DVD Location Recorder (Chapter 5: Recording/playback)
• Recording with the PRE REC mode active
If you start recording with the [PRE REC] switch set to “ON”, the buffered audio data
is also recorded. This function may prevent you from missing the beginning of
important recording.
The buffered time is set to 10 seconds by default, but this can be changed to desired
time between 1 and 10 seconds in 1 second steps using the “Pre rec time” menu in
the Setup mode. See “Chapter 7: Setup mode” on page 101 for details.
If you press the [STANDBY] key to stop recording, the recorder will stop after executing
“post recording” which records audio data currently stored in the buffer.
<Notes>
Do not alter the [PRE REC] switch setting during recording.
When the [PRE REC] switch is set to “ON”, the [ANALOG LINE OUT] connectors
output analog audio input signals with no delay, but output a delayed digital
input signal.
If you switch the Fs setting to “ON”, wait for 10 seconds before starting recording.
Otherwise, the audio signal stored in the buffer is recorded with the pitch altered.
When making recording at 88.2kHz or 96kHz Fs with the “Pre rec” switch set to
“ON”, the maiximum buffered time is kimited to five seconds. Therefore, even
if you set the “Pre rec time” menu to more than 5 seconds, the recording buffer
can hold only 5-second audio data.
<Note>
If you have made recording unsuccessfully, you can cancel the recording and
clear the audio file immediately.
After recording is made, pressing the [STANDBY] key while holding down the
[CLEAR] key brings up the screen as shown below.
Then pressing the [ENTER] key cancels the recording you made last time and
clears the audio file. After the PD-6 clears the file, the display shows "Com-
pleted!" briefly, followed by the screen of the audio file which was loaded be-
fore the audio file you have just cleared was made.
To cancel clearing the file while the screen above is shown, press the [EXIT]
key.
The operation described above is effective only for the last recording, and you
cannot restore the file once it is cleared.
