* How to switch the current card when inserting a card to the other slot

While a card is inserted in either of the card slots, you can insert another card to the unused card slot and switch the current card.

Assuming that a CFC is currently loaded, the procedure below shows how to switch the current card from "CFC" to "PCMCIA" after inserting an ATA.

1)While the recorder is stopped, insert an ATA to the PCMCIA slot.

The screen as shown below appears, asking whether loading the inserted ATA or not.

2)While "[YES]" is highlighted, press the [ENTER] key.

Pressing the [ENTER] key releases the current card (CFC, in this case) and starts loading the newly inserted card (ATA, in this case).

This operation automatically switches the setting of the "Select" menu item (on the "Disk" menu in the MENU mode) from "CFC" to "PCMCIA".

While memory cards of both types are inserted to the appropriate slots and the unit is turned on, you can select the current card using the "Select" menu item on the "Disk" menu in the MENU mode. See "Selecting the current memory card" on page 74 for details.

<Notes on the current card>

If a card is inserted in either one of the card slots when turning on the unit, the unit automatically recognizes the inserted card as the current card, and ap propriately set the "Select" menu item on the "Disk" menu in the MENU mode. For example, if you insert only an ATA and turn on the unit while the "Select" item is initially set to "CFC", the "Select" setting is automatically switched to "PCMCIA".

If both CFC and ATA are inserted in the appropriate card slots when turning on the unit, the current card is selected according to the "Select" setting (by default, it is set to "CFC").

For example, if both CFC and ATA are inserted in the appropriate card slots and the "Select" item is set to "PCMCIA" when turning on the unit, the ATA is automatically loaded as the current card.
