9. Repeat steps #6 through #8 above as many times as necessary, following
the prompts on the display.
The number of times the above steps need to be repeated depends
on the amount of data to be copied and the disk type. (2DD type
disks may take 2 to 16 repetitions; 2HD disks may take 2 to 31
repetitions.)
When the operation is finished, the “REMAIN” counter in the
display will show “0” briefly before returning to the original
UTILITY page.
Checking the Remaining Memory
The amount of memory available for additional recording is displayed in the REMAIN section in
the CONTROL PANEL page (during recording or recording standby only). It is also displayed in
the UTILITY page. The maximum amount of memory is 712 for 2DD disks and 1422 for 2HD
disks.
Copy Protect
Some of the Disks available for the AR-80 are purposely protected from being copied or erased.
You cannot save the data to another floppy disk. If you try to load data from such a “copy-
protected” disk to the AR-80, an error message will appear in the display.
Important M.D.R. Error Messages
An error message may appear if
an error occurs in the middle of
the operation. If this happens,
try formatting the destination
disk and attempt the operation
again.
Make sure to follow the display
prompts closely, taking special
care not to mix up the disks.
Inserting the wrong disk may
damage the disk and possibly
the disk drive.
CAUTION
Disk error!
Cannot continue.
An error occurred during reading from or writing to a disk. Try changing the disk.
Message Problem and Possible Solution
An error occurred because the disk was removed during a disk operation
(recording, playback, etc.). Never remove a disk during a disk operation since this
could damage both the disk and the drive.
This appears when the Song Copy operation is attempted on a disk that has no
empty songs. Delete one or more unneeded songs (using Song Delete), and
attempt the copy operation again.
The inserted disk cannot be used, because it is either unformatted or of an
incompatible format. Format the disk (using Disk Format) or insert a properly
formatted disk.
The disk operation cannot be performed, because the write-protect tab of the disk
is set to the “protect” position. Remove the disk, set write-protect to off, reinsert the
disk and attempt the operation again.
The disk’s memory capacity is full and no additional data can be recorded. Delete
one or more unneeded songs (using Song Delete), and attempt the operation
again.
