D24—Owner’s Manual
Connecting the Power Cord
Connect the socket-end of the supplied power cord to the AC IN
socket on the rear panel of the D24, and the plug-end to a suitable
AC wall outlet, one that conforms to the power supply require-
ments stated on the D24 rear panel.
Turning On & Off the D24
To prevent loud clicks and thumps in your loudspeakers, turn on your audio equip-
ment in the following order (reverse this order when turning off your equip-
ment)—sound sources, D24, mixing console, monitor amplifier.
Before turning on the D24, turn on any external disk drives con-
nected to the D24’s SCSI port. Disk drives that are not turned on will
not be recognized by the D24. Drives that you do not intend to use
should be disconnected before turning on the D24. See “Using Exter-
nal Disk Drives” on page 154 for more information.
1Press the [POWER] switch to turn on the D24.
After several seconds, “NO DISK” appears on the display and the D24
is ready for use.
2Press the [POWER] switch again to turn off the D24.
Write Protecting Disks
MO disks feature write-protect tabs similar to those found on floppy disks, allowing
you to protect your recordings against accidental overwriting.
When the write-protect tab window is open, the disk is write protected and cannot be
used for recording or editing. When the write-protect tab window is closed, the disk is
unprotected and both recording and editing are possible.
Individual projects can be protected using the Project Edit Protect function. See “Pro-
tecting Projects” on page 82 for more information.
Warning: Turn off all equipment before making any power connections.
