Model D2424 Reference Manual (Changing the Initial Settings <SETUP mode>)

Drive Setting (“Drive Sel?” menu)

In D2424, in addition to the current drive (E-IDE hard disk) for recording/playback/editing, by installing the optional Model 9044 (BAY+CADDY), an E-IDE hard disk (or optional Model 9046 DVD-RAM drive), and furthermore, a SCSI drive for backup use can be connected and used.

In the "Drive setup" menu, these drives can be selected in accordance to the use. This is especially convenient to check the song data saved in the backup drive. Even though a multiple number of drives are used, the D2424 will normally start up from the current drive by re-switching on the power.

<Note>

By switching the drive setting to "SCSI" or "IDE2," the saved song data can be confirmed by playing it back. Since this playback is only to the extent of confirming the saved data, it could create drop outs if 24 channels are played back, and in some SCSI equipment, channels that can be played back could be changed.

The following operations cannot be executed when the drive is switched to “backup drive.”

* Save/load of song data * Setup of rhythm		* Recording	* Creating a new program	* Deleting a program
* Copy & paste and Move & paste	* Erase	* Track exchange	* Multiple undo * Setup of tempo
* ON/OFF of metronome function	* Setup of permission or denial of recording

If power to this recorder is switched again, the drive will automatically switch to current drive (E-IDE).

In order to take out the removable disk when set to backup drive, press the [EXIT/NO] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key.
