operation procedures” on page 16.)
2. Use the MULTI JOG dial to set the following auto mark
function settings.
AUDIO OVER
Add a mark whenever the audio level reaches 0 dB (full
bit).
Options: OFF (default value), ON
SYNC UNLOCK
Add a mark whenever synchronization with the master
clock is lost.
Options: OFF (default value), ON
TIME INTERVAL
Add a mark at set time intervals.
Options: OFF (default value), ON
INTERVAL TIME
Set the length of the interval for adding marks when the
TIME INTERVAL item is on.
Options: 1min – 240min (1-minute increments,
default is 10min)
NOTE
•
When the AUTO MARK screen is open, use the .//
[MARK .//] buttons to move the cursor between
setting items.
•
When the AUTO MARK screen is open and the cursor is
at the INTERVAL TIME item, turn the MULTI JOG dial
while pressing and holding the SHIFT button to change the
time in 10-minute increments.
3. When the cursor is at the INTERVAL TIME item, press
the MULTI JOG dial to confirm the setting and return to the
menu.
NOTE
•
After an AUDIO OVER or SYNC UNLOCK mark is
added, the same type of mark will not be added again until
at least 10 seconds have passed.
•
For an AUDIO OVER , a mark named “OVERxx”* will be
added.
•
For a SYNC UNLOCK , a mark named “UNLKxx”* will be
added.
•
For a TIME INTERVAL , a mark named “TIMExx”* will
be added.
*The “xx” is a number given to all marks that is incremented
in order.
