Formatting
To format a drive:
1. Make sure the drive to be formatted is connected to the recorder and note which drive num-
ber it is.
2. Open Setup Menu option
[File Storage - Erase/Re-format]
.
3.
Choose the
Erase/Re-format: Drive Number
for the drive to be formatted or
Erase/Re-format: All Drives
option.
4. A confirmation dialog will appear: “All data will be erased. Continue?”. Use the Control
Knob to select
OK
.
5. Use the displayed on-screen keyboard (or an external USB keyboard, if attached) to enter a
volume label for the drive, and then use the Control Knob to select
OK
to initiate the format.
When formatting all drives at once, the volume label is applied to all drives but each drive
will be suffixed with a dash character and drive number to distinguish between drives.
Drive formatting can alternatively be initiated from PIXNET under the File Storage menu.

the File List.

begin writing a new file after the file size limit has been reached. The beginning of this new file will
be seamless to the ending of the previous file. The default file size is 4GB. This can be reduced to 2
GB in
[File Storage - Wave File Split every].
