Mark function

Adding marks manually to a recording

You can manually add marks to a recording where you
want them.
Press the MARK button while recording to add a
mark.
Mark number pull-up appears.
NOTE
• Mark information is stored in the file with numbers
between 01–99. The maximum number of marks in a
file is 99.
• As the unit is compatible with the BWF format for WAV
files, marks added to a WAV file during recording are
stored in the file. Marks stored in the file are available
when playing back the file using a BWF compliant
software, etc.
Adding marks automatically to a
recording
This function allows the unit to add marks
automatically using AUTO REC.
Set the MODE to MARK on the AUTO REC setting.
See "Recording automatically (AUTO REC)" on page

when paused and during playback.
You can use this function to identify points to create
shortcuts to the beginning of songs, for example.
Press the . or / button while pressing and
holding the MARK button during playback or
