PD-6
DVD Location Recorder (Chapter 2: Before using the PD-6)
Initial format of a disk
The operation procedure below is assumed that an unused DVD-RAM disk is
set to the PD-6. If you have a disk formatted with FAT32, etc., you can
format it with the similar procedure.
1) While the message “Non-BWF-DVD FMT!” is shown, press the [ENTER] key.
The PD-6 automatically enters the “Format” menu.
When an unused disk is set, the Reel No field is blank and you have to enter a
desired reel number.
2) Select “Reel No” using the [SEL] dial and press the [ENTER] key.
The leftmost digit of the Reel No field starts flashing, showing that now you
can enter a reel number.
3) Enter a desired reel number using the [SEL] dial (or the numeric keys).
For example, you can enter “S001”.
Use the [
SKIP/CURSOR ] keys to move the cursor position.
When using the numeric keys for entering characters, pressing any other
numeric key moves the cursor to the right automatically.
<Note>
There are two options for the Format mode: “Normal” and “Tape”.
With a disk formatted in the “Normal” mode, each time you make recording,
a new audio file is automatically created.
Meanwhile, when formatting a disk in the “Tape” mode, the whole disk is
formatted as a single file. In other words, a “Tape mode” audio file is
created on a disk.
For details about how to format a disk in the “Tape” mode, see “Formatting
a disk” in “Chapter 8: Utility mode” on page 115.
