Model D2424 Quick Operation Guide
Formatting a hard disk drive
After installing a hard disk drive into the recorder, you must format the disk; otherwise you cannot
record or playback any data. Note that the following explanation assumes that the disk is
unformatted. If you want to know how to reformat a formatted disk, see the Reference manual.
1. Turn the power on.
The display will show the ROM version and time/date,
followed by [Initializing...] -> [Current IDE Drv] -> [(hard
disk model name)]. Then after [Unformat!] appears
momentarily, the recorder automatically accesses the
Disk Format menu in the SETUP mode and the following
screen appears.
3. Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.
The display changes the screen for setting the sampling
frequency and quantization (default indication is [44.1
kHz 24bit?]).
<CAUTION>
Be sure to connect the recorder to the power supply specified in the specification section of the Refer-
ence manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other voltage.

4. Select desired sampling frequency/quantization
with the [JOG] dial (or [PREV] key/[NEXT] key).
For sampling frequency/quantization, other settings
given in chart below can be selected in addition to the
presently shown "44.1kHz 24bit."
At selecting the sampling frequency/quantization, be
sure to refer to <Note> below.

Number of available tracks
<Available recording time after formatting>
A greater sampling frequency will reduce the available recording time/space after formatting. Under the same
sampling frequency setting, the greater quantization (bit number) reduces the available recording time.
The following table shows the "approximate available recording time" under each sampling frequency/quantiza-
tion. Depending on your medium, the available recording time may differ slightly. It will be a good idea to check
the available recording time. See “Checking the available recording time (REMAIN) on a formatted disk” on page 10.
Note that the available time values in the following table are based on a mono track recording.

<Note>
As shown in the table above, if you format the current drive at 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits, only eight real
tracks are available. Also note that data recorded on the current drive of the D2424 which is formatted at 96 kHz/
24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits cannot save to an external DAT recorder or adat. See the Reference manual for details
about the save/load operations.

5. Select the desired sampling frequency using the
[JOG] dial and press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.
By pressing the [EXECUTE/YES] key after selecting the
sampling frequency, the screen for the multiple undo
On/Off setting will appear.
