Setting the Record Protect function (“Rec Protect ?” menu)
The FD-8 features the Record Protect function, which is similar to the function of record-protect tabs on cassette
tapes. The “Setting the Record Protect function” menu allows you to turn the Record Protect function on and off.
When this function is turned on, you cannot record, paste, or erase data. Use this function to protect your
precious data from being erased accidentally.
• Initial setting: [o FF]
• Option: [on] or [o FF]
* You can turn the function on and off for each Program individually.
* The settings can be saved and loaded as part of the song data.
* The settings are maintained after you turn off the power to the unit.
* The Program is automatically checked before the operation.
<Notes>
• This menu is used to select a digital signal used for external
synchronization when Slave mode is turned on. If you wish to specify
the type of digital signals to record, you need to use the “Setting
digital input tracks” menu.
• When you set the Slave type, the Vari Pitch function is
automatically disabled. (The [VARI PITCH] indicator turns off.)
<Notes>
• If you set the Slave type to [SP di F] (S/P DIF digital signal) or [Ad
At] (adat digital signal), [DIGITAL] lights up on the display when the
FD-8 receives a normal digital signal from the external device. If
the signal is abnormal, the [DIGITAL] indicators flash to give you an
alarm.
• If you set the Slave type to [SP diF] (S/P DIF digital signal),
approximately two seconds of the sound in the entire system will be
muted when the FD-8 locks or unlocks to clock. Make sure to input
a stable digital signal source.

level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP mode and
displays the previous Time Base.
