Fostex DV824 Unformatted disk, Unused formatted disk, Recorded disk, CD-DA format audio CD

DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824

The DVD-RAM drive of the unit can load following types of disks. Depending on the type of a disk loaded, the unit starts up differently as described below. If you set a disk with the type other than the following types, the unit automatically rejects it and opens the disk tray.

• Unformatted disk

As described earlier, the unit recognizes that the disk is unformatted and shows "Unformat" on the display, followed by the "Format" menu item of the "DISK UTILITY" menu in the MENU mode.

• Unused formatted disk

If you set an unused UDF-formatted disk, the unit scans the disk and recognizes that no BWF files exist on the disk, then starts up while showing "--Nofiles!--" on the Home screen (see page 21 for details).

• Recorded disk

If you set a DVD-RAM disk on which any audio file is recorded, the earliest recorded audio file (file number 001) on the disk is loaded normally. For example, if five recorded audio files (001 through 005) exist on the disk, the unit always starts up at the beginning (ABS 0) of the "001" file. However, if the "Resume" menu item of the "DISK UTILITY" menu in the MENU mode is set to "On", the audio file previously loaded before turning off the power last time is loaded (see page 154 for details).

• CD-DA format audio CD

If you set an audio CD disk of the Red Book format (regardless of whether it is a CD-R/RW disk or commercially available CD), the unit starts up at the beginning of track 1 (see page 64 for detaols). Only playback is possible with an audio CD.

Note that some copy-protected audio CDs may not be played back.

• ISO9660-formatted CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW

If you set an ISO9660-formatted CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW disk, you can play back a WAV file (BWF) on the disk.

Important notice for setting an uncovered disk to the tray

When you set an uncovered disk (such as a DVD-RAM disk which is taken out from a case, a CD-ROM or an audio CD), place the disk on the inner position of the tray and then slide it forward to fix it by the fixing guides on the tray, as shown in <Figure 1>. If you place a disk on the fixing guides and close the tray, the disk is not loaded correctly, which may damage the disk or the unit. Please make sure that an uncovered disk is correctly fixed by the fixing guides before closing the tray. When removing a disk from the tray, slide it backward and pull it up, as shown in <Figure 2>.
