Setting The Time Before The Cd-R/Rw Drive Is Stopped (Hold Time); Initializing The Hard Disk (Disk Initialize) - Boss BR-1180 Owner's Manual

Setting the time before the CD-R/RW
drive is stopped (Hold Time)
When reading from, and writing to CD-R/RW discs, the CD-
R/RW drive's motor continues to run for a predetermined
time even after reading or writing is finished. If the sound of
the rotating motor interferes with your recording operations,
you can alter the time it takes for the rotation to stop.
* This function is available only on the BR-1180CD. It is not
implemented on the BR-1180.
1. Press [UTILITY].
2. Use [CURSOR] to select the "SYSTEM" icon, and press
[ENTER].

3. Press [CURSOR] to select "CD Hold Time," and turn
the TIME/VALUE dial to set the time.
fig.R19-60
* This is set at the factory to 32 seconds.
* Once the motor is stopped, additional time is required for the
motor speed to stabilize the next time you read from, or write
to the CD-R/RW disc. If you are going to be continually
reading and writing with respect to a disc, you should avoid
having the motor stop by increasing the CD Hold Time
setting.
Other Convenient Functions
Initializing the hard disk
(Disk Initialize)
This immediately restores the BR-1180/1180CD's internal
hard disk to its original factory settings.
If for any reason the hard disk can no longer be written to or
read from, or if you immediately want to delete all data from
the disk, you can carry out Disk Initialize.
Take care to note that all data on the hard disk is lost when
you execute Disk Initialize. The demo songs programmed at
the factory are also deleted.
We recommend creating a backup of your data on a CD-R/
RW disc or other media as your situation requires.
* If you are using the BR-1180, the optional CDI-BR-1 is
required for backing up to CD-R/RW.
1. Press [UTILITY].
2. Use [CURSOR] to select "HDD" icon, then press
[ENTER].

3. Using [CURSOR] again to select the "INITIALIZE"
icon, then press [ENTER].

mode.

This is the usual format. The hard disk is formatted as a
single partition.
