4. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The number of the Program set up on the current drive
flashes on the display.
5. Use the JOG dial to select a Program into which to
load data.

enables you to select [01] or [02]. If you select [02], “PGM”
of [Load PGM] and [New] flash alternately.
This means that a new Program (P02) should be set up
before you execute the load operation. (If multiple
Programs exist in the current drive disk, turn the JOG
dial to select a Program from these Programs plus one
new Program.)
6. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The FD-8 displays the track selection screen.
You can change the value of a flashing number.

Options are Tr 1–8, Tr 1–16 (Real track 1–8 and

Additional track 9–24). In this example, select Tr 1–8.
8. Press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The FD-8 enters “load standby” mode and displays the
following.
[DIGITAL] lights up and [SURE ?] flashes.
9. Make sure that [DIGITAL] lights up steadily, and
press the EXECUTE/YES key.
The FD-8 displays the following, indicating “Start
playing the DAT!” If you are using an adat, [Play AdAt]
flashes.
Flashing [DIGITAL] indicates that signal is not input from
the digital device (DAT or adat) correctly. Check the con-
nections.
10. Start playing the DAT (or adat).
Start playing the tape from a point slightly prior to the
top of the Program data.
The FD-8 reads the recorded pilot signal, then
automatically starts loading data. (Wait a while until the
following indication appears.)
The FD-8 displays the track numbers being loaded and
the total time of the Program. The time value starts
counting down as the load operation progresses.
The RECORD RACK LEDs for tracks 1 and 2 flash, and
level meters 1 and 2 indicate the level of signal input
from the DAT. (All RECORD RACK LEDs flash and level
meters 1–8 indicate the level of signal input from an adat.)
* You can load data using the “Load PGM ?” menu in
SETUP mode. The following procedure assumes that
the current drive disk (2.5-inch internal hard disk)
does not contain any recordings, and that Program 1
(P01) has been set up on the disk.
