lected headphone monitoring selection while recording or playing. One of the available headphone
selection can be selected as the headphone favorite.

source selections are available for Headphone Playback Mode, as well as “No Change”, which leaves
the headphone source set to the currently selected mode. Headphone Playback Mode is controlled in

Headphone Warning Tones
The 722 can generate an audible beep, or warning “bell”, in the headphones when an error has oc-
curred. The specific error will be reported on the LCD. The output level of the warning bell is menu-
selectable from off to –12 dBFS in the setup menu.

the user of the recorder’s current status. These beeps are only sent to the headphone monitor, these
beeps are not present in the recordings or at the analog outputs.
