Model D2424LVmkII Reference Manual (Formatting and Optimizing Disks)
Optimizing the disk
If you are using a disk that was formatted with the Multiple Undo function turned on, free disk space becomes
smaller quickly because the disk always keeps the Multiple Undo files. Optimizing such a disk (using the “Disk
Optimize?” menu in Setup mode) will increase free block space.
<Notes>
• After you record multiple takes, if you optimize the disk (with the Multiple Undo function turned on), you will
be able to undo only the most recent take. Therefore, if you wish to keep some takes, perform the Multiple Undo
function or use the Program duplicate function to restore the take, then optimize the disk. For more information,
see “
Multiple Undo Function
” on page
69
.
• After executing a format conversion via the “
Additional track format conversion
” menu in the SETUP mode, the
recorder will automatically enter the “
Disk Optimize?
” menu.
Therefore, we recommended that you optimize the disk immediately after format conversion. By optimizing,
the multiple undo history of tracks 25-56 will be erased and disk memory space may increase. For details on
additional track format conversion, refer to page “
127
.”
