5. Use the JOG dial to select a Program to save.
If multiple Programs exists in the current drive disk, turn
the JOG dial to change the Program number.
6. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The FD-8 displays the total time of the selected Program.
You can edit this total time value. That is, you can shorten
the time required for the save operation.
For example, if the duration of the Program is 8 minutes
25 seconds, you can edit this time value to 5 minutes.
(You can edit up to 59 minutes 59 seconds.)
This is useful when the backup tape lacks adequate space.
Flashing
To edit the time value, use the HOLD/> key, REWIND
button, or F FWD button to move the flashing cursor to
the desired digit, and turn the JOG dial to change the
value. (The above example shows you can edit the minute
value.)
7. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The FD-8 displays the track selection screen.
First, Real tracks 1–8 appear. Turn the JOG dial to change
number “8” to the desired number.

Additional track 9–24).
9. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The display changes as follows.
This means “Start recording on the DAT (or adat)!”
10. Start recording on the DAT (or adat).
At this time you could set a START-ID or a locate point at

the top of the Program to load later.
11. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The FD-8 starts saving data and displays the total time
required for the save operation. The time value starts
