Tascam RS-232C HD-R1 Manuale Utente

When the HD-R1 starts recording, it creates a new, 

automatically-named audio file in the currently active

folder (

Main Menu ˘ Folder

). Audio file

naming preferences are configurable (

Main Menu 

˘ Record Settings ˘ File Base 

Name

). The HD-R1 has an internal real-time clock, so 

the file will also carry its actual creation date and time.
The HD-R1 is designed to protect recorded audio  

data. If power is lost during recording, no more than  

4 seconds of audio will be lost.

Non-audio files created by the HD-R1 are small text

files that adhere to the XML (Extensible Markup

Language) standard. While this is a common file

format, it is strongly recommended that you do not 

edit or modify these files yourself. This format was

chosen for ease of troubleshooting and also so you can 

copy them, as a means of back-up.

Markers are used to quickly identify and locate 

specific points within an audio file. Pressing the

MARK

 button at any time will automatically create 

a marker at the current transport position. If the 

Shuttle Mode

 is set to 

Track/Mark Only

, 

instead of using the menu system, the 

SHUTTLE/DATA

 

wheel can be used to locate to markers. Additionally, 

there are optional settings for automatically placing 

markers at predefined intervals or at events such as

input signal overload (

Main Menu ˘ Record 

Settings ˘ Auto Markers

). Marker names 

are automatically created but can be renamed, if 

desired, and the marker times may also be modified

(

Main Menu ˘ Manage Folders/

Files ˘ Compact Flash ˘ 

{path to 

folder} 

˘ View Files ˘

˘ Edit 

Markers

). This is only accessible if the file actually

has markers. A maximum of 256 markers can be set 

within one CF Card.

The HD-R1 can use playlists to determine what to 

play. A playlist is a collection of tracks in a specified

order. A track is typically an entire audio file but may

be just a portion of an audio file.
If, during playback, the HD-R1 cannot find an audio

file that the playlist references, it will simply skip to

the next track and continue playing. When this occurs, 

a brief message will appear on the screen. This will 

happen if the user moves or deletes audio files after

the playlist has been created.

A maximum of 1023 tracks can be added to a playlist.

Newly recorded audio files are always placed in

a folder specified by the user (

Main Menu ˘ 

Folder

). This is called the active folder. By default, 

the HD-R1 creates and uses a folder named “Audio”. 

If the HD-R1’s 

Playback Mode

 is set to 

Folder 

(

Main Menu ˘ Play Settings 

˘ Playback Mode

), it will play back all files in

the currently active folder.
It is important to know that the HD-R1 is limited to 

one level of folders for audio files. Audio files that

exist in subfolders will not be visible to the HD-R1. 

Audio data is stored on the media as audio files.

These files are treated as “tracks” by this unit. For

this reason, we call these files “tracks” when we are

discussing recording and playback. When explaining 

their handling in various management operations, for 

example, we call them “files.” The important thing to

remember is that “files” and “tracks” are the same.
