Also shown are the Track’s sample rate and word length. If you are creating a new Track and have not
recorded any audio yet, these icons will not be lit. Once audio has been recorded into a Track, the
sample rate and word length icons will reflect the recorded sample rate and word length, which can
vary from Track to Track in a playlist, based on the settings that have been selected for sample rate and
word length (see Chapter 3: HD Mode Operation).

press the TIME DISPLAY button, which will toggle through Single, Single Remaining, Total, and Total
Remaining modes. Single mode reflects the elapsed time within a single Track, while Single

entire playlist, and Total Remaining mode indicates remaining time in the playlist.

there is no CD in the drive, these icons will not be lit.
The HD Free Space counter indicates the amount of recording time left on the hard disk, expressed in
hours, minutes (if the time remaining is less than one hour), or seconds (if the time remaining is less
The HD Free Space counter indicates the amount of recording time left on the hard disk, expressed in

also change during recording, as more space on the disk is used for audio.
