6. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The FD-8 displays the total time of the selected Program. You can edit this total time value. That is, you can shorten the time required for the save operation.

For example, if the duration of the Program is 8 minutes 25 seconds, you can edit this time value to 5 minutes. (You can edit up to 59 minutes 59 seconds.)

This is useful when the backup tape lacks adequate space.
