CHAPTER FIVE – Maintenance and Disk Operations
FORMAT DISK
The Format Disk option is only available through a special "power-on" sequence. This option will
erase the entire contents of Instant Replay's internal hard disk. It is essential to back up the
contents of your hard drive using the D-NET File Transfer or Backup/Restore procedures detailed
in Chapter 4 before beginning the Format Disk operation.
During FORMAT DISK, if you wait too long to select an option, Instant Replay will "time out",
aborting the Format Disk operation.
CAUTION!
FORMAT DISK WILL PERMANENTLY ERASE THE CONTENTS OF THE HARD DISK AND
WILL RESET ALL MENU ITEMS TO THEIR ORIGINAL DEFAULT VALUES.
AFTER COMPLETING THE FORMAT DISK OPERATION, YOU MUST TURN POWER OFF,
THEN ON AGAIN, TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION.
IF AT ANY TIME THE DEFRAGMENTATION PROCESS IS ABORTED, YOU MUST RECYCLE
POWER (TURN THE MACHINE OFF, THEN BACK ON AGAIN) TO ENSURE PROPER
OPERATION.
To Format the Disk
1. Turn Instant Replay's power switch OFF.
2. While holding down the STOP button, turn power ON. The display will prompt:
FORMAT & ERASE DISK?
PRESS ENTER/CANCEL
3. Press ENTER to proceed, or CANCEL to abort. If you press ENTER, the display will
prompt:
PRESS PLAY TO FORMAT
PRESS CANCEL TO QUIT
4. Press PLAY to continue. The display will prompt:
FORMATTING DISK
PLEASE WAIT
After the formatting operation is complete, the display will show the initializing message, then
will indicate NO CUTS AVAILABLE. At this point, you may:
Press MENU and reset default options to the desired values.
Press RECORD and begin recording new material.
Press MENU, select the FILE TRANSFER Menu, then select RESTORE FROM BACKUP.
Audio material previously backed up to DAT may now be restored to the hard drive.
