benzine, thinner, insecticide or other strong chemicals as these may dissolve or discolor the cabinet surface. Some commercially produced chemical polishing clothes may be acceptable but read all instructions and warnings first.

2.5Managing Offline Media

The DRM-7000 provides the following features to manage of offline media.

•Removable Disc Magazines

Disc magazines may be removed from the Changer without removing the discs inside thus making it possible to make more effective us of the space within the Changer. Remove and store the magazines containing infrequently used discs.

•Unique Disc Magazine IDs for the DRM-7000

All disc magazines are assigned unique ID codes. The Changer reads this code as the magazine is inserted into a bay. Each disc is accessible as soon as the magazine is inserted into a bay. As long as the discs within the magazine match the database information for that magazine ID. If a magazine is inserted into another Changer, the new Changer recognizes the magazine if both Changers share the same database.

•Easy Disc Magazine Tracking and Controlling

Once a magazine has been assigned an ID, removing or inserting new discs into that magazine disrupts the correspondence to the database. To avoid this problem, purchase the 50-disc magazines with the locking mechanism. The locking magazine prevents discs from being removed from a magazine while it is outside of the Changer. Also use hyper magazines which track and record removal and insertion of new discs.

•Storage of Changer IDs

When a disc magazine has been inserted into a Changer not controlled by the database management software or into a Changer belonging to another system, it is possible for discs within that magazine to be rewritten or to be replaced with other discs within that Changer. Locking magazines do not prevent rewrites or disc exchanges when inserted into the Changer.

To protect the data, disc magazines are designed to record the IDs of the Changers in which the magazines are used. As long as the list of Changer IDs is maintained within the database, it is possible for the database management software to check the magazine ID and the Changer ID list to determine whether that magazine has to be reinstalled.

However, although the DRM-7000 Changer supports offline media, the actual media management may differ because of the selected database software and the Changer control software. Establish a set of management controls to handle the offline media.

To use non-locking magazines, the management controls must be very strict as these magazines are usually unsuited for offline media management.
