FLOPPY DISK button: When this button is ON, the
unit scans the floppy disk inserted in the disk drive,
and displays the names of any titles stored on the disk.
Note
• The unit only accepts a 2 HD floppy disk, formatted
in the DMX-R100 format or the DOS format. Disks
other than the above are not acceptable.
• A dialogue "There are no titles or this is an
unformatted disk. Check media in the floppy disk
drive." appears, in the following cases:
— A floppy disk is not inserted in the drive.
— The inserted disk is unformatted.
DOS button : (Fire-up default) When this button is
ON, the title will be saved in the DOS format. When
this button is OFF, the data will be saved in the DMX-
R100 format.
When loading, or scanning, the button setting
automatically switches to the format of the disk (ON
for DOS format, and OFF for DMX-R100 format.)
Note
• Don't save a title on a DOS formatted floppy disk
where data other than a title exists. The title data may
not be saved correctly on such disks.
When you re-use a disk that has been used on a PC,
initialize the disk in DOS format using the PC, or
initialize it in the DMX-R100 format using the unit,
to erase all the data in the disk, in advance.
• When you access title data saved on a DOS formatted
disk on a PC, you will find that a title consists of the
following six files:
AUTO.DAT: Automation data
CUE.DAT: Cue data
DYLIB.DAT: Dynamics library data
EQLIB.DAT: Equalizer library data
SNAP.DAT: Snapshot data
SYSF.DAT: General data on the title
Never attempt to manipulate the file name of title data
on a PC. If you change, replace or delete a file name
on a PC, the unit will not read the data correctly and a
malfunction may occur.
Notes
• When the titles have been saved in the floppy disk,
titles and their information are displayed. When no
title is saved on the floppy disk, the title list section
and INFORMATION section are blank.
• When data has been saved in 2 or more floppy disks
due to the size of the title, #1 or #2 is attached to the
title name displayed in the NAME box in the
INFORMATION section.
