If you have just collected important information, be sure to
confirm the file number and file name in the R2 port before
unloading the file.
In addition, when using the control panel, we recommend
using the RENAME function to change the file name
while recording is in progress. When using the MAVE-
F555, we recommend registering the file with the
MEMORY key.

5-5-4 Basic Operation of the P2 and
P3 Ports
The P2 port operates in the same manner in BVE mode as
it does in panel mode. It can be used as the PLAYER side
for linear editing and as an output port. When using a 2
input/2 output configuration, the file being collected
through the R2 port can also be loaded to the P2 port.
Furthermore, when using a 1 input/3 output configuration,
output through the P3 port can be controlled through the
control panel or the MAVE-F555.
Connect the RS-422 cable for the P2 port to the REMOTE
IN4 connector.
Connect the RS-422 cable for the P3 port to the REMOTE
IN3 connector.
