Default File Name Setting [Default File Name] - Fostex DV824 Owner's Manual

Default file name setting [Default file name]

The "Default file name" menu item selects the default name format of an audio file
which is created automatically when recording starts.
You can give a file name of date information (according to the internal realtime
clock) or a scene name with a take number.
• Selecting the "File name mode"
When you highlight "Default File Name" and press the [ENTER/YES] key on the SYS SETUP
menu screen, the second level screen appears. On this screen, "File name mode: ***" is high-
lighted. By pressing the [ENTER/YES] key again, the current setting starts flashing and you can
now make selection using the [MENU] dial. By default, "Take" flashes.
If you select "Take" and press the [ENTER/YES] key, the screen prompts you to set "Default file
name".
You can select from among "Date" and "Take" (the default is "Take".)
The internal realtime clock data (with ".wav", the file extension) is the file name.

Example: B05h 05m 06s 10may 2004.wav
("<DATE>" is shown in the "Next file name" field on the Home screen.)
"<SCENE NAME> + <TAKE NUMBER>" (with ".wav", the file extension) is the file name. The
Take
TAKE NUMBER is incremented automatically each time recording is made.

After entering the desired scene name, pressing the [ENTER/YES] key confirms the scene name,
while the screen prompts you to enter the TAKE NUMBER.
Enter the desired take number with the similar manner, and press the [ENTER/YES] key to
