If possible, save any open documents before restarting the Avid Media
Processor. If the system does not respond to any input, or if the
debugger screen is displayed, saving might not be possible. Try
pressing k-Option-Esc to quit the program in use when the problem
occurred; if this works, you can then save the documents open in other
programs before restarting.
To restart the Avid Media Processor, try the following steps:
1. If possible, choose Restart from the Special menu or from the
dialog box that is on screen.
2. If Restart cannot be chosen, hold down the Option and Control
keys while you press the Power-on key.
This key combination restarts the Avid Media Processor. (Use this
key combination only when choosing Restart from the Special
menu does not work.)
3. If nothing happens, look for the Reset and Interrupt buttons on the
front of the Avid Media Processor and press the Reset button (see
Figure 4-1
).
Pressing the Reset button is like turning the power switch off and
then on again. You will lose any work you have not saved. (The
Interrupt button is intended for use by programmers who have
debugging software installed.)
4. If pressing the Reset button does nothing, turn off the Avid Media
Processor by using the power switch, wait at least 10 seconds, then
turn it on again.
5. If the power switch does not turn off the Avid Media Processor,
cycle the power sequencer (if equipped) or unplug the Avid Media
Processor.
If you suspect that the problem is with a peripheral device, such as
a printer or external hard drive, turn the peripheral device off for
10 seconds or more, then turn it on again and restart the Avid
Media Processor.
If the problem persists, leave the suspected device powered off.
