Backup Wait
When this is set to “On,” the data transmission speed will be slower. Turn this on when using a disk drive (such as a Zip drive) whose data read/write speed is slower. When this is set to “On,” although it takes longer for the backup to finish, problems arising from the data transfer (such as data loss) are minimized. Normally, this is set to “Off.”
11.Press PARAMETER [ ]. “Sample Rate=” appears in the display.
12.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial.
Sample Rate
This sets the sample rate (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz) during DAT backup. This sample rate has no relation to the sample rate of the song data. Normally, this is set to 48 kHz.
13.The approximate time it will take and the number of tapes needed to back up the data are indicated in the display. Please prepare the necessary num- ber of tapes.
