FTP (file transfer protocol)
By using an FTP client application, you can transfer files between this unit
and a computer.
Connect to this unit and login in the same way as with other FTP servers.
After connecting and logging in, “A:” and “B:” will appear in the root directory.
These correspond to the unit's CF1 and CF2 slots. If the corresponding slot
does not contain a card, the “A:” or “B:” will appear empty.
NOTE
i
To display Japanese, use an FTP application that supports Unicode.
i
Always set the maximum number of simultaneous transfers of the FTP client
application to "1". If not set to "1" files cannot be transferred properly.

garding overwriting files” below.

Important precautions regarding overwriting files
You cannot overwrite the take that is in use on the playlist mode
ADJUST
screen. You can overwrite other files on this unit at any time.
However, when the
PLAY SETUP
screen
GENERAL
page
Play Mode
setting is
All Take
, you might not be able to overwrite the take following the current
take depending on the timing.
Precaution in playlist mode
In playlist mode, if you overwrite a take that has been added to a playlist as
an entry, a “?” will be shown for the corresponding entry on the
ENTRY
and
file
ASSIGN
screens, and that file will be ignored for playback.
To enable playback of a file that has overwritten another, add the overwrit-
ten file as an entry.
Precautions in on air mode
i
In on air mode, if you overwrite a file shown in the on air list screen, the
corresponding take will be unchecked and the file will be ignored for
playback.
i
When the following rebuild confirmation message is shown, touch
OK
.
When you rebuild all the takes will be enabled for playback (checked), so
deselect any that you do not want to be played back.
Precaution when overwriting files with different properties
If overwriting causes the size, number of channels, bit-rate or sampling
frequency of an audio file to be different from the previous file, inconsisten-
cies could occur in the existing timeline or playlist. If such an inconsistency
occurs, the following error message will appear when you start playback.
Conduct the following to eliminate the inconsistency and stop the error mes-
sage from occurring.
i
Timeline mode: Erase the affected region.
i
Take mode:
Delete the affected take from the CF card.
i
Playlist mode: Add the overwritten file as an entry.
i
On air mode:
Use the Home Screen pull-down menu
REBUILD
button.
CAUTION
Do not overwrite an existing audio file with a file that uses a different sampling
frequency. The inconformity that results could become unresolvable.
Precautions when deleting files on the unit
The current take can be deleted only when the unit is stopped. Files other
than the current take can be deleted at any time.
Deleting files will cause inconsistencies between the system files and audio
files, so it is necessary to rebuild after deleting a file.
After deleting a file (and stopping if another file has been playing back or
recording), the following rebuild confirmation message will appear. Touch
OK
to rebuild.
