SETUP mode of the FD-4 offers the “Changing the initial
settings” menus that configure the operating environment
of the FD-4, and the “Execution” menus that execute cer-
tain operations, such as save and load.
The “Changing the initial settings” menus include 16 pa-
rameters as shown in Table-1 below. These parameters were
set before the unit was shipped from the factory (These
values are called “initial settings.”). Modifying these set-
tings allows you to change the operating environment of
the FD-4.
Also, as shown in Table-2, the “Execution” menus include
five items: Title Edit?, Del. PGM?, Load PGM?, Save PGM?,
and Format?, which you can execute by selecting the corre-
sponding SETUP menu. This chapter explains how to use
the “Changing the initial settings” menus shown in Table-
1. For more information on the “Execution” menus, refer to
the corresponding pages in the “Reference page” column
in Table-2.

Selecting SETUP mode
Follow the steps below to select the desired SETUP menu in
SETUP mode.
1. While the FD-4 is stopped, press the SETUP key on the
control panel.
Pressing the SETUP key causes the FD-4 to enter SETUP
mode. The FD-4 displays the first hierarchy level of the
SETUP menu you selected before you turned off the power.
At this time, the menu graphics appear as shown below.
The flashing menu indicator is the currently-selected
menu. Turning the JOG dial will select a different menu
and the corresponding menu indicator will flash.
The following diagram shows the position of each menu.
Changing the Initial Settings
(SETUP Mode)
<Note>
With the factory initial settings, or when you turn on the power again after
you format an external SCSI disk, “Sign. Set? (Setting a time signature)”
appears. Otherwise, the first hierarchy level of the previously-selected
SETUP menu appears.
The title of the SETUP menu ap-
pears. You can select a different
menu via the JOG dial.
This lights up when the FD-4

This indicates the position of the SETUP menu. Selecting a menu
via the JOG dial will move the flashing cursor.
2. Select the desired menu using the JOG dial, then press the
EXECUTE/YES key.
The FD-4 displays the second hierarchy level of the

(Refer to the next page for more information.)
To exit SETUP mode, press the STOP button or the EXIT/NO key. Each
time you press one of these keys, the FD-4 returns to the previous hier-
archy level of the menu, and finally exits SETUP mode.
