Making recording
After making the necessary switch/level settings for recording, you can start
recording.
<Note>
By default, you can make recording of analog input signals of all mixer channels
if each channel receives only an analog signal. If a channel receives both an analog
and digital signals, the digital signal takes priority and the analog signal of this
channel is not recorded.
If you want to make recording of analog signals for some channels and digital
signals for the other channels simultaneously, use the “Digital in” menu in the
Setup mode to select the analog or digital inputs for each two-channel pairs.
See “Digital input channel setting” on page 91 for details about the “Digital in”
menu.
1. To start recording, slide the [REC] key.
With a Normal mode disk, the PD-6 creates a “New File” and starts recording
to it.
By default, the real-time clock time data is given as the file name when an
audio file is created. (Example: “B19h 00m 30s 06jan 2003.wav”)
<Note>
Using the “Default file name” menu in the Setup mode, you can set the
default file name given when an audio file is created to “desired scene
name + take number” instead of the real-time clock time data. See “Chapter
7: Setup mode” on page 99 for details.
2. To stop recording, press the [STANDBY] key.
During recording, only the [STANDBY] key is effective. To stop the recorder
completely, press the [STOP] key after pressing the [STANDBY] key.
Note that the recorder automatically stops completely after a certain period of
time since it enters the pause mode. This period is set to three minutes by
default, but can be changed to a desired period between 0.1 and 9.9 minutes
in 0.1 minute steps or infinity using the “Pause time” menu in the Setup mode.
See “Chapter 7: Setup mode” on page xx for details.
If you press the [LOCATE] (or [STOP] + [REW]) key after stopping recording,
the recorder locates to the beginning of the newly created audio file. Therefore,
you can check the recording by pressing the [PLAY] key in this condition.
<Note>
With a Normal mode disk, every time you start recording after stopping
recording, a new audio file is created and recording is made from the
beginning of the new file. With a Tape mode disk, every time you start
recording after stopping recording, recording is made from the current
position.
