FR-2 Field Memory Recorder (Chapter 5: Recording/playback)
You can monitor recording signals via headphones (or the internal monitor speaker).
Inserting a plug to the [PHONES] jack automatically disengages the internal speaker,
and you can monitor the signals only via headphones.
The monitor level can be adjusted by the [SP/HP MONITOR] control. This control
is a pushlock type. Pressing on the control knob raises it above the panel to permit
level adjustment. Pressing the control again recesses the knob to avoid accidental
setting changes.
To turn off the monitor sound completely, rotate the control fully counterclock-
wise until it clicks.
<Note>: While operating the FR-2 on batteries, we recommend not to raise the monitor
volume more than required. Raising the volume consumes more battery power.

When the remaining space is more than 2 GBytes,
"2000MB" or the equivalent time value is shown.
When the remaining space
of the current memory card
is more than 2 GBytes
When the remaining space
of the current memory card
gets less than 2 Gbytes
The current remaining time or space is shown.
The remaining space is shown. The remaining time is shown.
The remaining time is calculated based on the current [FS (kHz)] and [QUANTIZA-

Depending on the recorder status, the display shows the remaining value as fol-
lows.
<Note>: The remaining time is shown in "*h**m" when it is over 60 minutes, while it is shown in "**m**s"
