Selecting The Default File Name Type (File Name Mode) - Fostex FR-2LE Owner's Manual

FR-2LE Field Memory Recorder (Chapter 7: MENU mode/Setup menu)

Selecting the default file name type (File Name Mode)

Each time recording is made, an audio file is created with a specific "default" file name which
is automatically given.
This menu item selects the default file name type from among the creation date/time, "scene
name + take number" and "reel number + File number".
In the following description, it is assumed that the FR-2LE is in the MENU mode and the main
menu screen is shown ("File >" is highlighted).
1) Use the [+] or [-] key to select "Setup >" and press the [MENU/ENTER] key.
The display now shows the Setup menu.
2) Use the [+] or [-] key to select "FileNameMode: **" and press the [MENU/ENTER] key.
The current setting starts flashing and you can now change the setting (by default, "Date"
is selected).
You can select from among the following options.
A file name contains date/time information of the realtime clock when the audio file is
created. For example, if a file is created at 12:30:25 on January 25 in 2007, the file name
Date (default)
is "B12h30m25s25jan2007y.wav" (for a BWF file) or "B12h30m25s25jan2007y.mp3" (for
a mp3 file) (up to 15 characters are shown on the display).
A file name contains the desired scene name which is set by the "Default Scene Name"
item and take number. For example, if you set the scene name to "Original Name" and
Take
take number is "001", the file name is "Original Name_001.wav" (for a BWF file) or "Origi-
nal Name_001.mp3" (for a mp3 file).
A file name contains the volume label (Reel number) of the CompactFlash card and the file
Reel
number. For example, if you set the reel number to "*****" and the file number is "001", the
file name is "*****_001.wav" (for a BWF file) or "*****_001.mp3" (for a mp3 file).
3) Use the [+] or [-] key to select the desired option and press the [MENU/ENTER] key.
If you select "Date" or "Reel", the display returns to the previous screen, so go to step 4) to
quit the MENU mode.
If you select "Take", the display automatically shows the screen for setting the "Default File
Name" item, so set the default file name (see "Setting the default file name" on the next
page) .
4) Press the [STOP/CANCEL] key to exit the MENU mode.
