2. Turning the power on/
off when an external
drive is connected
■ Turning the power on
✧ Turn on the power of the external drive(s), and
then turn on the power of the D8.
■ Turning the power off
✧ When turning the power off, first turn off the
power of the D8, and then turn off the power of the
external drives.
However if the currently selected song is on a remov-
able disk drive, turning off the power of the D8 when
the disk is still in the drive will make it impossible to
remove the disk even if you press the eject key of the
removable disk drive. As necessary, remove the disk
as follows before you turn off the power.
If the currently selected song is not on a removable
disk drive, you can press the eject key of the
removable disk drive to remove the disk.
1 Press and hold the [ ] and [ ] keys to get the
“Eject
→✽?” display which asks whether you wish
to eject a disk (✽ is the SCSI ID A–G of the drive).
2 If you wish to eject the disk, press and hold the
[ ] key for approximately one second. The disk
will be ejected, and the display will read “Next/
PwOff”, telling you that you may either insert the
next disk or turn off the power.
3 Turn off the power as described above (✧).
3. Initializing and format-
ting a drive
Here’s how you can initialize or format a con-
nected external drive. Select Initialize when you
have purchased a drive or when you wish to com-
pletely erase the contents of the drive. Select For-
mat when you wish to use a disk that was
previously used by another device, or when a Disk
Error display begins to appear frequently during
playback etc.
When you initialize or format, all data that had
been saved on that disk will be lost. Before you ini-
tialize or format, check to make sure that you actu-
ally want to do this.
1 Press the [EDIT] key, and then press the [SYSTEM]
key several times to make the display read “Dis-
kUtil”.
2 Press the [ ] key, and then press the [SYSTEM]
key several times to make the display read “Ini-
tial”.
3 Press the [ ] key, and then rotate the [VALUE]
dial to select the drive number (SCSI ID A–G) that
you wish to initialize or format. When you select a
drive number, the drive type “HD” (hard disk) or
“RM” (removable disk) will appear beside the
drive number.
4 If you are sure that you wish to initialize or format
the disk, press and hold the [ ] key for approxi-
mately one second. While the operation is being
executed, the display will indicate “Working”.
When the operation is finished, the display will
indicate “Completed”. Press the [ ] key to restore
the previous display.
