Deleting A Program - Fostex FD-4 Owner's Manual

Handling Programs

Deleting a Program

This section explains how to delete an unnecessary
Program.
Deleting an unnecessary Program will expand the record-
able area, making your work flow more smoothly, since
recording or editing requires sufficient recordable area (free
space on the disk). Use the [Del. PGM ?] menu in SETUP
mode to delete a Program.
<Notes on deleting a Program>
• You can delete only the currently-selected Program. Refer to
the previous section, "Using a Program Change function," for
information on how to select the desired Program before you
proceed to delete the Program.
• If only one Program exists and you try to delete it, data
contained in the Program will be deleted, but the Program itself
will remain.
For example, assume that PGM 01 –07 exist and you try to
delete PGM 05. Program number 05 will remain, but the data
inside PGM 05 will be replaced with the data of PGM 06.
The subsequent Programs' data will move in the same way.
Therefore, it will appear that PGM 07 has been deleted.
If you delete the last Program (PGM 07 in this example), PGM
07 will be completely deleted.
PGM 01 PGM 02 PGM 03 PGM 04 PGM 05 PGM 06 PGM 07
After deleted
PGM 01 PGM 02 PGM 03 PGM 04 PGM 05 PGM 06
• You cannot use the Undo/Redo function to delete Programs.
Make sure that you delete the correct Program.

1. Press the SETUP key while the FD-4 is stopped.
The FD-4 enters SETUP mode, and displays the first
hierarchy of the SETUP menu that was displayed before
youturned off the power.
The default setting is [Sign. Set ?] menu (setting a time
signature).

Alternatively, you can use the HOLD/> key, the REWIND
button, or the F FWD button.
3. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The number of the Program to be deleted appears and
[SURE ?] flashes.
To cancel the delete operation, press the EXIT/NO key while [SURE ?]
is flashing. Each time you press the button or key, the FD-4 will return to
a higher level in the hierarchy, and finally exit SETUP mode.
4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key again.
When the FD-4 displays [Deleting...] and finishes
deleting the Program, the data of the next Program
number moves in, and its ABS time appears.
• To check the REMAIN time and free space, press the DISP SEL key
to display the [REMAIN] indication after the Program is deleted.
