• no action,
• new cue - cue markers are set within the file being written,
• new file - a new file is started with each press of the record button, the take counter is increased
by one.
When removing the CompactFlash card after recording, always observe the amber CF activity LED. If it
is lit, wait until it goes out before removing the card. If you remove the CF while the LED is lit, the file
will be corrupted and there is a possibility of FAT corruption as well.
Pre-Record Buffer
To prevent missing record cues or up-cutting takes, the 702 has pre-record (or pre-roll) buffering
available. When active, pre-record begins recording at a set number of seconds PRECEDING the
record button being pressed. The amount of pre-record is sample-rate-dependent. At 48 kHz, ten sec-
onds of buffered audio is available. At a 96 kHz sampling rate five seconds is available. At very high
rates (192 kHz) two seconds of pre-record buffer is available.
Failure During Recording
In the event of a recording media failure the error will be indicated on the front panel and by a tone
in headphones. Possible causes of media failure include a full CompactFlash card or a card not ca-
pable of keeping up with the record data.
Front Panel Lockout
See Panel Lock on page 8 to engage panel lock to prevent changes while recording.
Record Pause
This allows a recording to be stopped then continued without creating a new take or file. Record
Pause is useful for live music recording, reporter interviews, or any other application that can benefit
by stopping and starting recording without generating a new file. To use the Record Pause Feature:
1. Access the Setup Menu option REC: Record Pause and select Enabled.
The Record Pause feature does not support the 24-Hour Time Counter. If the Record Pause Enabled set-
ting is crossed out, the Time Counter is active and must be turned off before Record Pause is available.
Navigate to the Setup Menu Option TIME COUNTER: MODE and set it to Off.
2. Press the REC key to begin recording.
