<Important!>
• When you create a new Program by selecting the [New PGM ?]
menu, a new Program is created with an increment number.
That is, if only one Program exists and when you create a new
Program, it will be named Program 2.
If Programs 1-5 already exist, a new Program number will be 6.
• If there is insufficient recording space on the disk, you cannot
create the new Program. Each time you create a new Program,
the recordable area on the disk will decrease.
Using a Program Change function
If multiple Programs exist on the disk, you need to select a Program to record, play, or edit. This section describes
how to select a Program.
Note: You cannot use the Program Change function when the
FD-8 is in SETUP mode.

Program as mentioned in the previous section “Creating

to 16 characters, nine of which will appear on the display.
• To move the flashing cursor, press the HOLD/> key,

button is the most convenient.

([#0001] is the default name of PGM 01.)
