Model D2424LVmkII Quick Operation Guide
After installing a hard disk drive into the recorder, you must format the disk; otherwise you cannot record or
playback any data. Note that the following explanation assumes that the disk is unformatted. If you want to
know how to reformat a formatted disk, see the Reference manual.
<CAUTION>
Be sure to connect the recorder to the power supply specified in the specification section of the Refer-
ence manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other voltage.
1.
Turn the power on.
The display will show the ROM version and time/
date, followed by "Initializing..." -> "Current IDE Drv"
-> [(hard disk model name)]. Then after "Unformat!"
appears momentarily, the recorder automatically
accesses the Disk Format menu in the SETUP mode
and the following screen appears.

Press the [EXECUTE/YES] key.
The display changes the screen for setting the
sampling frequency and quantization (default
indication is "44.1kHz 24bit?").
Sampling frequency
Quantization
Number of available tracks
<Available recording time after formatting>
A greater sampling frequency will reduce the available recording time/space after formatting. Under the same sam-
pling frequency setting, the greater quantization (bit number) reduces the available recording time.
The following table shows the "approximate available recording time" under each sampling frequency/quantization.
Depending on your medium, the available recording time may differ slightly. It will be a good idea to check the
available recording time. See "Checking the available recording time (REMAIN) on a formatted disk" on page "11."
Note that the available time values in the following table are based on a mono track recording.

<Note>
You cannot save audio data recorded in a 88.2kHz/24bit or 96kHz/24bit program using an adat digital signal.
See the Reference manual for details about the save/load operations.

Select desired sampling frequency/quantization
with the Jog dial.
For sampling frequency/quantization, other settings
FS
kHz
given in chart below can be selected in addition to
the presently shown "44.1kHz 24bit."
At selecting the sampling frequency/quantization,
besure to refer to <Note> below.
The sampling frequency:
The sampling frequency and quantizing of
the current drive (E-IDE hard disk) are
setup during the formatting or reformat-
ting process.
Consequently, all programs in the current
FS
drive will adhere to the sampling frequency
kHz
used at formatting. You can change the
format, however, after compiling a pro-
gram. In other words, a variety of programs
with different sampling frequencies can be
installed on the current drive. But alter-
able frequencies will be limited, depend-
ing on quantization at formatting. For de-
tails, refer to page "23".
