Selecting The Current Drive; How To Select The Current Drive - Fostex PD-6 Owner's Manual

V2.0 Supplementary manual
When the Model 9056 or/and Model EX12 is/are fitted to the PD-6, you have to select the current
drive (a DVD-RAM drive or hard disk partition).
The following shows the procedure of selecting the current drive assuming that the Model 9056 is
fitted to the PD-6.
It is also assumed that a formatted blank 8-cm DVD-RAM disk is set to the PD-6 DVD-RAM drive and
the PD-6 DVD-RAM drive is selected as the current drive ("No Files!" is shown on the screen, as the
screen example below).
<Note>: With the PD-6 software update, the cur-
rent drive name is shown beside the remaining
time indication on the Normal screen. On the
screen example right, "iDVD" (which stands for
internal DVD-RAM drive) is shown.
<Note>: If the PD-6 starts up while an unformatted disk is set to
the internal DVD-RAM drive, the message as shown right ap-
pears on the display after loading the disk. In this case, press
the [ENTER] key and format the DVD-RAM disk by following
the procedure shown on page 8. (If the Model EX12 DVD-RAM
drive is selected as the current drive and an unformatted disk
is set to the EX12 DVD-RAM drive, carry out the similar opera-
tion.)

How to select the current drive

1) While the recorder is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the [SHIFT] indicator, followed
by the [LIGHT] key.
The display now shows the top page of the "Select drive" screen, which is newly added to the
Setup mode. In this screen, the available drive/partition list is shown.
On the screen example below, the PD-6 DVD-RAM drive is selected as the current drive ("MAIN
DVD Drive" is highlighted). Partitions of the Model 9056 are also shown in the list, which you
can select among from.
<Note>: You can also bring up the "Select drive" screen above using the same procedure as
with other Setup menu items (by pressing the [SETUP] key, using the [SEL] dial to highlight
"Select drive", and then pressing the [ENTER] key).
2) Use the [SEL] dial to highlight the desired drive or partition.
By rotating the [SEL] dial, you can select the current drive among from "iP01" through "iP27",
as well as "MAIN DVD Drive". Twenty-seven partitions are available in the optional Model
9056 and each partition has its default "reel number (volume label)".
