4.Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key again.

The backup format will be displayed.

Depending on quantization of the current drive, either "24 bit Backup?" or "16 bit Backup?" will be shown.

<Bit resolution>

The same figures in quantization of the current drive will be displayed for quantization of the backup for- mat. Thus, when the current drive is 24bit, “24bit Backup?” will be displayed, and for 16bit, “16bit Backup?” will be displayed.

5.Press and hold down the [RECORD] button and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The recorder starts the backup format operation. During the format operation, “REMAIN” lights up on the screen and the recorder indicates the size of the unformatted area on the disk, which counts down as the format operation proceeds. Wait until formatting is complete. When the format operation is complete, “COMPLETED !” lights up and the disk stops spinning.

exit Setup mode.

The recorder displays the time base value of the current drive that was shown before the unit entered Setup mode.

To eject the disk from the backup drive, press the [EJECT] button on the drive.

Optimizing the disk

If you are using a disk that was formatted with the Multiple Undo function turned on, free disk space becomes smaller quickly because the disk always keeps the Multiple Undo files. Optimizing such a disk (using the “Disk Optimize?” menu in Setup mode) will increase free block space.

<Note>

After you record multiple takes, if you optimize the disk (with the Multiple Undo function turned on), you will be able to undo only the most recent take. Therefore, if you wish to keep some takes, perform the Multiple Undo function or use the Program duplicate function to restore the take, then optimize the disk. For more information, see “Multiple Undo Function” on page 64.

1.While the disk is not being accessed, press the [SETUP] key to put the unit into Setup mode.

2.Turn the [JOG] dial to select the “Disk Optimize?” menu and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.

The recorder displays the following indication and “SURE ?” flashes.
