Notes on using two current drives

In addition to using an E-IDE hard disk or a SCSI drive as the sole current drive, you may also use an E-IDE hard disk installed in the VR800 along with a SCSI drive connected to the unit.

However, note the following points when you use two current drives.

<Note>

You cannot switch between two current drives after the VR800 is turned on. If you are using only one current drive, turning on the power to the VR800 will automatically start the drive. However, if you are using an E-IDE hard disk and an external SCSI device simultaneously, turning on the power to the VR800 will use the SCSI device connected to the SCSI terminal as the current drive. If you wish to use the E-IDE hard disk as the current drive, turn off the power to the SCSI device BEFORE you turn on the power to the VR800 or disconnect the SCSI connection.

You can check the display to see which drive is currently used after you turn on the power to the VR800. (Refer to the figure below.) Make sure that you are using the correct current drive for formatting or real-time recording, playback, or edit.
