Routing Inputs to Tracks

Before recording, inputs must be assigned to tracks. Each of the 722’s two inputs can be assigned to

the two tracks (A, B). Sixteen possible routing combinations are shown on the front panel with four

blue LEDs. Illuminated LEDs indicate input-to-track assignment.

1. Press and hold the STOP key then press the INPUT key to cycle through factory routing pre-

sets. The 722 has four often-used presets for quick setup of input-to-track routing combinations. Note

the routing combinations on the blue LEDs with each successive press.

2. If none of the preset routing combinations are suitable, assign a custom routing. Sequential presses of

the input key will eventually cycle to the custom routing option (see Input to Track Routing, pg. 18).

From the custom input routing menu any input can be assigned to any track, including multiple inputs

assigned to a single track.

3. Press Exit to leave input routing mode.

If no input is assigned to a track the 722 will not record.

Recording Parameter Setup

For most productions, the general recording parameters of sample rate, bit depth, media selection,

and ﬁle format are changed infrequently. Enter the setup menu to verify recording settings. Sample

rate and bit depth are displayed on the LCD panel.

1. Select the bit depth as needed.

2. Set the sample rate as needed.

3. Select the ﬁle type, WAV mono or WAV poly, FLAC, MP2, or MP3.

4. Select the storage medium (internal hard drive, CompactFlash, external drive, or any combination of the

three) for recording.

Recording

Now that ﬁle basics are set, you are ready to begin recording. The 722 is a record-priority box. Press-

ing the record key cancels all functions—except ﬁle operations—and immediately starts recording

a new ﬁle. When record is pressed, the red record LED illuminates to conﬁrm record mode. The

ﬁlename in the LCD display shows the currently recorded ﬁle. Push the stop (150 ms) key to

end recording.

Playback

When recording is stopped, the most recently recorded ﬁle is immediately available for playback.

Press the key to begin ﬁle playback from the beginning of the ﬁle.

To select a ﬁle for playback:

1. Press and hold the key to select the folder (directory) for playback, either internal hard drive or

Compact Flash. The default playback directory is the volume being recorded.

2. Use the Rotary Switch, or the arrow soft-keys, to navigate through the ﬁle directory.

3. Once a ﬁle is highlighted, press the play key to begin playback.

When playback has ﬁnished, the ﬁlename will begin ﬂashing. Use the fast-forward key or

rewind key to step through ﬁles in the folder, or press the stop key to exit playback mode.
