Folder to Mirror button
The currently selected folder is displayed above it.
Pressing it displays the Mirror Folders page {p.125}.
Start Seg button
The first segment to be archived is displayed above it. The setting is automatically updated when a disc is inserted.
If the Deva sees segment 5 is already on the disc, the Start Seg button is set to 6.
Pressing it opens the Segment number data entry field, allowing you to enter the first segment to mirror.
NOTE: A quick method to ensure your disc is readable is to eject and re-insert your mirrored disc after you are
finished mirroring. Then check that the Deva recognizes the format and the Start Seg button is set to 1 past
the last recorded segment.
End Seg button
The last segment to be archived is displayed above it. In most cases, the End Seg button can be left at 999.

Mirror Mode button
The currently selected mode is displayed above it.
Pressing it enables / disables the 'Mirroring' process, which writes the audio to the selected mirror device. Once it
is turned On, it immediately starts the mirror process.
Off – Disables the mirror process.
On-NORMAL – Enables the mirror process, but only while not recording.
On-CONTIN. – (continuous) Enables the mirror process. If adequate resources are available, it will continue
while recording the audio.
IMPORTANT: You must set the mirroring parameters before you turn On mirroring. Do not change folders
while mirroring is turned On. Doing so can cause the mirroring process to skip files or cause the Deva to
stop responding.
IMPORTANT: You must turn Off mirroring to change any of the parameters. When the mirror process is
active, all other buttons are disabled until the mirroring process has completed.
NOTE: If you select On-CONTIN. and start recording, the Disk icon color, on the Home page {p.35}), will
shift between Green and Red, indicating the mirror process is running and pausing.
