Scanning a 120GB HD may require two hours to complete.
At the end of the scan, the message should be '
No error
'. If
'
One error
' appears, immediately copy all of your files and
discard the drive. Remember that a hard jolt can force the
heads to crash and scratch the surface resulting in one or
more dead clusters.
If for some reason you must perform an urgent REC while
scanning the internal drive, abort the scan by pressing [esc]
for a few seconds until '
aborted
' is displayed.

Sound-Report – Headers
Eight header items –
FileType, TapeRef, ToneLevel, Sample
rate, Bit-depth, FPS, Date and Media
– are automatically
filled with the recording parameters, while seven others (see
07 to 13 below) carry Operator entered data.
Multiple changes to each header item are allowed per
workday. If one header item changes, a new PDF and ALE
page is started with this information.

inserted in the header before the Operator entered Full Title.

automatically recalled when re-opening the project.
