Creating A "Normal Mode" Audio File On A Disk Formatted In The Tape Mode - Fostex DV40 Operation Manual

Creating a "Normal mode" audio file on a disk formatted in the Tape mode

Two "Tape mode" audio files of approximately 2.0GB size are created on a disk formatted in the Tape
mode, spending 4GB disk space. Therefore, in the remaining 0.7GB space, you can create "Normal mode"
audio files.
1. While a "Tape mode" audio file is selected, press the [FILE SEL] key.
The current "Tape mode" file number flashes.
2. Rotate the [JOG] dial to show "New File?" with the flashing file number.
Depending on whether you change the [AUDIO FILE] switch setting or not before pressing the [FILE
SEL] key, the file number shown is different.
The following assumes that the current "Tape mode" file is "BWF".
• When the [AUDIO FILE] switch is not changed (set to "BWF"):
"003" is shown, because a new "Normal mode" file is the third "BWF" file on the disk.
• When the [AUDIO FILE] switch is changed (set to "SDII"):
"001" is shown, because a new "Normal mode" file is the first "SDII" file on the disk.
3. Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
A new "Normal mode" file is created.
Tips:
If more than one "Normal mode" audio file is created on a disk formatted in the Tape mode and any "Normal
mode" audio file is currently selected, you can make recording in either the "NEW FILE" or "INSERT mode".
• To select a desired audio file in the disk formatted in the Tape mode
Follow the same procedure as describe in "Selecting a desired file on a disk" on page 4-9.
<Note>
When loading a disk formatted in the Tape mode to the disk tray, the " 001 " audio file with the same type as
[AUDIO FILE] switch setting (BWF or SDII) is selected.
For example, if you load a disk which contains both " Tape mode " BWF and " Normal mode " SDII files, with the
[AUDIO FILE] switch set to " SDII ", the latter is selected.
