The total time saved in the selected program will be shown
in the display, and this time can then be edited.
Normally, the displayed time is saved as it is. But, as men-
tioned in <Notes when saving data using DAT or adat> on
page 77, in cases where the data on the additional track is
longer than that on the real track, the time to ve saved can
be edited. However, time which can be edited has to be a
maximum 59 minutes 59 seconds. This feature is also effec-
tive for making a short save.
