  • Page 3: Formatting Macintosh Disks

    Various types of file errors and inconsistencies can sometimes accumulate on a Macintosh drive. Although the MMR-8 and MMP-16 can read and write data on Macintosh HFS volumes, it is of critical importance that any Macintosh disk used be free of file and format errors. When the MMR/MMP unit scans the SCSI bus for available drives and sees a Macintosh volume, it will look for file errors on the disk.

  • Page 8: Session Start Time Restrictions

    If it is necessary to punch in on a track before the Session start time, use the Pro Tools system to re-set the session start time as appropriate. The MMR-8 has no provision to set the start time, except for tape mode.
