Erasing Cd-Rw Media - Yamaha AW2816 Owner's Manual

• NORMAL ............ Execute normal formatting.
Since the disk will be
checked for faulty sectors
while formatting is per-
formed, some time will be
required for the operation to
be completed.
• QUICK ................ Formatting will be executed
without checking for faulty
sectors. This is convenient
when you want to erase the
disk and use it immediately.
(However, faulty sectors may
remain, so this is not recom-
mended if you will be mak-
ing important recordings.)
E
File system select
Move the cursor to this area and turn the [DATA/
JOG] dial to select which of the following two file
systems will be used for formatting.
• ORIGINAL .......... Format the media with the
AW2816's own file system.
Select this if you will be using
the drive as a song backup
destination.
• FAT16.................. Format the media using a file
system used mainly by the
Windows operating system.
Select this if you will be using
the drive to transfer WAV files
between the AW2816 and a
computer.
Be sure that the appropriate file system is selected
before you format an external hard disk or MO disk. It
is not possible to switch the file system after format-
ting.

Tip!
This setting affects only how audio data is imported
from CD. (For other purposes, reading will automati-
cally occur at the fastest speed supported by the CD-
RW drive.) Normally you should set this to the fastest
speed supported by your CD-RW drive.
G
WRITE SPEED
Use the x1, x2, x4, and x6 buttons to select the
speed at which data will be written (single speed/
double speed/quad speed/6x speed).
Tip!
This setting affects the writing speed at which song
data is backed up on a CD-RW drive, exported to a
WAV file, or written to an audio CD. Normally you
should set this to the fastest speed supported by your
CD-RW drive.
H
CD-RW MEDIA ERASE
Select one of the following two methods by which
the CD-RW media will be erased.
• SIMPLY................ Only the TOC (Table Of Con-
tents) of the CD-RW media
will be erased. With this
method, the erasure will hap-
pen relatively quickly.
• PERFECTLY .......... Erase all data from the CD-
RW media. With this method,
a certain amount of time will
be required for the erasure to
be completed.
Executing the Erase operation with either method will
cause the data on the CD-RW media to be lost forever.
Use this operation with caution.
