perform additional recording or editing, or to erase the
song.

In the COUNTER DISPLAY area, use the following
buttons to select the display format for the counter that

minutes/seconds/milliseconds, with the

•T.C............ Display the current location in time code
(hours/minutes/seconds/frames), with
the Start point as 0.
• REMAIN... When this button is on, the remaining
recordable time with the selected num-
ber of recording tracks will be displayed
instead of the current location.

In the TIME CODE BASE area you can choose one of
the following frame rates to specify the minimum unit
of time code.

Editing various settings for the song
• These settings apply only to the current song. Before you perform this proce-
dure, load the song whose settings you want to edit.
• The counter display mode (with the exception of REMAIN) and timecode frame
rate changes will be saved with the song data when the song is saved.

•We recommend that you turn protect on for important songs.
•Even if protect is on, you can still copy the song (
→
p. 147)
and adjust the mixer settings.
HINT
• The counter in the upper right of the display always shows the
current location in measure/beat units, relative to the Start
point.
• The measure/beat display will depend on the settings in the
TEMPO page of the SONG screen. For details, refer to “Cre-
ating a tempo map” (
→
p. 149).
NOTE
• This setting affects both the counter time code display and the
MTC that the AW1600 transmits and receives. If the AW1600
is sending or receiving MTC to or from an external device, you
must set both devices to the same frame rate.
HINT
• With the exception of COUNTER DISPLAY, the settings in the
SETUP page of the SONG screen cannot be changed while
the AW1600 is running.
