13. Record track select keys
[RECORD TRACK (1/L, 2/R, 3/L, 4/R, 5/L, 6/R, 7/L, 8/R)]
These keys enable you to select “SAFE” or “READY” for a
recording track. Pressing the key once will cause the
corresponding track to enter READY mode, and the LED of
the key you pressed to flash. Pressing the key again will
cause the corresponding track to enter “SAFE” mode, and
the LED to turn off. When you start recording on a track in
READY mode, the flashing LED remains lit.
If you press only the RECORD button with a track in READY
mode, you can monitor the signal input to the READY track
so that you can adjust the recording level. To cancel this
input monitoring status, press the RECORD button again.
(This causes the FD-8 to enter playback monitoring mode.)
You can also use these select keys to select tracks to edit for
Copy & Paste, Move & Paste, Erase, etc.
Note: You can record on Real tracks 1–8 in real-time, but
not on Additional tracks 9–24. If you are using an MO drive
as the current drive, you can record only two tracks
simultaneously. If you try to record more than two tracks by
setting them to READY mode, [track Over !] appears and
READY mode will be cancelled.
Refer to page 25 for more information on playback monitoring
and input monitoring.
14. LCD
The LCD indicates signal levels and various settings.
Refer to “Display Section” on page 17 for more information
on the display.
15. Contrast adjustment knob
Use this knob to adjust the contrast of the LCD. Turning
this knob clockwise will increase the contrast, and turning
it counter-clockwise will decrease the contrast.
Note: The display is not illegible if you leave the knob
counter-clockwise all the way.

16. Scrub key [SCRUB]

Digital Scrub mode. At this point, press the desired RECORD
RACK select key to digitally scrub the selected track playback
using the JOG dial.
