Model FD-4
Ownerís Manual Supplement
By updating the software to V1.10, the FD-4 save/load functions will be extended. In
addition to the current save/load functions using a DAT, saving/loading song data
to/from either a removable or fixed external SCSI drive is possible.
In accordance with the above improvement, a new menu [Bk Format ?] which for-
mats the diskette for backup purpose is newly added in the SETUP mode.
In this supplement, the way to save/load song data using an external SCSI drive
and [Bk Format ?] are only mentioned. For save/load function using a DAT and
other SETUP mode, please refer to the original FD-4 Ownerís Manual.

As indicated below, saving/loading song data procedures using a SCSI backup drive differ from that using a DAT.
Saving/Loading Song Data using SCSI Drive
Following about five seconds of pilot signal (shown in gray in the diagram below), song data in the current drive is
output to a connected DAT. Two tracks of audio data (shown in black in the diagram) are output. To save data from
Real tracks 1-4, two-track data will be output twice, which takes twice as much time as the song duration (ABS 0 to
REC END). To save all data including Additional tracks 5-6, two-track data will be output three times, which takes
three times the song duration. Save data is also loaded two tracks at a time.
Using a DAT (S/P DIF digital signal) (Saving/Loading individual Program data: only in Mastering mode)
DAT tape
All Real Track data and Additional track data is output simultaneously to a SCSI disk as shown in black in the
diagram. Therefore, saving and loading a Program takes much less relative to a DAT. No pilot signal or beep is
recorded. If the available disk space is smaller than the song data size, you may use multiple disks (up to 99 disks)
to save and load an entire song.

The FD-4 with updated software allows you to connect a backup SCSI drive in addition to the current SCSI drive at the same
time. For those who use the SCSI drive as the current drive, referring to the diagram below, connect the two SCSI drives in chain
regardless of the connection order.
When connecting the two SCSI drives, set the SCSI ID number as listed below. Also be sure to attach a terminator on the second
SCSI drive to terminate the SCSI chain. For your information, the backup SCSI drives which can be used on the FD-4 are listed
in the <List of SCSI drive and media checked for function> in the first page of original ownerís manual.

For those who use an optional 2.5î internal hard disk drive, saving and loading song data is realized by simply connecting a
backup SCSI drive shown below. As mentioned before, the ID number for backup SCSI drive must be set to ì6î and attach the
terminator .

Saving/loading data using a SCSI drive as the current drive
This section explains how to save and load data between a current SCSI drive (removable or fixed) and a backup SCSI drive.
Turn off the power of all the connected devices before you make connections.

SCSI drive connection and preparation
<Title of data to be saved to a backup SCSI disk>
Data recorded in the current drive has a name, such as
Program 1 or Program 2. (These titles appear abbrevi-
ated, such as [P01], [P02].)
On the other hand, a backup disk manages data using
different titles, such as Backup 1 or Backup 2. (These
appear abbreviated, such as [B01] or [B02] on the dis-
play.)
For example, Program 1 (P01) on the current drive disk
is saved as Backup 1 (B01) for the backup disk.
Connect your backup SCSI drive to the SCSI connector
on the current drive. Be sure to attach a terminator on the
second SCSI drive to terminate the SCSI chain regardless
of connection order.
Be sure to set the ID number for the backup SCSI drive to
ì6î. Also be sure to set the ID number for the current
drive to an elective one among ì1 through 5î.
Prepare the disk recorded as the current drive and a backup
disk (unformatted at this stage).

Unlike the save/load operation using a DAT, you cannot abort the save/load operation that uses a SCSI drive
while in process. Nor can you monitor audio data during operation. Also, you cannot load data to a disk
formatted in a recording mode that differs from that on the backup disk. For example, you cannot load data
from a backup disk in Normal mode to a disk in Mastering mode.
Note:
