Init Disk Prepares one side of a preformatted optical disk for 
storage and retrieval. You must initialize each side of an 
optical disk before using it for the first time.
When you initialize or format a disk, you are always 
prompted with a window to select the target device, 
regardless of whether Enable Optical is on.
CAUTION: The SONOS system hard disk is initialized 
before shipment. Do not initialize the SONOS hard disk 
unless a Philips Service Representative asks you to do 
so. Initializing the SONOS hard disk erases all 
information on the disk.
List Files Shows the names of files and studies stored on the 
current side of the inserted optical disk or the IDI hard 
disk.
Loop Display When the Loop control is on, an image from the optical 
or hard disk is displayed on the screen. Touch Loop 
Display or 2D to return to live imaging.
Manual Entry/
System Generate
Lets you select the disk storage comment. In Disk Setup 
under Comment Options, the comment can be set to 
System Generate, Manual Entry, or an exam type.
Rebuild Database Allows you to choose whether to reconcile or rebuild 
the database on the hard disk or optical drive.
The Reconcile option scans the database for the studies 
that are supposed to exist on the disk. If a study no 
longer exists on the disk, the study is removed from the 
database. The Reconcile option is quick, since the 
entire disk does not need to be scanned.
The Rebuild option scans the entire disk looking for 
studies and images, and creates a new database with 
references to each study and image found on the disk. 
The Rebuild option can be time consuming, since the 
entire disk must be scanned.
