The new "False Start" menu item added to the Setup menu.
With the earlier version, if you have made recording unsuccessfully, you can cancel the
recording and clear (delete) the audio file by executing "False start" (see page 68 in the PD-
6 operation manual).
With V2.20, you have a choice of keeping or completely deleting the audio file when ex-

menu appropriately.
The following shows how to set the False start mode.

You can now select the desired mode.
3) Use the [SEL] dial to select the desired mode and press the [ENTER] key.

previous take number) and the canceled audio file is stored as a file with the file name starting by
"~nn" followed by the original name ("nn" shows the number). Up to 100 canceled files (starting by
~, ~1 through ~99) can be stored. The following examples show how the file names are given.
