Track recording
Track assignment
Here, after completing the first track recording, we record the next track while playing back the already
recorded audio file. The preparation is almost identical to the first one, but we will conduct playback on
a different track.

NOTE
• Recorded audio files on tracks will be overwritten
by new recording. If you rewind the counter to
the top and begin recording again, be aware that
the overwritten previous recording will be lost.
• During playback the file assigned to the track is
played.
• If you want to record to a new file, do not assign
any file to a track.
• When you move a file on a track, confirm that no
files are assigned to the track to be recorded
("NOT ASSIGN"). If there is any assigned file, that
recording will be overwritten by new recording.
Menu
• Files exclusively for reading (read only) are shown
with <R.0> on the display, and you cannot record
over them if they are assigned to tracks.
• Files marked with an asterisk (*) cannot be
assigned to the selected track.
