containing double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) will not be displayed cor-
rectly, but they can be played.

current location. Indicated in terms of hours: minutes: seconds.

Channel names
This area shows up to four channel names. If you’re using one stereo channel,
this will indicate 1L and 1R. If you’re using two stereo channels, this will in-
dicate 1L, 1R, 2L, 2R.
For a monaural project, this area will show 1, 2, 3, and 4 according to the num-
ber of channels.
Output assignments
These show how the audio of each channel is assigned to the L/R output
channels. L means that the audio is assigned to the left channel, R to the right
channel, and LR to both left and right channels. Channels for which no indi-
cation appears will not be output. When you're in the main screen, you can
press the [CURSOR] up/down buttons to select the channel that you want to
monitor.
The output is sent to the PHONES jack, line output jacks, and digital output
connector.
