Loading song data
You can load the data from DAT to the SCSI disk of the FD-4.
Preparing a DAT machine
• Turn on the power to the DAT machine, and insert the tape
that includes the data you wish to load.
• Locate a point slightly before the pilot signal recorded at the
beginning of the data.
Operation on the FD-4
Use the “Load PGM ?” menu in SETUP mode to execute the
load operation. This menu can be found before the “Save
PGM ?” menu.
The gray area in the display illustration indicates it is flashing.
1. Press the SETUP key when the FD-4 is stopped.
The FD-4 enters SETUP mode, and the first hierarchy of
the menu previously selected appears on the display.
The [Sign Set ?] menu appears in default.

2. Turn the JOG dial to display [Load PGM ?], then press the
EXECUTE/YES key.
[?] stops flashing, and the Program number flashes.
This number indicates the program that is selected on
the load destination disk. If multiple Programs exist, you
can select the desired Program in the next step.
3. Use the JOG dial to select the desired Program.
You can select [01] or [02] if only one Program exists on
the disk.
If you select [02], [PGM] and [New] flash alternately.
This means that you can set up a new Program. If you do
not wish to lead data to Program 1, select [02] to
automatically create a new Program 2 on the disk, and
Program 2 will be selected as the destination. (In the same
way, if Programs 1–4 exist and you select [05], [New]
flashes. That is, if you select the next largest Program
number, [New] flashes.)
4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The FD-4 displays the track selection for the load
operation, and [4] flashes. The next step allows you to
select whether you wish to save tracks 1–4 or 1–6. (The
following figure indicates tracks 1–4.)
5. Select tracks to load using the JOG dial.
Rotating the JOG dial causes [4] and [6] to flash
alternately. In this example, select [6] to load data on all
tracks, including the Additional tracks.
If you select [4], data from tracks 1–4 will be loaded.
6. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The load destination Program and track data to be loaded
will be confirmed. The FD-4 displays an illuminated
DIGITAL indicator and a flashing [SURE ?] message.
A flashing DIGITAL indicates that the FD-4 is not
receiving digital signals from the DAT correctly.
Check the DAT setting and cable connections.
