MR-8HD/CD
Owner's Manual (Data export to a personal computer)
This section describes how to convert audio data on tracks 7/8 which has been bounced or
recorded in stereo to a stereo WAV file. The converted stereo WAV file can be exported to a
personal computer or used to create an audio CD (CD-DA) using the internal CD-R/RW drive (or
an external CD-R/RW drive connected to the [USB HOST] port). See page 92 for details about how
to export the converted WAV file to your personal computer. See the supplementary manual
"How to use the CD-R/RW drive" for details about how to create an audio CD.
Two mono WAV files recorded on tracks 7/8
are converted to a stereo WAV file as shown
below. (Note that only files recorded on tracks
7/8 can be converted to a stereo WAV file.)
Track 7
Track 8
(L ch)
(R ch)
If you are going to make conversion
<Note>:
when no WAV data exists on tracks 7/8, the
error message ("Track 7/8 Empty!") appears
and the operation is canceled.
You can convert all track data (from ABS ZERO
to REC END) or data of a specified part (be-
tween the LOCATE A and LOCATE B points).
If you want to convert a part of track
<Note>:
data, you have to set the LOCATE A and LO-
CATE B points in advance.
<Hint>: You can play back a converted ste-
reo WAV file for checking, as well as set CUE
points for dividing file data into individual
CD tracks before writing it to a CD-R/RW disc.
See the supplementary manual "How to use
the CD-R/RW drive" for details.

Procedure of file conversion

The following assumes that the song whose track
data you want to convert is loaded.
1) While the recorder is stopped, press the
[7/8 > STEREO WAV FILE] key to enable the file
conversion function.
The display shows the "7/8 > STEREO WAV FILE"
screen, on which "ABS0-Rec End" is highlighted.
2) Press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.
"ABS0-Rec End" starts flashing, and you can
now select the conversion range between
"ABS0-Rec End" and "LOCATE A - LOCATE B".
To convert all track data, select "ABS0-Rec End".
To convert a specified range, select "LOCATE A
- LOCATE B".
3) Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select the
conversion range and press the [MENU/ENTER]
knob.
The selection is confirmed and the display
returns to the previous screen.
"NAME = *********" shows the name for the con-
verted file, and you can enter a desired name.
Initially, it shows the name of the source file,
therefore, if you do not change the name, the
same file name is given.
The following assumes that the file name is not
changed. For details about how to edit a name,
see "Editing a file name" on the next page.
When you convert data in the same song more
than once, you have to give a different name
for each converted file. See the <Note> on the
next page.
