Model D2424 Reference Manual (Saving and Loading Song Data)

"Title" & "###MB" display

In this instance, the selected WAV file on the backup disk is deleted and there is now enough capacity to make a WAV file. Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key and "DEL" (delete of WAV file) will be displayed, and when [EXECUTE/YES] key is pressed again, it will go to Step 7 for deleting the selected WAV file on the backup disk. After save, the selected WAV file will be replaced as the new file and recorded on the disk.

"Title" & "-###MB" display

The disk is short of capacity by the amount of “-###” to be able to make a WAV file although the selected WAV file on the backup disk is deleted. If the [EXECUTE/YES] key is pressed, after display of "Disk Full", "Delete All WAV?" is displayed, and when the [EXECUTE/YES] key is pressed again, it will go to Step 7 for deleting all WAV files on the backup disk. After save, only saved WAV files will be recorded.

< Notes>

•If you attempt to save a WAV file with the same file name as one already existing on the backup disk, "Already Exist" (Same file name already exists) is displayed and save will not be executed. In this case, change the WAV file name by the previous Step 7.

•In a disk which had been repeatedly saved by overwriting, access speed could be lowered due to file fragmentation. We recommend that you use a disk immediately after formatting for backup purposes.

•In a save requiring a multiple number of backup disks, if the backup disc already saved with programs is used, "Delete All WAV?" (Delete of all WAV files) will be displayed due to "Disk Full" and all WAV files will be deleted. For save on multiple number of disks, we recommend that you use a disk immediately after formatting.

•When files and folders other than file names

“******##.WAV” which can be acknowledged by this recorder are made on the backup disk by using a computer, in some cases save cannot be completed as it cannot calculate the accurate remaining capacity of the backup disk. Great care should be taken when changing file names and making folders by a computer.

Loading WAV files

WAV files will be loaded. Prior to this, make sure the backup disk is connected to the SCSI ID6 equipment. The following explains how to use a backup disk in which WAV files were saved by this unit. Loading from the E-IDE hard disk for backup (or the optional DVD-RAM drive) is possible by the same procedure.

1.Enter the SETUP mode by pressing the [SETUP] key.

2.Select “Load PGM?” (“?” flashes) with the [JOG] dial and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The currently set content will be displayed (flashing).

4.Select the WAV file to be loaded with the [JOG] dial.

If a multiple number of WAV files with different file names (Beginning 6 letters) have been saved, the WAV file names (beginning 6 letters) and capacity will be sequentially displayed. If "Eject" is selected, the backup disc can be removed.

<Note>

File names other than “******##.WAV” cannot be acknowledged nor loaded by this recorder. WAV files with the beginning 6 letters of the file name will be individually acknowledged and can be selected.
