•

During recording, the media space indicator on the
screen displays the remaining space.
When there is no remaining space, the unit stops
recording, the file closes, and a warning message that
there is no space appears on the screen.
In the FAT file system used by this unit, the maximum
size for each file is limited to 2GB. If the file size
reaches the limit, the unit closes that file and continues
recording to a new file. In this situation, no gap in
recording occurs, so the files can be relinked in a
DAW, for example. Moreover, if the unit’s playback
mode is set to playlist, the files can be played back in
order without an audible gap between them.
