Press the
Menu
soft key, then the
>
soft key, for access to these additional features:
ActvSumry
(Activity summary) Transmits a summary of record channel activity to the
optional status printer (if the unit has been configured to use the status
printer). Please refer to Appendix F for information on this feature.
TimeAdj
(Time Adjustment) Use this to “spring ahead” the internal clock at daylight
savings time. DO NOT USE this to “fall back” unless you have removed the
recording media and stored it away. Setting the time “back” seriously
disrupts the index process of the media and prevents you from searching
both the drive and the internal hard disk for that period of time. Eventide
recommends that you do not change the clock for daylight savings time. If
you set the clock ahead in the spring, you may have trouble in the fall.
Setting the clock back will result in two hour-long sections of media with the
same time, making searching difficult.
ChangDrv
(Change drive) tells the unit to switch to the second drive without waiting until
the normal end of recording on the first drive. If you press this button when
there is no media available to change to, the message “Cannot swap
recording drive at this time” is briefly displayed. This option will not be
displayed if you are in Dual Record mode.
Lock
Under the
Controls
menu,
Lock
lets you prevent access to all functions
except Instant Recall. You are asked to
Enter Password:
which is an eight-
digit number, either “00000000”, or your password.
Keypad Entry:
If you enter the correct digits, the unit will be locked and the
controls rendered inaccessible until the same eight digits are re-entered, at
which time
Lock
is canceled.
If you do not enter the correct digits, the message
Password incorrect-
Keyboard NOT Locked
is briefly displayed.
Cancel
: Hitting this key cancels the locking process and drops back to the
main record menu after briefly displaying
Lock Canceled – Keyboard NOT
Locked
.
While the unit is locked, it will continue recording normally, providing media
continues to be available. You can tell that the unit is locked because the
legend “Locked” appears along the top row of the VFD display. If a drive is
not loaded, media can be inserted. It cannot, however, be removed.
NOTE
If the unit is
LOCKED
and set to
Do NOT record over…
, media will not
be ejected when it is fully recorded. This is true even though it normally
would be ejected based on the setting of the
Config/System/Media
Usage
menu. In order to continue recording, a person who knows the
password must
UNLOCK
the unit, remove the media by selecting the
drive and then pressing the
Eject
transport key, and either reinsert or
insert new media as desired. Afterward, the unit may again be
