Editing a Volume Label

The “Volume Label” is name which is used to iden- tify a disk. It is normally named when formatting a disk. As mentioned in the DV40 owner’s manual page 1-5, the default name of Volume Label to be attached to the DVD-RAM disk is “DV40-DVD”.

This menu allows you to edit the volume label of a DVD-RAM disk and rename it.

This menu is global and the setting is maintained after you turn off the power.

Tips:

By entering a volume label in the following for- mat, the unit can recognize it as a Reel number. If you set the "TC UBIT Sel?" menu in the TC Setup mode to "SRNo" (Scene number/Reel number), you can output the Reel number in the lower three digits of the User Bits.

Example: ******-XXX

******: Volume name

XXX: a three-digit numeral between 000 through 999. It must end with a Null character. The unit recognizes a three-digit ASCII BCD that follows to "-" as a Reel number.

A Windows 98/NT computer supports up to 10 characters for a volume label, while a Macintosh computer supports up to 27 characters and UDF format supports up to 127 characters.

To maintain the compatibility among comput- ers, we recommend to set a volume label within 10 characters.

<Note>

You can also set a Reel number in the "Set SCENE

&REEL?" menu described later.

Therefore, if you edit a Volume label with the for- mat above so that the unit can recognize it as a Reel number, the Reel number is automatically rewritten.

<CAUTION>

•Due to the limitation of the number of alphanumeric characters used for VOLUME LABEL recognized on Windows OS, using up to 10 alphanumeric characters including the 3-digit REEL NUMBER are recommended.

•The REEL NUMBER XXX is just a character string. Please remember that it does not roll over to the next digit or roll back to the previous digit.
