3–Screens and Menus
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.
Media Tools Submenu
This 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.
