Set System Time
This screen shows the current time stored in the real-time clock chip of the HD-R1. A backup lithium battery powers this clock. The screen shows the status of this battery.
NOTE
The system time is set when the unit is manufactured at the factory. Please reset the system time when you first use the unit.
Software Update
This screen shows version of the software that the HD-R1 is currently running.
From time to time, new software may be released for the HD-R1. To update the HD-R1 software you will copy the update file (e.g. UPDATE_1_1.BIN) to a CF card and insert it into the HD-R1.
Whenever the HD-R1 detects an update file on inserted media that is a different version from what is currently installed, it will display the Software Version screen. This screen shows the current version of software and the version of software contained in the update file.
The HD-R1 stores two software versions in non- volatile flash memory. There is the default system version, which came from the factory and cannot be changed, and there is the current user version. When updating software it replaces the user version. If there is a problem with the update, you can always boot up the HD-R1 using the default system version by holding the STOP key and the ENTER key while powering up.
Once completed, the software update file is automatically deleted from the media.
3–Screens and Menus
Media Tools SubmenuThis submenu provides tools for checking media usage and formatting/erasing CF media.
Media Information
Media Information reports information about the Compact Flash Card that is in use.
This screen shows a 1 GB CF card from SanDisk. It has been formatted as a FAT16 storage device for optimal performance of this size of media.
Media Speed Check
This performs a quick write/read speed check on the inserted CF media. The results are approximate and should be used only as a general guideline. The screen below shows the results of a media speed check.
16M indicates 16-bit mono. 16S indicates 16-bit stereo. 24M is 24-bit mono. 24S is 24-bit stereo.
Reformat Media
Formatting media permanently deletes everything on the CF card. This does a low-level format. The HD-R1 supports both FAT16 and FAT32 file system formats. FAT32 is required for CF cards 2GB and larger. Smaller cards are formatted as FAT16. Before proceeding with formatting, the HD-R1 will display the confirmation screen shown below.
