Basic recording
After you finish preparing a recording media and connecting a mixer, you can start basic recording
using this recorder.
Initial settings

“SAFE.” The track indicators (square
frames) turn off.
Locate the top of the selected
Program (ABS 0).
Turn off the Vari Pitch function. (The
VARI PITCH key LED turns off.)
Stop the recorder. (The STOP
button LED turn off.)
Turn off the TRACK SHIFT key LED.
Turn off AUTO RTN mode and AUTO
PLAY mode. (AUTO RTN and AUTO
PLAY indicators turn off.)

Indication for sampling frequency
[44.1kHz] or [48kHz] is indicated.
When formatted at 96 kHz, noth-
ing is indicated.
You need to reset all the controls on this recorder to their initial settings according to the controls and
switches on the mixer before you proceed to the next step. This procedure is called “Initialize” in this
Guide and in the Reference Manual. The buttons and switches on this recorder should be reset as shown
below. Remember to “initialize this recorder” before you start a new session.
The sampling frequency is important when recording a digital source, as described later in "Basic
digital recording", but is not as important when recording analog source.
As described earlier in "Formatting a hard disk drive", the sampling frequency and quantization of
the current drive (<44.1 kHz 16 bit or 24 bit>, <48 kHz 16 bit or 24 bit> or <96 kHz 24 bit>) are
fixed when formatting. Therefore, the sampling frequency of a digital device connected to the
recorder must match the recorder's sampling frequency.
For example, if you record a CD source digitally, the recorder's sampling frequency must be 44.1
kHz because the sampling frequency of a CD source is 44.1 kHz. If you use the 48 kHz digital signal
of adat, the recorder's sampling frequency must be 48 kHz.
The sampling frequency selected when formatting the disk is indicated in the display. Please note
that no indication means the disk is formatted at 96 kHz sampling frequency.
