DVD-RAM formatting (auto-UDF 1.5)
Cantar can record onto FAT32 DVD-RAMs but for Mac/
PC interchangability, it only offers to format them under
UDF
1.5.
Instructions:
please read completely before proceeding
1
With Cantar powered, go to SESSION.04 ‘Disk
Format’, press [ok], ‘
Shift+Red
’ is displayed.
2
Insert a DVD-RAM in either the external or internal burner.
Before the 'one-platter' icon is displayed, press [shift] [red]
together. Keep them pressed until the ‘
Formatting
’ message
is displayed on the rectangular screen.

'
Done
’ will be displayed when the format has finished.
The 'one-platter' icon appears on the right circular screen to
indicate the DVD-RAM is ready for use. Go to STOP.
note:
To work with a DVD-RAM on a Mac, see p.42. To play
it on a DV40/824, contact Aaton.
05 Scan HDD
Int.HDD Ext.HDD
Scanning an 80GB HDD 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 disk. Remember that a hard jolt can force
the disk 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 disk, abort the scan by pressing [esc]
for a few seconds until ‘
aborted
’ is displayed.
06 Del. Access
No Yes
This opens access to file deletion. To reduce disk frag-
mentation, file deletion only works on full workdays. Use
a laptop to perform the
not recommended
erasure of indi-
vidual files...
Select ‘
Day to Del
’ The cursor (black triangle) moves to the
bottom, [jog] to select the day to be deleted, then [ok]. The
bottom line will display ‘
ScanningDay
’, then the cursor goes
back to ‘
Day
to Del
’. [jog] to ‘
Del Int.HDD
’ or ‘
Del Ext.
HDD
’ then [ok]. [jog] to ‘
Yes nnnMB
’, then [ok]. Once the
files have been deleted, ‘
No Files Found
’ is momentarily
displayed, then the bottom line changes to ‘
No 0.0MB
’.
[ok] returns to ‘
Day to Del
’, [esc] goes back to SESSION.01
‘ProjectName’ where another project can be selected.
