When You Cannot Save a Song to a Single Disk (Archives)

Handling of Archives Copy Disks

To save songs in archives format, the destination disk must be initialized. This initialization proce- dure differs from the usual Drive Initialize for- matting (p. 111). This procedure lets you carry out Archives Copy with newly purchased disks, disks which previously have been used with a personal computer or other device, or other disks which have not been formatted with Drive Initialize. However, any song data saved to the disk is lost once the Archives Copy procedure is performed.

Additionally, you cannot designate a disk contain- ing archive format songs as the current drive. If you try to do this, the disk is identified as being an uninitialized disk.

Saving to Disks (Store)

Here we will explain the example of when a Zip drive with SCSI ID number 5 is connected as an external disk drive.

1.Make the drive (internal hard disk) containing the song you want to copy the current drive.

2.Insert a disk into the Zip drive.

3.Press [SONG] several times until “SNG Song Copy ?” appears in the display.

4.Press [YES].

“SNG CpyMode=” appears in the display.

5.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial. Here, select “Archives.”

CpyMode

Playable: Playable type.

Archives: Archives type.

6.Press PARAMETER [ ].

“SNG ArcTarget=” appears in the display.

7.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial. If you wish to copy the current song, select “1 Song.” To copy all songs from the current drive, select “All.”

8.Press PARAMETER [ ].

“SNG Arc.Drive=” appears in the display.

9.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial. Select the copy destination disk drive. For this operation, you will be able to select only removable disk drives which are connected to the SCSI connector. It is not pos- sible to select the current drive (the internal hard disk) as the copy destination drive. For example if you wish to copy to a Zip disk, select “SC5:0.”

10.Press PARAMETER [ ].

“SNG Arc.Func=” appears in the display.

11.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial. Here, select “Store.”

“STORE Current?” (Store the current song?) appears in the display.

14.If you wish to save the current song, press [YES]; if not, then press [NO]. If you have selected a demo song, then press [NO].

15.The display will ask, “You’ll Lose Data/Continue ?.” Press [YES]. If you decide to cancel the Archives Copy operation, press [NO].

*All data saved on the Zip disk will be deleted. Do not use any Zip disk containing song data that you need.

16.If the song holds a large amount of data, and can- not be contained on a single Zip disk, the disk is ejected, and the message “Please Insert Disk” appears in the display. Insert the next disk and press [YES]. At this time, be sure to write the disk numbers on the labels so that you can keep track of the order in which the disks were inserted into the drive.
