Chapter 3: Names and Functions
18. [CIRCLE TAKE / FALSE START] key
This key has primary (unSHIFTed) and secondary (SHIFTed) functions.
• When unSHIFTed:
Adds "@" to the beginning of the name of the current audio file. If the
name of the current audio file already has "@" at the beginning, pressing
this key deletes "@" (see page 128).
• When SHIFTed:
Pressing this key after making recording cancels the recording (False
start function) (see page 88). You can select whether the canceled file is
stored to or deleted from the disk (or partition) using the "False start"
item in the "SYS SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 158).
20. [PAUSE] key/indicator (green)
Pressing this key enters the recorder to the standby mode and lights up
the indicator. Only this key can stop recording.
You cannot stop recording with any other key. You can set the pause
release time using the "Pause time" menu in the SYS SETUP menu of the
MENU mode (see page 152).

19. Slate microphone
This internal slate microphone is active while you slide and hold the
[SLATE] switch knob to the "MIC" position. The protection circuit (AGC)
is provided for protecting against excessive input (see page 91).
<Note>:
The time code recorded is conformed to the setting done
by the quick setup mode or the "TC GEN" item in the "TC SETUP"
menu of the MENU mode. See pages 76 and 183 for details about
the "TC GEN" item.
21. [REC] key/indicator (red)
Pulling this key to the right starts recording.
Depending on the "PRE REC mode" setting (on or off), it works as follows.
• When recording with the PRE REC mode set to "OFF":
By pulling this key, the PD606 automatically creates a new file to the
current disk (or a partition) and starts recording audio and time code.
It also records the offset between time code and ABS one second after
recording starts.
• When recording with the PRE REC mode set to "ON":
Pulling this key starts recording from the audio data stored in the buffer.
The offset between the time code and ABS time values after a second
from the beginning of recording is also recorded.
You can select the buffered time between 1 and 10 seconds using the
"Pre rec time" menu item in the SYS SETUP menu of the MENU mode (the
default setting is 10 seconds) (see page 154).
