Precaution when overwriting files with different properties

If overwriting causes the size, number of channels, bit-rate or sampling
frequency of an audio file to be different from the previous file, inconsisten­cies could occur in the existing timeline or playlist. If such an inconsistency
occurs, the following error message will appear when you start playback.

Conduct the following to eliminate the inconsistency and stop the error mes­sage from occurring.

Timeline mode: Erase the affected region.

CAUTION

Do not overwrite an existing audio le with a le that uses a dierent sampling
frequency. The inconformity that results could become unresolvable.

Precautions when deleting files on the unit

The current take can be deleted only when the unit is stopped. Files other
than the current take can be deleted at any time.

Deleting files will cause inconsistencies between the system files and audio
files, so it is necessary to rebuild after deleting a file.

After deleting a file (and stopping if another file has been playing back or
recording), the following rebuild confirmation message will appear. Touch OK
to rebuild.
