Model UR-2 <Recording>
Each time you make recording, the UR-2 creates
a file to the current storage device (an SD card or
USB memory).
In the following operation examples, it is assumed
that recording is made to a SD (SDHC) card put
into the [SD-1] slot.
It is also assumed that the menu items for re-
cording described earlier are set as default set-
tings.
Adjusting the recording level
You can adjust the recording level while the unit is
in the input monitor mode. To enter the input moni-
tor mode, press the [REC RDY] key to turn on the
indicator.
Before recording an analog source, adjust the re-
cording level using the [INPUT LEVEL] control. (You
do not need to adjust the level when recording a
digital source.)

[INPUT LEVEL] control
Adjust the recording level appropriately so that the
"P" (peak) position of the level meter does not turn
on. To get the maximum signal-to-noise perfor-
mance, set the recording level appropriately so that
the meter indication does not reach "P" (peak) but
goes up near to "P" (peak) at the loudest part of the
input signal. (When you adjust the level, the mar-
gin level value also changes.)
The center detent position of the [INPUT LEVEL]
control is the reference position. That is, when the
unit receives a nominal input level signal, a nomi-
nal output level signal is output.
Note that, when the "P" position is frequently lit,
the sound may distorted.
By default, the reference level is set to the "-20 dBFS"
relative to digital full-scale. "20" of the onscreen
meter is labeled in inverse video, showing that it is
the reference position.

If you insert a new SD card, the unit turns on the
[SD-1] indicator in green and brings up the follow-
ing screen after reading the card information.
While the unit is in the input monitor mode, "
NEXT
"
is displayed in the file name area, as well as the file
name given to the next recording file (by default,
"SCENE_001.wav" is displayed).
The screen also displays the file mode, FS/bit, in-
put source and margin level.
<Memo>: If you insert more than one storage
device while the unit is turned on, the first de-
vice you insert is selected as the current storage
device. To change the current storage device, use
the storage selection screen (see page 28).
<Memo>: If you mount an SD card and then turn
on the unit, the same screen as above appears.
