Messages
This is the area for messages, such as “LOW BATTERY”, CARD FULL, NO CARD, etc.
A beep in the headphones corresponds to an arrival of a message on the display.
Battery status
When the battery icon shows full, it indicates the batteries are fully charged. Full corresponds to a
voltage measurement of 6.28V or higher. Each step corresponds to 0.256V. When the voltage drops
below 5V, a warning beep is heard in the headphones and the message “LOW BATTERY” appears in
the display. When the voltage drops below 4.5V the machine automatically switches off. Fully charged
Ni Metal Hydride batteries of 1300 mAh capacity will power the recorder for approximately 3 hours and
15 minutes.
Level Adjustment
This bargraph only appears on the screen during the adjustment of the input sensitivity, the output
level or the ALC threshold adjustment. If no adjustment is made it will disappear after a few seconds.
Simultaneously, the level setting in dB’s as well as the kind of adjustment “IN”, “OUT” or “THR” will
appear on the display.
10 RECORD (2, 2bis), REWIND (3), STOP (4), PLAY (5), FORWARD (6) KEYS
10.1 RECORD KEY (2, 2bis)
For ARES-P or RCX220 mode.
A valid formatted card must be fitted and the machine switched ON. To start recording, the “RECORD”
key (2) or (2bis) can be pressed, even if the machine was in “PLAY” mode or is in one of the sub-
menus. The “RECORD” keys will not work if the machine is deleting a take or formatting the card.
If during record the “RECORD” key is pressed again, a new take is automatically created. This
function is used for “MARKING” the audio during record.
For ARES-P II mode .
In addition to the above mentioned functions, the same button can be used for adding markers during
record or playback, inside a single file. This depends on the settings made in the “SIDE KEY” sub
menu.
During record, the front LED as well as the red LED on the keyboard turn ON.
During record, the “POWER” key is disabled.
10.2 REWIND KEY (3) AND FORWARD KEY (6)
These keys have two functions called “SKIP” backwards or forwards and “REWIND” or “FORWARD”.
SKIP.
For ARES-P or RCX220 mode.
In “STOP” mode: To jump take-by-take, pressing briefly on the “<<” or “>>” keys will decrement or
increment the take position.
In “PLAY” mode: To jump to other takes on the card, press twice in quick succession the “<<” or “>>”
to decrement or increment the take number.
IMPORTANT: Only takes with the same compression as the current settings of the machine can be
played back using the SKIP buttons. All other takes with a different compression cannot be selected.
For ARES-P II mode.
If the recording contains “markers” then these keys will jump to the next (or previous) marker position.
