Chapter 4 Checking operation using the pre-installation program

This chapter explains after the unit has been installed how to conduct comprehensive operation checks on the hardware of the unit using the limited edition of the editing software program which is pre-installed in the unit.

Note:

Do not install the editing program until the checks described in this chapter have been completed. Otherwise, it may no longer be possible to run the limited edition of the program which was pre-installed.

After the power to the unit has been turned on, wait until the Windows NT startup screen has appeared without any problem. It is only after this that all the checks described in this chapter are to be performed. For details on the checks and inspections before this screen appears, refer to Chapters 1 and 2 of this Manual.

When an external VTR is to be used, connect the external input and output devices to both the component and composite connectors before starting the checks.
