Re-Formatting the Current Drive or Newly Formatting the Backup Drive

Follow procedures below to re-format the current drive or newly format the E-IDE hard disk for backup.

<Note>

You cannot use the recorder to format a back-up E-IDE hard disk for saving and loading WAV files. First, format the disk for WAV files using a computer (PC/AT).

1.Turn on the power to the recorder.

The recorder starts with an indication of the beginning (Timebase: ABS 0) of the program that was selected before the power was turned off.

Even if a back-up E-IDE hard disk is installed, the current drive starts up when the power is turned on.

2.Press the [SETUP] key to put the recorder into Setup mode.

3.Use the [JOG] dial to select “Disk Format ?” and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

“IDE1” flashes in the same way mentioned in “Formatting a new disk.”
