and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the " Save Length " screen.
Initially, the recorded time length of the selected program
(ABS 0 to REC END) is shown as the time length of data
saving. Normally you do not need to edit the length but
you may edit it to the desired value if needed.
For example, if the actual recorded time is 9 min. 00 sec.,
you can make the length of the data to be saved shorter
or longer than 9 min. 00 sec., as long as the length does
not exceed 59 min.59 sec.
The initially displayed value here is the length of the Real
track, therefore, as noted earlier, you may edit the value
to match the length of the Additional track if it is longer.
