In the initial setting, "On" will flash and if the [JOG] dial
is rotated in this state, either "On" or "Off" can be se-
lected.
Normally, format is executed with multiple undo set to
"On" but if the current drive capacity is small and you
wish to limit consumption of the hard disk, it must be
set to "Off." For details, refer to chart in next page.
Multiple Undo function
On (default)
When set to On, the undo func-
tion is applied to all takes (re-
cording, editing, etc.) executed
after the disk has been format-
ted. However, consumption of
the hard disk increases, so if the
disk capacity is not large
enough, we recommend setting
this function to Off.
For details on multiple undo function, refer to the Refer-
ence Manual.
6. Select "On" or "Off" via the [JOG] dial, and press
the [EXECUTE/YES] key.
The screen for selecting the format appears (the default
shows "Standard Format?").
You can select the format type between "Standard
Format" and "Quick Format" using the [JOG] dial.
To newly format the hard disk, select the initial setting
of "Standard format?"and proceed to the next step.

Format type
Standard Format (default)
During formatting, the recorder
checks the hard disk perfor-
mance including the access
time of each block.
The time required for the for-
mat is longer but the reliability
is enhanced.
In general, it is best to select
this default format type.

Quick Format
Formatting this way, the recorder
assumes that all sectors in the
hard disk are good and simply
formats the disk.
The time required to format is very
short, however, bad sectors on
the disk will not be found.
Select this format type only when
using a new hard disk that is
checked by FOSTEX.
