The recorder starts the backup format operation.
During the format operation, [REMAIN] lights up on the

the format operation proceeds. Wait until formatting

is

complete. When the format operation is complete,
[COMPLETED !] lights up and the disk stops spinning.

Setup mode.

drive that was shown before the unit entered Setup mode.

To eject the disk from the backup drive, press the EJECT
button on the drive.

Optimizing the disk

If you are using a disk that was formatted with the Multiple Undo function turned on, free disk space becomes
smaller quickly because the disk always keeps the Multiple Undo files. Optimizing such a disk (using the [Disk
Optimize?] menu in Setup mode) will increase free block space.

<Note>

After you record multiple takes, if you optimize the disk (with the Multiple Undo function turned on), you will
be able to undo only the most recent take. Therefore, if you wish to keep some takes, perform the Multiple
Undo function or use the Program duplicate function to restore the take, then optimize the disk. For more
information, see “Multiple Undo Function” on page

64

.

1.While the disk is not being accessed, press the

SETUP key to put the unit into Setup mode.

2.Turn the JOG dial to select the [Disk Optimize?]

menu and press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The recorder displays the following indication and
[SURE ?] flashes.

3.Press and hold down the RECORD button and

press the EXECUTE/YES key.

The disk optimize function starts. When it is complete,
[COMPLETED!] lights up.

4.Press the EXIT/NO key (or STOP button) to exit

Setup mode.
