will be displayed. For instance, in the DD/MM/YY

4. Once the correct number is flashing, press F3 or FF
to move the flashing digit to the right.

and time.
6. Press F2 to finish the setup.

DATE AND TIME CONFIRMATION

1. Press the DISPLAY button repeatedly until the time
is displayed:
CLOCK 10:24:00
2. Pressing DISPLAY again shows the date:
DATE 02/01/00

TIME STAMP DATA CONFIRMATION

When the PORTADISC plays back a disc that has a time
stamp, the time stamp data will be displayed as follows:
1. Press DISPLAY three times during playback to
recall the time of the recording.
2. The stamped time is displayed on the clock display
page, showing minutes and seconds. The 2-digit
number after the '/' symbol indicates the MD
recorder manufacturer – this is 30 for the
PORTADISC.
CLOCK 10:24/30
The stamped date is displayed in the DATE menu
when DISPLAY is pressed once more:
DATE 02/01/00
NOTE – Recorded clock and date information is not
available until the Table of Contents (TOC) has been
updated. This update only occurs when a disc is
ejected.

INITIALISING

If functions on the PORTADISC behave abnormally at any
time, it is a good idea to initialise the unit.

INITIALISING PROCEDURE

press POWER to turn the power on while
simultaneously holding down the F1 and F2 buttons.
