Model PD-6 operation manual (Supplement for V2.20)

Enhancement of the "Default file name" menu item in the Setup menu

The "Default file name" menu item in the Setup menu is enhanced by adding the "Reel
mode" option to the default file name mode. Therefore, there are now three options for file
name mode selection: "Date", "Scene name + Take No." and "Reel No. + File No.".
See also "Default file name setting (Default file name)" on page 99 in the PD-6 operation
manual.
Press the [SETUP] key to enter the Setup menu, and use the [SEL] dial to select the "Default
file name", then press the [ENTER] key.
• Setting the file name mode
By pressing the [ENTER] key when the screen above right is shown, the currently selected mode
starts flashing and you can now select the desired mode (the default mode is "Take").
Use the [SEL] dial to select the desired mode and press the [ENTER] key to confirm your selection.
"<SCENE NAME>_<TAKE NUMBER>.wav" is the default file name. The SCENE NAME
Take is specified on the same screen above. The TAKE NUMBER is incremented automati-
cally each time recording is made.
(Default)
Example: Last_Scene -001.wav, Last_Scene -002.wav, etc.
The internal realtime clock data (with ".wav", the file extension) is the default file name.
Date
That is, a file name shows the recording date/time information.
Example: B05h 05m 06s 10may 2004.wav, etc.
The reel number of a drive (or a partition of the optional hard disk drive) currently selected
Reel for recording with the file number is the default file name.
Example: S001_005.wav, S002_008.wav, etc.
* After recording is made, the default file name can be edited using the "Edit file name" menu item
in the UTILITY menu.
When setting the file name mode to "Take", the SCENE NAME and TAKE NUMBER specified on the
same screen are used for each file name. Even if you set the file name to "Date" or "Reel", the SCENE
NAME and TAKE NUMBER currently set are used as the SCENE data in the meta data.
