Monophonic WAV File Track Number Designators

When recording monophonic Broadcast WAV fi les each track is recorded in a separate data fi le. To
help identify each track, each fi lename incorporates an underscore and track number suffi x. The fi le
of the fi rst track recorded has "_1" appended to it. The fi le name suffi x, _1, _2, _3, _4, _5, _6, _7, _8,
_9, _A, _B, and _C always corresponds to tracks L, R, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, X1, X2 . For instance, if
track D is the only track recorded, fi le name suffi x will be _6.

Duplicate File Names

When the 788T detects that a duplicate fi le name is going to be generated in any specifi c folder, the
788T changes the fi le name by adding of a letter suffi x before the extension. For instance, if take
numbers are reset but fi les are recorded to the same directory as previous fi les, a suffi x "A" is added
to the fi le. If additional duplicate fi les are generated the letter suffi x increments, to B, C, etc.
