manual abstract
To perform real time recording and playback on the FD-8, you need to format the disk (regardless of whether the disk has been used). If you format a used disk, first make sure that the disk does not contain any important data. Formatting a disk erases all existing data. 1 Turn on the power to the connected SCSI drive and the FD-8. If the SCSI connection has been made correctly, the SCSI drive will start running and the display on the FD-8 indicates the [Initial...] (Initialize) message, then the [No Disk] (there is no disk) message. (The following example assumes that a removable SCSI drive is connected. If you have connected an unformatted fixed disk or an optional Fostex 2.5-inch internal hard disk, the [UnFormat !] message appears instead of the [No Disk] message.) _ Initial.. No Disk ........^ EÜE"!ÜLÜf_JÜ Note: Before attempting to load a disk in the SCSI drive, make sure [No Disk] is shown in the FD-8 display. Note: If the [Initial...] message and the [No Drive I] message flash alternately, the FD-8 does not recognized the connected SCSI drive. In this case, turn off the power to both devices. Check to make sure the SCSI cable is connected securely and that the cable is not defective, then turn on the power to both devices. 2 Insert a disk in the SCSI drive. If you insert an unformatted disk or a disk in a different format in the SCSI drive, the FD-8 indicates [UnFormat!] on the display, then shows the [Format ?] (formatting a current drive disk) menu located in Setup mode. At this time, the SCSI ID number for the drive will appear as shown below ([SCSi id-2]), and [SURE ?] flashes. This means that the FD-8 has entered the formatting standby mode.

Save/load is possible only with external SCSI drives. Save/load is not possible with DAT and adat. Save/load is possible with the external SCSI drive, DAT or adat. (*) A.D.A.C. is the next generation digital audio coding technique maximized for multitrack reoording, which has been developed by joint research of Matsushita Electric Industry Corporation and Fostex Corporation. Note: Available recording time varies depending on the disk capacity and type. For actual available time for a particular disk, please refer to the “List of the drives with guaranteed operation” in the Owner’s Manual. Note: To cancel the formatting operation, press the EXIT/NO key before proceeding to Step 5. Each press of the EXIT/NO key will return you to the previous display, and finally exit setup mode. Note: Use only the above [Normal] mode to format removable type disks. Even if it has been formatted by the [Master] mode, sufficient recordable area cannot be obtained. 5 Press and hold down the RECORD button and press the EXECUTE/YES key. When the FD-8 starts formatting, it displays the size of the unformatted area on the disk (e.g.: [-135MB]), and counts down as formatting progresses. Wait a moment. When the FD-8 finishes formatting, it displays [COMPLETED !] and stops accessing the disk (The access LED turns off.). 6 Press the EXIT/NO key to quit the setup mode. The display indicates the top of the program in ABS Time Base ([ABS 00M 00S OOF]), as shown below: (Default: MIDI clock [CLK])
