40. [AUDIO RDY - NEW FILE] key
Pressing this key alternates on and off of the NEW FILE mode.
When the mode is active, you can turn on [TC RDY].
In the NEW FILE mode, starting recording automatically creates a new file to be re-
corded. If the timecode track is armed then, timecode is also recorded simultaneously.
Note that you cannot record to a "Tape mode" audio file in the NEW FILE mode.
See "Chapter 4: Audio recording/playback" for details about how to use this key.
41. [INPUT MON] key
Turns on or off the input monitor mode. When on, the indicator is lit.
During recording, you always monitor the input signals regardless of the status of
the input monitor mode.
Also, when the "Auto EE MD?" menu in the Setup mode is set to "On", you always
monitor the input signals except for during playback, regardless of the status of the
input monitor mode.
42. Alphanumeric keys
These keys are used to directly enter alphanumeric characters when editing a name
or time, or specifying a memory or cue point.
For example, you can also use the "2" key to enter "a", "b", "c", "A", "B" and "C". After
entering the desired character, pressing one of the other alphanumeric keys auto-
matically moves the cursor to the next digit.
