Changing the Initial Settings
SETUP mode of the FD-4 offers the "Changing the initial
settings" menus that configure the operating environment
of the FD-4, and the "Execution" menus that execute cer-
tain operations, such as save and load.
The "Changing the initial settings" menus include 16 pa-
rameters as shown in Table-1 below. These parameters were
set before the unit was shipped from the factory (These
values are called "initial settings."). Modifying these set-
tings allows you to change the operating environment of
the FD-4.
Also, as shown in Table-2, the "Execution" menus include
five items: Title Edit?, Del. PGM?, Load PGM?, Save PGM?,
and Format?, which you can execute by selecting the corre-
sponding SETUP menu. This chapter explains how to use
the "Changing the initial settings" menus shown in Table-
1. For more information on the "Execution" menus, refer to
the corresponding pages in the "Reference page" column
in Table-2.

Selecting SETUP mode

Follow the steps below to select the desired SETUP menu in
SETUP mode.
1. While the FD-4 is stopped, press the SETUP key on the

Pressing the SETUP key causes the FD-4 to enter SETUP
mode. The FD-4 displays the first hierarchy level of the
SETUP menu you selected before you turned off the power.
At this time, the menu graphics appear as shown below.
The flashing menu indicator is the currently-selected
menu. Turning the JOG dial will select a different menu
and the corresponding menu indicator will flash.
The following diagram shows the position of each menu.

you format an external SCSI disk, "Sign. Set? (Setting a time signature)"
