* Output signal options: [AdAt], [dAT], [SCSi id-6]
* Program options: P01 - P99 (an individual Program)
* Track options: When using an adat or DAT: tracks 1–8,
tracks 1–16, Tracks 1–24;
When using a SCSI disk: All tracks will be
automatically selected.

8. Press the EXIT/NO key to exit SETUP mode.
The FD-8 displays ABS 0 of the Program on the current

Note:
The backup data will use the number of the saved
Program. (e.g., if you save P01 [#0001 data, the backup data
will be named as B01[#0001.) You cannot edit the title of the
backup data.
The above procedure assumes that the saved data size is
smaller than the available space of the backup disk. You can
use only one backup disk. To save data larger than a single
backup disk, refer to the next <Memo> for information on
saving data using multiple backup disks.
