In the initial setting, "On" will flash and if the Jog dial is rotated in this state, either "On" or "Off" can be selected. Normally, format is executed with mul- tiple undo set to "On" but if the current drive ca- pacity is small and you wish to limit consumption of the hard disk, it must be set to "Off."

The size of unformatted area on the hard disk appears on the display, and counts down as the formatting progresses.

It will take a while to complete formatting, especially if you are formatting a large-capacity disk.

Upon completion of formatting, "COMPLETED!" will be lit and the effective hard disk capacity as a result of formatting will be indicated.

The display below is an example at formatting in "48kHz/24 bit," and the number of effective tracks after formatting will be indicated as 24.
