<Display Section>
The D-108 display integrates the level meter of a high-visibility FL tube with a 16 digits and 35 dot message display.
The level meter shows the Track 1-8 output level of the recorder section. The time display shows the current time of the
recorder section using ABS TIME (Absolute time), MTC (MIDI time code), or MIDI BAR/BEAT (bar/beat). This display also
shows messages required for interactive operation. The following section explains the display functions and provides
with some examples.
1. Display shown when the power is turned on
When you turn on the power to the D-108 and the connected E-IDE hard disk, or external SCSI drive (a formatted
removable disk or hard disk), the display shows the [Initializing...] message, [Current Dr], the name of the connected
current drive, then recording mode (8track mode, etc.), and finally the top position of the disk in the time base
(ABS, MTC, or BAR/BEAT/CLK) used in the last Program before you turned the power off.
The following example indicates that the D-108 started with the ABS Time Base used in Program 1.
