Protecting The Hard Disk - Fostex MR-8CD Owner's Manual

MR-8HD/CD
Owner's Manual (Data export to a personal computer)
The MR-8HD/CD internal hard disk is protected by default.
The protection is effective only in the USB mode in which the MR-8HD/CD is used with a personal
computer. You can make the hard disk "read only" (protected) or "read/write enabled" (unprotected).
The default is "read only". As mentioned earlier in "Disk protection" on page 92, if you transfer
song data from a computer to the MR-8HD/CD improperly, the data may be damaged. To avoid
such an accident, we recommended enabling hard disk protection. To disabling the disk protection,
follow the procedure below.
1) While the recorder is stopped, press the
[MENU/ENTER] knob to enter the menu mode.
The display now shows the first page of the
menu selection screen, where "

You can also return to the previous screen by
pressing the [REWIND] key.
