1

1. Exec.(Execute) ...................................................

Executes the check drive function.

1a

1a. Area.......................... [Unused, Full, CurSng]

Specifies the area that will be checked.

Unused: Of the unused area, check and repair the first 2 GB that will be used next.

Full: Check and repair the entire area.

CurSong: Check and repair the area used by the currently selected song.

Press the [YES/OK] button to begin the drive check. The Check Drive operation requires a certain

amount of time.

If “Area” is “Full”: approximately 4 hours 30 minutes

If “Area” is “Unused”: approximately 25 minutes If “DiskBusy” appears even after you perform the Check Drive operation, you will need to optimize the track data (→ p.59, 111: [TRACK] “EditTrk” tab

page “Optimize Track”).

In a studio or similar location, vibration due to ultra- low frequencies may cause “DiskBusy” to occur. If this is the cause of the error message, you can solve the problem by moving the D1200 to a different lo- cation, rather than executing the Check Drive oper- ation.

“EraseCD-RW”: Erase a CD-RW disc

This operation erases all data that has been written to a CD- RW disc. When you erase a disc, you will once again be able to use the entire disc area as a blank disc.

When you execute “Erase CD-RW,” all data on that disc will be lost.

You cannot execute “Erase CD-RW” on a disc other than a CD-RW.

1a. Quick SW ...................................... [On, Off]

Selects the erasure method for the CD-RW.

On: A high-speed erase will be performed on the entire CD-RW disc. Since only the track information will be erased, the erasure will require less time. This will not affect writing.

Off: The entire CD-RW disc will be erased com- pletely. Use this setting if the disc is not recognized even after it was erased with the “Quick” turned on.

Press the [YES/OK] key to begin the erasure.

This operation formats the song drive of the internal hard disk.

1a

2a

1a. Quick SW ...................................... [On, Off]

Selects the format type.

On: Select this if you want to erase the song data in a single operation. Since this will initialize only the management area, it will not require much time. Off: Select this if the “DiskError” message appears frequently.

A substantial amount of time will be required if you execute the format operation with “Quick” turned “Off.” Song drive (38 GB): approximately 10 hours

2a. Force ............................................. [On, Off]

Execute formatting even if the drive contains protected songs.

On: Forcibly execute formatting even if the drive contains a song protected by “Protect Song.”

Off: If a song protected by “Protect Song” exists on the drive, the “Song Protect” message will appear when you attempt to execute, and the operation will be aborted.

Press the [YES/OK] key to begin the format operation.
