Surface Scan

This confirms that the read and write functions in all of the drive’s partitions are operating correctly when the drive is initialized. In normal circumstances, set this to “Off.” When you want to conduct a test of the read/ write functions, such as when you are experiencing problems with your hard drive that cannot be corrected by normal initialization, set this to “On”.

The function buttons operate as shown.

Drive Check

You can check the drive you are using to make sure it can be read correctly. This is referred to as a “Drive Check.” A Drive Check can determine whether a failure during Song Copy (p. 224) or DAT Backup (p. 232) is due to a problem in the song itself, whether the problem is with the connections, or if there is a problem of some other kind. If data cannot be read correctly, the display will indicate the song in which the error occurred.

The Utility menu icon appears in the display.

2.Press [F5 (DrChk)]. If “DrChk” does not appear in the display above [F5], first press [PAGE] until “DrChk” is displayed, and then press [F5 (DrChk)].

A list of currently connected drives appears in the display.

3.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor. Select the drive you wish to check.

4.When you have selected the drive you wish to check, press [F4 (Exec)]. “Drive Check ***?” appears in the display. “***” refers to the selected drive’s ID number.
