Headphone Favorite Selection

If “

SELECTS FAVORITE MODE” is selected from the choices above, pushing the Rotary Switch selects

the assigned “Headphone Favorite” source. This feature is helpful to quickly return to a selected

headphone monitoring selection while recording or playing. One of the available headphone selec-

tion can be selected as the headphone favorite.

Headphone Playback Mode

The user may select a headphone source for automatic selection upon playback. All headphone

source selections are available for Headphone Playback Mode, as well as “No Change”, which leaves

the headphone source set to the currently selected mode. Headphone Playback Mode is controlled in

the Setup Menu.

Headphone Warning Tones

The 702 can generate an audible beep, or warning “bell”, in the headphones when an error has oc-

curred. The specific error will be reported on the LCD. The output level of the warning bell is menu-

selectable from off to –12 dBFS in the Setup Menu.

Recording Start and Stop Bells

If the Setup Menu option

HP: RECORD/STOP BELL is enabled, the 744T will generate beeps to alert

the user of the recorder’s current status. These beeps are only sent to the headphone monitor, these

beeps are not present in the recordings or at the analog outputs.
