Fostex DV40 manual Reformatting a DVD-RAM disk, Press the ENTER/YES key again

Reformatting a DVD-RAM disk

The following describes how to reformat a used disk, while chapter 1 describes how to format a new disk. We assume that a used DVD-RAM disk is inserted in the tray and stopped.

<Note for reformatting a disk in the Tape mode>

Before reformatting a used disk in the Tape mode, set the [AUDIO FILE], [SAMPLING FREQ] and [TR MODE] switches on the front panel appropriately, which determine the behavior of the newly cre- ated "Tape mode" file.

<Note>

Memory point data still remain after reformatting a disk.

Therefore, if you do not need the old memory point data, delete them using the delete function. See "Chapter 6: Editing/storing time data" for details about how to delete memory point data.

<Note>

•Before reformatting, make sure that the DVD-RAM disk is not write-protected.

•If you use an used DVD-RAM disk, we recommended to format the disk by a computer first, then format it by the DV40.

1.While stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the indicator.

2.Press the [SETUP] key.

The unit enters the Utility mode and the display shows a setting menu.

The first time the unit enters the Utility mode after turning on the unit, the "Rec Protect?" menu is shown. Otherwise, the previously used setting menu is shown.

editing the label name.
