Format External Disk

Before a new disk can be used, it must be formatted. Format is also a fast way to erase all the

material on a disk in order to re-use it.

Note that the Iomega Tools disks that come with some Zip Drives are not compatible with

Instant Replay and will not format.

To format a disk:

• Insert the disk into the drive

• Press MENU

• Select OPERATIONS using the SCROLL ARROW keys

• Press ENTER

• Select FORMAT EXT DRIVE using the SCROLL ARROW keys

• The display shows:

FORMAT & ERASE DISK?

PRESS ENTER/CANCEL

• Press ENTER, then PLAY. The display will show:

FORMATTING DISK

PLEASE WAIT

• When the display returns to FORMAT EXT DRIVE then press MENU to exit.

You can now perform Copy operations from the Internal Drive to the External Drive. To record

on or play from the External Drive, or Copy from External to Internal Drive, you must first select

the External Drive as described below.

Selecting the External or Internal Drive

• Press the BANK SELECT button.

• The I and the E Keys light up along with the NUMERIC (Bank Number) keys. The "I"

key lights continuously to indicate that the Internal Drive is the currently selected

drive, The "E" key flashes to indicate that it can be selected. (If the External Drive is

the active drive, the "E" key lights continuously and the "I" key flashes.)

• Press the “E” Key (HOT-KEY 13) to select the External Drive.

• Press the “I” Key (HOT-KEY 18) to select the Internal Drive.

Instant Replay immediately logs on to the selected Drive and turns off BANK SELECT.

• An alternate method is to press MENU and SCROLL to OPERATIONS. Press ENTER.

• SCROLL to SELECT EXT DRIVE (The menu item will read SELECT INT DRIVE if the

External drive is selected). Press ENTER.

Initially, the display will indicate that no cuts are available if a newly formatted disk is in the

drive. Once some cuts are recorded or copied to the disk, the display will look the same as when

the Internal drive is selected, except that there will be a small “E” after the Cut Index Number:
