LOCKED
if desired. The only time that media will be ejected from a
LOCKED
unit is when the media is defective and cannot be recorded.
To
UNLOCK
the machine, simply enter the password on the keypad. You must press the
correct 8 digits in the correct sequence; all other key-presses are ignored.
5-13.2 Operations Available During Record With The Idle Drive Selected.
GoTo
You may search and play current or archive media in the Ready drive. Be
sure that archive media is write-protected to avoid the risk of accidentally
recording over it. Instructions for performing a search function are covered in
detail later on in paragraph 5-18.
PrepMedia
(Prepare media) accesses the formatting routine. New media or previously
recorded media can be formatted on the ready drive without stopping the
record process on the other drive or the internal hard disk. (Note: It is not
necessary to reformat the media to reuse it.)
Resume
When you have completed your review of the current or the archive media,
you can continue recording on the current media by using the
Resume
soft
key. When non-write-protected media is inserted in a drive, the
Resume
key
acts just like the
Record
transport key except that it will automatically run the
media to the end of the data area first. Thus, it will append data to the media
instead of recording over it from the beginning. (If the media has been
recorded beyond the
Almost Full
point,
Resume
will give you a message
and exit.) If you hit the
Record
transport key instead of resume, the VR240
will ask if you wish to resume.
5-13.3 Operations Available During Record With The Internal Hard Disk Selected
Playback
: The VR240’s hard disk provides full record buffering and playback
simultaneously. Therefore, you may search and play material from the hard
disk while it continues to record and transfer data as normal. Use the
Drive
soft key to select the internal hard disk. The top line of the display will read
“DISK: Ready.” Press the
>
(next) soft key, then press the
Playback
soft
key.
The transport keys will be active while playing from any of the locations listed
below. You will find that the VR240 reacts to the Play, Pause, Fast Forward,
Rewind and Stop commands in a way that is very similar to the reel-to-reel
recorders you are accustomed to. You also have available advanced
playback options like Scan, Next Message, and Search.
To play messages stored in the Record Buffer, a Save Message Buffer, or
the Clipboard. Press the
Playback
soft key then use the
Previous
and
Next
soft keys to scroll through the options listed below. Finally, press the
Select
soft key. After a moment, the VR240 will return to the Playback menu. Press
the
Play
transport key to begin playing.
