FR-2 Field Memory Recorder (Chapter 5: Recording/playback)
About overloading
When the FR-2 receives analog audio signals and the input amplifier (for L or R)
clips, the corresponding PEAK indicator lights up in red.
You can also set the FR-2 to generate the error tone from the internal speaker or
headphones for warning when the input amplifier clips.
The setting can be done from the "Error tone" menu item on the Setup menu in
the MENU mode. See "Setting error tone output condition" on page 87 for details.
<Note>: Note that if the [SP/HP MONITOR] control is set to "OFF", you cannot hear the error
tone.
Recording with PRE REC active
If you start recording when the [PRE REC] switch is set to ON, the previous data is
first delivered from the buffer. You may not miss the start of an important event to
be recorded.
You can edit the time length of audio stored in the buffer in one second steps
using the "Pre rec time" menu item on the Setup menu in the MENU mode. The
adjustable range of the time length depends on FS. See page 89 for details.
Note that recording stops after executing "post recording" which records audio
data currently stored in the buffer (actually, the incoming audio data is first stored
in the buffer and then recorded to the card, therefore, there is a time lag).
<Caution>: If you change the FS setting just before starting recording with the Pre rec mode
active, wait for 10 or more seconds before starting recording. Otherwise, the audio signal
currently stored in the buffer is recorded with altered pitch.

<Note>: Every time you start recording after stopping recording, a new audio file is created
and recording is made from the beginning of the new file ("one take - one file"). Each time a
file is created, the file number increases.
<Note>: Until the buffer is filled with audio data, the [REC STBY] indicator flashes. When it is
filled up, the [REC STBY] steadily lights.
