When the HD-R1 starts recording, it creates a new,
automatically-namedaudioleinthecurrentlyactive
folder (

). The HD-R1 has an internal real-time clock, so
thelewillalsocarryitsactualcreationdateandtime.
The HD-R1 is designed to protect recorded audio
data. If power is lost during recording, no more than
4 seconds of audio will be lost.

format, it is strongly recommended that you do not
editormodifytheselesyourself.Thisformatwas
chosen for ease of troubleshooting and also so you can
copy them, as a means of back-up.
Markers are used to quickly identify and locate
specicpointswithinanaudiole.Pressingthe
MARK button at any time will automatically create
a marker at the current transport position. If the
Shuttle Mode
is set to
Track/Mark Only
,
instead of using the menu system, the SHUTTLE/DATA
wheel can be used to locate to markers. Additionally,
there are optional settings for automatically placing
markersatpredenedintervalsorateventssuchas
input signal overload (

are automatically created but can be renamed, if

within one CF Card.
The HD-R1 can use playlists to determine what to
play.Aplaylistisacollectionoftracksinaspecied

If,duringplayback,theHD-R1cannotndanaudio

the next track and continue playing. When this occurs,
a brief message will appear on the screen. This will
happeniftheusermovesordeletesaudiolesafter
the playlist has been created.
A maximum of 1023 tracks can be added to a playlist.
Newlyrecordedaudiolesarealwaysplacedin
afolderspeciedbytheuser(
Main Menu ˘
Folder
). This is called the active folder. By default,
the HD-R1 creates and uses a folder named “Audio”.
If the HD-R1’s
Playback Mode
is set to
Folder
(

),itwillplaybackalllesin

It is important to know that the HD-R1 is limited to
