3.Use the JOG dial to select the desired Program.

You can select [01] or [02] if only one Program exists on the disk.

If you select [02], [PGM] and [New] flash alternately. This means that you can set up a new Program. If you do not wish to lead data to Program 1, select [02] to automatically create a new Program 2 on the disk, and Program 2 will be selected as the destination. (In the same way, if Programs 1–4 exist and you select [05], [New] flashes. That is, if you select the next largest Program number, [New] flashes.)

4.Press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The FD-4 displays the track selection for the load operation, and [4] flashes. The next step allows you to select whether you wish to save tracks 1–4 or 1–6. (The following figure indicates tracks 1–4.)

Rotating the JOG dial causes [4] and [6] to flash alternately. In this example, select [6] to load data on all tracks, including the Additional tracks.

If you select [4], data from tracks 1–4 will be loaded.

6.Press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The load destination Program and track data to be loaded will be confirmed. The FD-4 displays an illuminated DIGITAL indicator and a flashing [SURE ?] message.

A flashing DIGITAL indicates that the FD-4 is not receiving digital signals from the DAT correctly. Check the DAT setting and cable connections.
