Display
The following describes details about the LCD display, including screen contents and opera-
tion.
Home screen
When turning on the MR-8 while a formatted
CompactFlash card is set, the display shows the
startup screen (showing the startup status of the
MR-8), followed by the "home" screen, which is
similar to the one below. In this condition, the
previously loaded song (or the demo song when
you first use the MR-8 with the supplied card) is
loaded and the recorder is located at the begin-
ning of the song.
The home screen includes the following infor-
mation.
1. Time counter display
Time information of the current recorder posi-
tion is shown in the selected time base (ABS, Bar/
Beat or time counter). Using the [TIME BASE SE-
LECT] key, you can select a desired time base.
When the recorder is moving (playing back, fast
forwarding, etc.), the appropriate icon is also
shown.
2. Character display
Normally, the name of the song currently loaded
is shown (up to 14 characters can be shown at a
time). It also shows following information.
• a name of the operation currently being
executed (such as “BOUNCE 1-6>7/8”).
• a warning message (such as "Low Battery!")
as a flashing display.
• The "Remain" time when at least one track
is armed (i.e. at least one of the
[REC SELECT] keys is active). The remain
time shows how much time you can
further record audio data onto a mono track
using the available space left on the
current card.
3. Track level display
The recording or playback levels of tracks 1
through 8 are shown. The track number of an
armed track is shown in reverse.
Tracks 5 and 6 are armed.

During recording or playback, the output levels
of the stereo buss (L and R) are shown.

appropriate modes (functions) are active.

input monitor mode (see page 32).
