About REMAIN display
You can check the remaining (recordable) time/space by selecting the appropriate display using the
[DISP TIME] key. The unit can show the remaining time and space that can be used for "Normal mode"
files, regardless of whether the disk is formatted in the "Normal" or "Tape" mode.
• If a disk is formatted in the Normal mode
1. While a disk is stopped and the display shows "No Audio Files!", press the [DISP TIME] key three
times.
The display shows the "FreeArea" screen, in which the recordable space (in MB) and time (in hours/minutes/
seconds) for files with the current [TRACK MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switch settings are shown.
The screen example on the right below shows the recordable time and space when the disk is formatted with the
[TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switch settings to "MONO" and "44.1 kHz/24 bit" respectively.
2. Press the [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switches as desired.
By changing the [TRACK MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switch settings, you can check the recordable space and
time according to the current switch settings.
The screen examples below shows the values in two cases when the [TR MODE] switch is set to "STEREO" and
"MULTI (4TR)" while the [SAMPLING FREQ] switch is fixed to "44.1 kHz/24 bit".
TR MODE -> "STEREO"
TR MODE -> "MULTI (4TR)"

<Tips>
The recordable space of each “Tape mode” file is fixed to approximately 2.0 GB, which is not included in the Free
Area, as shown above. You can see the maximum recordable time of the “Tape mode” audio file by following the
operation below.
• While a disk is stopped, press the [F FWD] key while holding down the [STOP] key.
The current position moves to the end of the “tape”, and the maximum recordable time of a “Tape mode” file, with
the track mode and sampling frequency/bit length selected by the [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switches
when formatted, is shown on the display.
You can calculate the remaining time of a “tape mode” file by subtracting the elapsed time from the maximum
recordable time.
• If a disk is formatted in the Tape mode
1. While the "Tape mode" audio file is selected, press the [DISP TIME] key three times.
The display shows the “FreeArea” screen, as with a disk formatted in the Normal mode. In this screen, the
recordable space (in MB) and time (in hours/minutes/seconds) for “Normal mode” files, with the same track mode
and sampling frequency/bit length settings as when the disk is formatted, are shown. In other words, the
recordable space shown here is the value calculated by subtracting 4.0 GB from all recordable space of the disk.
The screen example on the right below shows the values when the disk is formatted by setting the [TR MODE] and
[SAMPLING FREQ] switches to “MONO” and “48kHz/24bit” respectively.
The recording time in mono is 47 minutes 30 seconds, while the available space is 0.4 GB.
Note that, with a disk formatted in the Tape mode, if you change the settings of the [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING
FREQ] switches, the values on the display may not be changed.
