File Viewer Navigation
Moving from file to file is similar to navigating among files on a computer.
1. Enter the file menu by either selecting FILE:VIEW FILES file in the setup menu or by pressing the front
panel HDD key. By default the folder where the last recorded file or played file is located with be the
folder first opened. The 744T knows this file name by reading a .txt file written to each time the unit
records or plays audio.
2. To move up the hierarchy scroll up to the top of the menu to “ \..” .
3. Press enter or push the Rotary Switch to go up one menu level.
4. From the root menu, selecting \.. opens the media select screen.
5. Continuing up the file hierarchy the media menu is viewable. Select either internal hard drive or CF (if
installed) and drill down through the directories of that medium to the file required.
Larger files and files from CompactFlash take added time to show details; this is normal.
File Viewer Screen
The file viewer screen contains information about the individual audio files contained in the direc-
tory. The left side of the display shows files and folders. The top line displays the directory path in
the form of DRIVE\FOLDER NAME. File names are listed in the order they were recorded.
