•  While setting the clock, you can select the item to 

be set (year, month, date, etc.) by moving the jog 
lever toward FF/FR.

•  If you connect the recorder to a computer and 

activate SonicStage, the clock on the recorder will 
be automatically set to match the computer’s clock 
(only when the operation mode of the recorder is 
“Hi-MD mode”).

•  Make sure the time is correctly set if you want 

the time stamp to be accurately recorded for an 
important recording.

•  Under normal conditions, the clock may vary by 

about plus or minus 3 minutes per month.

•  Transferred tracks will not include recorded date 

information even when the clock is set.

•  When the computer changes to system suspend, 

sleep, or hibernation mode while the recorder 
is connected, power (bus power) supply to the 
recorder stops. Therefore, if the rechargeable 
battery is either depleted or it is not inserted in the 
recorder, the clock setting of the recorder will be 
lost.
