Recording to a "Tape mode" audio file in the INSERT mode
You can record to a "Tape mode" audio file only in the INSERT mode.
If an accident may happens, such as a sudden power failure or shutdown of the unit, recorded data on
a "Tape mode" audio file will survive. Therefore, it will be suitable for live recording or preserving data
for a long period of time.
<Note>
• When formatting a disk in the Tape mode, a single "Tape mode" audio file is created automatically. Unlike a
"Normal mode" audio file, you cannot create more than one "Tape mode" audio file on a disk. however, note
that you can create "Normal mode" audio files on a disk formatted in the Tape mode. (See "Tips" on the next
page.)
• You cannot undo a recording to a "Tape mode" file. If you press the [UNDO] key, "History File Non" is shown
on the display and the key operation is ineffective.
• When "Rec Protect" menu in the Utility mode is set to "ON", you cannot make recording. See "Chapter 12:
Utility mode" for details about how to release the protection.
• You can record up to 2-GB audio data to a “Tape mode” audio file. The recorder automatically stops when it
elapses the maximum recording time. You can check the maximum recording time by pressing the [F FWD]
key while holding down the [STOP] key.
You can record to a
