The message “Save Device?” and an indication of the digital signal to be saved (“DAT,” “adat,” or
“SCSI”) will flash on the display.
4. Rotate the JOG dial to select a type of digital signal format to be used for the save operation.
Selecting “adat” will save data in the adat digital signal format.
Selecting “DAT” will save data in the S/P DIF digital signal format.
Select “SCSI” if you are saving or loading data via SCSI. The following operation will be that when

5. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
Selection of the digital signal format for the save operation will be confirmed, and the existing

You can select any existing Program (up to 99) to save.
7. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The duration of the selected Program appears on the display so that you can edit the time
shorter or longer, as necessary. Time length recorded in the selected program will be displayed
and the time can now be edited. Normally, it is saved in the time displayed but at this stage, it is
also possible to save in any shorter time or by setting the time longer than what is actually
recorded. This function is provided for the purpose of saving in a short section of insufficient
tape capacity. Maximum saving time is 60 minutes.
8. Press the EXECUTE/YES key again.
“Save Trk? 1-16” (“1” is flashing) appears on the display and you can select tracks to save.
While “1” is flashing, rotate the JOG dial to select “1”->”9”->”17.” To select “8”->”16”->”24,” use
the SHUTTLE or press the HOLD/> key to flash “16” and rotate the JOG wheel.
You can select one of the following track combinations: “1-8,” “1-16,” “1-24,” “9-16,” “17-24.”
(Tracks 17-24 are additional tracks. Selecting “1-24” or “9-24” will cause the additional tracks to

the external device (DAT or adat).
Setting a START-ID (DAT) or a locate point at the recording start point will facilitate future
loading operations.
11. Confirm that the recording on the external device has started, and press the EXECUTE/YES
key. (“REMAIN” will light.)
The save operation starts, and the time required for the save operation appears on the display
and a few seconds later, it will start counting down. This few seconds delay is due to the pilot
signal which is recorded to mark the beginning of the Program to facilitate future load operation.
Therefore, the actual save operation starts when counting down starts.
Two tracks are saved each time in the order of Track 1 and 2, 3 and 4, etc. to a DAT machine.
Eight tracks are saved each time in the order of Track 1-8, 9-16, etc. to an adat machine.
The level meter indication during save of DAT will always be for only tracks 1 and 2 and always
for tracks 1~8 in save of adat.
12. When the save operation is complete, “COMPLETED!” flashes on the display.
13. Press the STOP button or the EXIT/NO key to quit the Setup mode. The display will return to the
previous time base indication.
• To cancel the operation or restore the indication shown before you pressed the EXECUTE/YES key, press the
STOP button or the EXIT/NO key. Pressing one of these keys repeatedly takes you to the previous layer, finally
quitting the Setup mode, and the display will return to the previous time base indication. If you press the STOP
button or the EXIT/NO key any time after you execute the save operation but before it is complete, the saved song
data will be invalid.
