PD-6 DVD Location Recorder (Chapter 2: Before using the PD-6)
Initial format of a disk
The operation procedure below is assumed that an unused DVD-RAM disk is
set to the PD-6. If you have a disk formatted with FAT32, etc., you can
format it with the similar procedure.
1) While the message “Non-BWF-DVD FMT!” is shown, press the [ENTER] key.
The PD-6 automatically enters the “Format” menu.
When an unused disk is set, the Reel No field is blank and you have to enter a
desired reel number.
2) Select “Reel No” using the [SEL] dial and press the [ENTER] key.
The leftmost digit of the Reel No field starts flashing, showing that now you
can enter a reel number.
3) Enter a desired reel number using the [SEL] dial (or the numeric keys).
For example, you can enter “S001”.
Use the [
SKIP/CURSOR ] keys to move the cursor position.
When using the numeric keys for entering characters, pressing any other
numeric key moves the cursor to the right automatically.
There are two options for the Format mode: “Normal” and “Tape”.
With a disk formatted in the “Normal” mode, each time you make recording,
a new audio file is automatically created.
Meanwhile, when formatting a disk in the “Tape” mode, the whole disk is
formatted as a single file. In other words, a “Tape mode” audio file is
created on a disk.
For details about how to format a disk in the “Tape” mode, see “Formatting
a disk” in “Chapter 8: Utility mode” on page 115.
