Hitting
MakeIndex
gives you three choices,
Complete, Fast,
and
Quit
. It also displays a
message,
INDEX UPPER: (LOWER:)
and, if the media has a valid index,
Already has a valid
index.
Of course, if you see the
valid index
message, you should hit
Quit.
Complete
recreates the index just as it would be created if the media were actually
being recorded. Nothing is left out. In order to do this, however, the entire
media must be read, byte by byte, to ascertain channel activity in each
media block.
Fast
saves time by only indexing the beginning and ending of each media
block. This prevents the necessity of reading every byte on the media.
However, it does not pick up information about which channels have been
recorded in each block. For this reason, you cannot search using the
channel number option unless the
Complete
index has been created.
Quit
cancels the
MakeIndex
operation.
Both
Copy
and
MakeIndex
recreate the index of a media whose index is bad or missing.
(
Copy
, of course recreates it on the destination media.) Because
Copy
can be performed on a
media that is write protected, while
MakeIndex
operates on the original media, you might prefer
to use the former on an archival media to protect it from accidental damage. While damage is
unlikely, the indexing operation is usually being performed on a “problem” media and it is
impossible to guarantee that nothing will go wrong.
5-22. PLAY BACK FROM THE HARD DISK.
You may search and play the previous 550 or more channel hours (depending on the size of
your internal hard disk) without interrupting the record process. While you are playing, the
Record
transport key will blink.

Drive
soft key until “Disk: Ready” appears on the top line of the display. You
have now selected the internal hard disk for playback. Press the

(next) soft key.

soft key.
