3. Pause the recording at any time by pressing the STOP key once. When paused the absolute time and
Record LED will flash.

Things to consider when using Record Pause:
• Time Counter Mode must be Off.
• Multi-unit linking using the C. Link connection is not supported.
• Pre-Roll is only added at the beginning of a file or take. Pre-Roll is not added when recording is
resumed from the paused state.
Record Timer
The 702 is equipped with a record start and stop timer. This allows a user to record a take at a specific
time from an unattended recorder. Set the start time in the Setup Menu option REC: TIMER START
then set the record stop time in the Setup Menu option REC: TIMER STOP. The 702 will only start
recording if the recorder is On when the timer start time elapses.
Playback
The 702 has high-resolution playback circuitry and is appropriate for any reference audio applica-
tion. Any file recorded by the 702 can be played back, including MP2, MP3, FLAC, and WAV files.
Whether files were recorded from the 702 or from copied to a CompactFlash card using a card reader,
the 702 will recognize valid audio files. In addition, files copied to CF from a computer can be played
back in the recorder. This is useful when using the 702 as a high-resolution playback device.
When play is pressed, the 702 defaults to playing the most recently recorded (or played) sound file,
unless another sound file is selected. There are two ways to select sound files for playback.
• Press either the FastForward or Reverse button to put the 702 in to play-stop mode. The file
name display will flash and the FastForward and Reverse buttons can be used to step through
sound files in the currently selected file folder.
• To select files in other folders, press the HDD button to enter the File Viewer. Navigate to the
appropriate file folder by scrolling up and down the file list. Highlight the sound file for play-
back and press play.
AutoPlay
The 702 can be set to play back all valid sound files in a folder. Files will play back in their order they
were placed in the folder. Autoplay can be set with the following options:
• Disabled – auto playback is off
• Play all – all files in the folder will play, then stop when all files have been played
• Repeat one – the selected file will play back continuously until stopped by the user
• Repeat all – all files in the folder will play in succession, then repeat until stopped by the user

The 702 records audio to the industry-standard Broadcast Wave file format, either monophonic or
polyphonic, MP2, MP3, or FLAC. Files created by the 702 receive the .WAV, .MP2, .MP3, .FLAC file
extensions. The 702 will read files with the .BWF extension.
