722 User Guide and Technical Information

24-Hour Time Counter

By default, the 24-Hour Time Counter is displayed below the big A-Time. The position of the

A-time and the 24-hour time counter numbers can be exchanged in the Setup Menu option

Time Counter: Display. When Big 24h time is selected, the 24-Hour Time Counter value is

displayed in the main numeric display. If Time Counter Mode is turned off, A-time is shown as large

numbers, even with Big 24h time is set.

Record Pause is not available when set to 24-Hour Time Counter Mode.

Recording

The user interface of the product has been designed similar to a “tape recorder”. Recording and play-

back functions are quite similar to that of tape-based machines. The ﬂexibility of ﬁle-based recording

provides control not possible with tape-based recorders.

Recording

The largest, most easily accessed control on the 722 is the record key. Recording takes

priority over all activity except for disk formatting, disk speed tests, and ﬁle transfers. The 722 will

immediately enter record mode when the record key is pressed. When recording, the adjacent red

LED will illuminate to indicate that the unit is in record mode.

In the event that the system is not ready to begin a new ﬁle, the recorder will enter standby mode.

“REC Pending” will appear in the File Name ﬁeld of the LCD display and the adjacent red LED will

ﬂash. The 722 will immediately begin recording as soon all selected media is ready.

If no inputs are routed to tracks, recording cannot take place. Make certain that at least one record track is

assigned for recording.

Recording integrity is further enhanced through a process of periodic, automatic ﬁle directory and

header updates written to disk during recording. This ensures ﬁle integrity in the unlikely event of a

total loss of power.

The auto save feature does not apply to MP3 or FLAC recordings. If power is lost while recording to these

formats the recordings maybe invalid.

While recording, the power, ff, rew, input, tone, and drive keys are disabled. Recording is stopped by

pressing and holding the STOP key. The Stop key must be held for 150 ms or greater to end record-

ing. Although the setup menu can be viewed during recording, menu items affecting recording are

lined out in the menu list.
