We do not recommend that recording is carried out while the background format is carried out, to avoid the possibility of attempting recording on an unformatted part of the disc.
We strongly recommend that you use discs exclusively with the DV-RA1000 and do not use discs which have been used on a computer, or for any other purpose.
Adding a new project
As a disc can contain more than one project, you can also use the menu system to create a project on a disc that has already been formatted, and contains a project. 1 Press MENU and use the wheel and ENTER to select the DVD menu. From there, select the PROJECT sub-menu. 2 Highlight CREATE and press ENTER. This brings up the screen allowing you to enter the name and properties of a project, as described in the previous section.
Adding notes to a project
Add notes on artists, recording details, etc. to a project. Unlike a written disc insert or tape label, these notes will always stay with the disc! You can enter up to 1000 characters for session notes, etc. 1 Press MENU and use the wheel and ENTER to select the DVD menu. From there, select the PROJECT sub-menu. 2 Highlight the PROJECT TEXT sub-menu and press
ENTER.
3 Use the soft keys and wheel (or an attached PS/2 keyboard) to enter the text (�The DVRA1000 has two types of �home screen�, depending on whether a CD or DVD disc is being used.� on page 14). You can add more lines to the notes than you can see on screen and scroll up and down to view them. 4 Press and hold ENTER for a second or so, to store the project text (brief presses of ENTER add a carriage return). Press and hold CANCEL to exit without saving (brief presses of CANCEL act as a delete key).
NOTE
Remember that this text will not be stored on disc until you write the UDFMI (see �Important note on the file system� on page 31). Figure 5.3: Adding notes to a project
Changing the current project
1 Press MENU and use the wheel and ENTER to select the DVD menu. From there, select the PROJECT sub-menu. 2 Highlight the OPEN sub-menu to show a list of the names of all projects on the disc, together with their sampling frequencies. The current project is shown with an arrow beside the name.
Figure 5.4: Loading a project
3 Use the wheel to move the cursor to the project to be loaded, and press ENTER. The selected project is then loaded (the sampling frequency is automatically changed).
