<Tip>
When you stop recording in the Pre rec mode, the unit will stop after executing "post
recording" which records audio data currently stored in the buffer.
<Note>:
In the Pre rec mode, if you switch the Fs/Bit setting, wait for ten seconds
before starting recording .
Otherwise, the audio signal stored in the buffer is recorded with altered pitch.
Recording the slate tone
The DV824 can generate and record the slate tone.
While holding down the [SLATE TONE] key, the slate tone (at 1 kHz, reference
level) is fed to all channels, as well as output from the [ANALOG OUT]
connectors.
You can record the slate tone to the beginning of an audio file during recording,
as well as match the level between the DV824 and an external device.
<Tip>
In the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode, the "Tone Rec mode" menu item is
available. This item selects the mode for slate tone recording. By default, it is set to
"Off" and the tone is not automatically recorded. Use this menu item when you
want to use the slate tone function (
see page 121 for details
).
<Note>:
When the Pre rec mode is active, the slate tone is not recorded at the
beginning of recording even though the slate tone Rec On/Off is set to "On". The
pop tone can be recorded at the recording end.

[SLATE TONE] key
Level meters for all chan-
nels show the slate tone
level.
<Tip>
You can clear the peak hold of the level meters by pressing the [CLEAR/
FALSE START
]
key. You can set the peak hold time of the level meter via the "Peak hold" menu item
in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (by default, three seconds).
See page
122 for details.
<Note>:
If you execute pre recording at 88.2k or 96k FS, the pre recording time
automatically reduces to half the selected value. For example, if the pre recording
time is set to ten seconds, the buffer stores only five seconds of audio data.
