Dual drive recording (the optional Model 9057 required)

Dual drive recording is a special function which simultaneously records the same data to a "mirror" DVD-RAM disk (*) while recording audio data to a hard disk parti- tion specially formatted for "dual drive recording".

Dual drive recording intends to make a clone disk.

Therefore, editing meta data or disk volume label (reel No.) of an audio file recorded to a hard disk partition is reflected to a "mirror" DVD-RAM disk.

(*) About "mirror" disk

A DVD-RAM disk which is the partner of the current drive formatted for "dual drive recording" is called a "mirror disk".

When formatting the DV824 internal hard disk partition for "dual drive record- ing", a DVD-RAM disc set to the DVD-RAM drive is automatically assigned as a "mirror disk". Therefore, when making dual drive recording, the "mirror disk" must be set to the drive.

<Note>: You cannot record data only to the mirror disk.

To make it possible to record data only to the mirror disk, reformat the current hard disk partition for normal recording via the "Format" menu item in the "DISC UTIL- ITY" menu of the MENU mode.

The following explains how to format a partition for dual drive recording and how to make dual drive recording.

Formatting in the "DDR" mode

To carry out dual drive recording, you have to format the current partition in the "DDR" mode for dual drive recording. The following procedure is assumed that the "PT02HD" hard disk partition is currently selected (see page 83 for details about how to select a partition).

1)While the unit is stopped, press the [ENTER/YES] key to enter the MENU mode.

The display now shows the MENU list screen.

2)Use the [MENU] dial to select "DISK UTILITY" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display now shows the DISK UTILITY menu screen.
