Formatting the disk again
If you wish to change the recording mode of a formatted
disk or to re-format a used disk, you need to set the FD-4 to
SETUP mode and use the [Format ?] menu.
In the following procedure, we assume that the power to
the FD-4 and the SCSI drive is already turned on.
1. Insert a disk into the SCSI drive.
When you insert a formatted disk into the SCSI drive, the
FD-4 displays the recording mode of the disk (Master 1,
Master 2, or Normal) and the type of Time Base that was
used previously.
2. Press the SETUP key.
The FD-4 enters SETUP mode and displays the first layer, in
which you can select the desired SETUP menu.
If the FD-4 enters SETUP mode after you format a disk or
turn on the power and insert a disk, the FD-4 displays the
first layer of the [Sign. Set ?] (signature setting) menu as
shown below. (“?” flashes.)
Otherwise, the FD-4 displays the first layer of the menu
that was shown before the FD-4 exited SETUP mode.
3. Turn the JOG dial and select [Format ?].
You can also use the HOLD/> key, REWIND button, or F
FWD button to select the [Format ?] menu.
4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
As explained in the “Formatting a new disk” section, the ID
number of the connected SCSI drive appears and [SURE ?]
flashes on the display.
5. Press the EXECUTE/YES key again.
[Pls Wait !] appears momentarily, then the recording mode
selection display appears.
6. Use the JOG dial to select a recording mode.
Refer to the “Formatting a new disk” section for more infor-
mation on recording modes.
7. Press the EXECUTE/YES key while holding
down the RECORD button.
The FD-4 starts formatting the disk in selected recording
mode. Wait a while. When formatting is complete, [COM-
PLETED !] lights up on the display, and the FD-4 stops ac-
cessing the disk.
8. Press the STOP button or the EXIT/NO key.
The FD-4 exits SETUP mode and displays ABS 0.
