DVD Multitrack Recorder DV824

When recording to an audio file on a partition of the Model 9057 optional hard disk
drive, the auto copy function automatically copies the same audio file to a DVD-RAM
disk. You can select the auto copy mode between the following two auto copy modes.

Auto copy function

(the optional Model 9057 required)

Immediately mode

Background mode

Copy recording to a DVD-RAM disk is executed simultaneously when recording to a
hard disk partition.
The recording size of a take is limited to the capacity of the hard disk partition or
DVD-RAM disk.

: In this mode, if no DVD-RAM disk is set, the DV824 cancels the auto copy
mode and returns to the normal recording mode.

Immediately after the DV824 ends recording to the partition and stops, the copy
starts.
In this mode, even if no DVD-RAM disk is set when starting recording, you can start
copying by setting a disk later.

: If you turn off the DV824 before setting a DVD-RAM disk, the copy data is
erased.

While the auto copy mode is "On" and a DVD-RAM disk is set to the DVD-RAM

drive, if the partition you are going to record to is formatted in the "DDR" mode (for dual
drive recording), dual recording takes priority to auto copy.

Editing the name or meta data of the file on the partition does not reflect to the

data on the DVD-RAM disk.

Selecting auto copy mode

The following procedure is assumed that a recordable DVD-RAM disk is set to the
DVD-RAM drive.

Select a partition to which audio data is recorded.

By pressing the [SHIFT] key to turn on the [SHIFT] indicator followed by the
[FILE SEL/

DRV/PAT

] key, the display shows the "DRIVE SEL" screen.

In this screen, "DVD" represents the DVD-RAM drive, while "PT01" through "PT08"
represent the hard disk partitions.

By using the [MENU] dial to select the desired partition and pressing the [ENTER/
YES] key, the display changes to show the Home screen for the selected partition.
If no file is recorded to the partition, "-No files!-" is shown as below.

The optional hard disk drive is formatted when it is installed by the

Fostex service section, and divided into eight partitions. Each partition reserves
4.7GB recording space.
