Saving and Loading Setup Files
To save all of the current settings to a setup file, select the Setup Menu option
[Quick Setup - Save Settings to Drive 1]. Use the on-screen keyboard (or attached USB key-
board) to enter a name for the setup file. This will save all of the current settings to an XML
file at root of Drive 1. To load a previously saved setup file, select the Setup Menu option
[Quick Setup - Load Settings from Drive 1]. The setup XML file will have to be copied to the root of
Drive 1 prior to attempting to load it.
For a complete list of available Setup Menu options,

Sound Reports
Sound reports are comma-delineated CSV files based on WAV file metadata. The headers for these
reports are customizable. You can create sound reports in a specific folder to a single drive only or in
a current folder for all applicable drives.
Sound reports (CSV files) do not appear in the File list.
To manage sound report headers:
1. Press MENU.
2. Select File Storage > Sound Report Info.
3. Modify each option as needed.
To create a sound report in the current folder, do either of the following:
• Press the AUDIO + FILES buttons simultaneously.
• From an attached keyboard, press Ctrl+P.
Sound reports created in current folders are saved for all applicable drives.
To create a sound report on a specific Reel folder:
1. Press FILES.
2. Select the Reel folder in which you want to create the sound report.
3. Either press and hold the Control knob to enter the Folder Options menu, or from an at-
tached keyboard, press the Right Arrow key.
4. Select Create Sound Report. The CSV file is created in the specified folder only on that drive.
To view a sound report (CSV file):
1. Eject the drive from the unit and attach it to a computer.
2. Navigate to the Current or Reel folder in which the report was created.
3. Open the report in any application supporting CSV format, such as Excel for spreadsheets.
