8 RECORDING
2 Pay attention to the remaining time when recording on a partially recorded card. We recommend backing up the partially recorded card
beforehand using a PC system (not included), etc.
2 If you wish to record on an already recorded card from which you will erase unnecessary files, erase the unnecessary files first. (See pages
25 and 26.)
Starting recording
The DN-F20R offers two types of recording onto IC memory cards: normal (relay: 1/2 or 2/1) recording and double (1 & 2) recording. Set the
card recording mode beforehand in the preset mode.
2 Normal (relay: 1/ / 2 or 2/ / 1) recording
This is the normal recording mode. The sound is recorded onto either the card in slot 1 or the one in slot 2. When the end of the recordable
time on the card in slot 1 is reached during recording and a card is loaded in slot 2, recording continues (relays) on the card in slot 2.
For relay recording, load the card in the other slot at least 30 seconds before the recordable time on the card currently being recorded is
up. If the next card is loaded when there is little recordable time remaining on the card currently being recorded, the set may not have
enough time to check the card, in which case recording will not be relayed and the stop mode will be set.
If recording is not possible on the card in the next slot, recording stops once the recordable time on the card currently being recorded is
up. Recording is not possible if there is no remaining recordable time on the card or if the card already contains the maximum number of
files. A message is displayed in the dot matrix section if recording is not possible.
Relay recording is only possible in the same directories on the cards in slots 1 and 2. Relay recording is not possible if that directory on
the card in the next slot already contains the maximum number of files.
2 Double (1 & 2) recording
In this mode, the cards in slots 1 and 2 are recorded simultaneously. Use this mode to make backups of audio files as you record.
If audio files are already recorded on one of the cards, recording stops once that card is full.
When the recording mode is set to double (1 & 2) recording, recording is performed with the same file names in the same directories of
the cards in slots 1 and 2. Recording will not start unless recordable cards are loaded in both slots. To record on one card only, preset the
recording mode to normal recording.
With double recording, the cards are accessed at high speed, so be sure to use recommended IC memory cards of the same make, the
same model (capacity) and the same cluster size (even when the cluster size has been changed on a PC, etc.).
As long as the cards' manufacturer and cluster size are the same, recording may be possible even if the models (capacities) are different.
If recording is not possible, either recording will stop or an error message will be displayed when recording starts.
