4 - Recording This unit can record to SD and CF cards in the following formats. PCM recording WAV (BWF) format (44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192kHz sampling frequency, 16/24-bit) DSD recording DSDIFF, DSF formats (2.8224/5.6448MHz sampling frequency) The following explanations assume that you have loaded a recordable SD card or CF card, completed the necessary connections and turned the unit on. NOTE • The maximum numbers of folders and tracks that can be recorded by this unit on an SD card or CF card are as follows. Maximum tracks: 999 tracks per folder Maximum folders:3000 per card • When using media with a capacity of 2 GB or less, recording the maximum number of tracks or creating the maximum number of folders in the root folder as shown above might not be possible due to file system limitations. (The actual numbers depend on other conditions.) • If a write-protected SD card is loaded in the unit, recording will not be possible. (See "SD card write protection" on page 20.) • This unit cannot record directly to a USB flash drive due to system limitations. It can, however, format USB flash drives and write and erase data on them, for example. (See "Preparing SD/CF cards and USB flash drives" on page 21.) (See "5 - Folder and file operations (BROWSE screen)" on page 32.) (See "8 - Editing playlists" on page 46.) • You can copy audio files between an SD card, a CF card and a USB flash drive. For details, see "Copying files between media (backing up)" on page 50. • The largest file that this unit will create during record is 2GB. If a recording is about to exceed this size, a new file is automatically created, but the audio is processed so there is seamless continuity between the current and new file. On playback, in order to hear the audio seamlessly, please set the TRACK GAP mode setting to "GAPLESS". (See "Setting gapless playback mode" on page 41.) Unexpected power interruptions If an unexpected power interruption occurs when recording to an SD or CF card, the unit has a protection function that might prevent the complete loss of all track recording data. Data recorded up to about 25 seconds before the interruption occurs is saved. CAUTION • Even with this protection function, due to the character- istics of SD cards, CF cards and USB flash drives, if the unit is writing to the system area when the power is interrupted or the media is removed from the unit, all the files on the media could be damaged or lost. For this reason, you should try as much as possible to avoid power interruptions during recording and playback. • This function was not created for the purpose of use with an external timer, for example, turning off the power. Selecting the input source Set the input source (recording source) to one of 6 types of input (balanced analog, unbalanced analog, PCM-SPDIF digital, PCM-AES/EBU digital, DSD-SDIF-3 digital, DSD-DSD-raw digital). Follow the procedures below to select the input source. NOTE • You cannot change the input source when recording. 1.
