Protecting The Hard Disk - Fostex MR16 Owner's Manual

MR16
Owner's Manual (Data export to a personal computer)
The MR16 internal hard disk is protected by default.
The protection is effective only in the USB mode in which the MR16 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 108, if you transfer
song data from a computer to the MR16 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.
2) Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select "USB "
on the second page, and press the
[MENU/ENTER] knob.
The display now shows the USB menu screen,
where " Back" is highlighted.
3) Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to highlight "Disk
Protect=**", and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.
The current setting (the default is "On")
flashes.

between the MR16 and a computer in both
ways.
The disk is "read only" (protected).
On
You can transfer data only from the MR16
to a computer (default setting).
5) Press the [STOP] key to exit the menu mode.
<Note>: When you enter the USB mode while the
disk protection is disabled, the screen as below is
shown. In this condition, the hard disk is " read/
write enabled " and you can bi-directionally trans-
fer song data between a computer and the MR16.
