Selecting An Audio File; Selecting A File Using The File Select Function; Selecting A File Using The Skip Function - Fostex DV40 Operation Manual

Selecting an audio file

You can select an audio file by using the file select or skip function.
Tips:
By using the "File Sort?" menu in the Setup mode, you can sort audio files by name or date, allowing file
selection easier. See "Chapter 11: Setup mode" for details.

• Selecting a file using the file select function

The following assumes that three "BWF" and two "SDII" files are created on a disk and the "BWF
01" file is currently selected.
1. Select a desired audio file format between "BWF" and "SDII" using the [AUDIO FILE] switch.
If you select "SDII", "SDII" is lit instead of "BWF" in the FORMAT information area on the display.
2. Press the [FILE SEL] key.
"01", the audio file number of the selected file format in step 1, flashes on the display, showing that a file
number can be selected.

3. Use the jog dial or |<</>>| keys to select a desired file number, and press the [ENTER/YES] key.
The display shows the "ABS 0" time (the beginning of the file) of the selected audio file.
Tips:
By pressing the [FILE SEL] key after pressing the [SHIFT] key (to turn on the indicator), you can select
audio files from among both the file directories ("bwff" and "sd2f").

• Selecting a file using the skip function

You can select an audio file using the [SKIP/CURSOR] (|<</>>|) keys by setting the "Skip Mode?"
menu in the Setup mode to "File". "File" is the initial setting, therefore, as long as you keep this
setting, you can carry out the file selection using the skip function.
If the "Skip Mode?" menu is set to "CUE" or "MEM", change the option to "File".
See "Chapter 11: Setup mode" for details about how to set the "Skip Mode?" menu.
<Note>
Using the skip function, you can select an audio file among those in the same directory ("bwff" or "sd2f").
1. While stopped, press the [SKIP/CURSOR] |<< or >>| key.
Pressing the [|<<] key skips to the beginning of the previous audio file, while pressing the [>>|] key skips to
the beginning of the next audio file.
You can skip to the beginning of a desired file by pressing [|<<] or [>>|] key repeatedly as many times as
required.
When the file is skipped, the display shows the "ABS 0" time (the beginning of the file) of the selected audio
file, as shown in the examples below. where *********** shows a file name.
