Making copies

■Restoring items onto the hard disk from the copy device

This unit features the capability to restore recorded data to the hard disk from a copy device. In addition, the restore range can be specified.

•Set the COPY DIRECTION on the <COPY SE- LECTION> menu to “COPY –> HDD”.

•“ON” is the only setting available for the OVERWRITE on the <COPY SELECTION> menu.

■Restoring items from the archive device to the hard disk

This unit features the capability to restore recorded data to the hard disk from an archive device. In addition, the Restore range can be specified. “ON” is the only available setting for the Restore function.

The archive device must be connected to ID4 when making backups of recorded material. Refer

to page 18 for more details on ID numbers.

♦Manual setting of Copy range

1. Press the COPY button.

•The <COPY SELECTION> menu will appear.

•Use the JOG dial and SHUTTLE ring to designate the copy destination.

2.Use the JOG dial to move the cursor to “TRANSFER PERIOD”, then turn the SHUTTLE ring clockwise to select “MAN”.

6.Turn the SHUTTLE ring clockwise to initiate the Copy or Restore functions.

•When Copy range is set manually, the unit will execute the Copy function at a range slightly larger than the setting.

If the Copy range exceeds the amount of available storage space in the copy medium, the unit will

issue a size error warning during copy operation. In this case, either reset the Copy range or replace the copy medium. Refer to page 75 for more details on warning indicators. In addition, if the COPY button is pressed when the Copy range is set to “ALL”, the unit will automatically input the Copy range. This does not mean, however, that the Copy function has been started.

INFORMATION

The unit is capable of recording onto its hard disk while executing the Copy func-

tion. The unit generates a OVERTAKE warning during copying when hard disk over-writing is being ap- proached. When it is exceeded, a CALL OUT signal will be emitted from the CALL OUT terminal, and the Copy function will be halted.

♦Automatic settings for Copy range

By setting “TRANSFER PERIOD” to “ALL” or “A/B”, the process of setting copy range becomes greatly simplified. Refer to steps 1 to 3 on the left for the setting procedure.

•When “ALL” is selected, the start- and end-times of the data recorded in the hard disk are displayed. Select “ALL” in step 2 of the procedure outlined on the left, then com- plete steps 5 and 6 to complete this setting. (There will be instances where it takes time for the peripheral device to collect the copy start- and end-times from the main unit, after “ALL” has been selected.)

•When “A/B” is selected, the start- and end-times selected using the USER SETUP button will be displayed. Refer to page 25 for details on User button settings. Select “A/B” in step 2 of the procedure outlined on the left, then complete steps 5 and 6 to complete this setting.

Limits to the copy range can be established by first using the automatic setting procedure described above to set start-time and end-time, then performing the manual settings on the copy range described on the left.

♦Automatic adjustments of Copy range

This copying method automatically adjusts copy size to the copy medium’s available storage space, using one limit of the Copy range as a fixed point.

a) Designating start-time

Copy start-time is set manually, then end-time is adjusted automatically according to the copy medium’s available storage space.

•Designate start-time.

•Set end-time in the (** - ** - ** ** : ** : **) field.

When the copy end-point is automatically ad- justed, the actual recording proceeds as shown in

the following chart.
