Compact Flash and USB media can be safely inserted
and removed at any time with two exceptions; the
CF card should not be removed during playback or
recording, and USB media should not be removed
during file operations involving the USB media.
The act of opening the Compact Flash slot door will
cause the HD-R1 to automatically dismount the CF
card unless the HD-R1 is playing or recording. In this
case, the HD-R1 will display “
Close the CF
door or press STOP
”. Removing the CF
card during recording will almost certainly result in
the loss of some data. If you need to remove the card
in this case, simply press
STOP
, then remove the CF
card.
USB Media is only used by the
Copy Files
and
Delete Files
features. It is mounted
immediately prior to a file operation and dismounted
when the file operation has completed. Simply wait
for the file operation to complete before removing the
USB Media.
The HD-R1 has a 192x32 pixel, backlit LCD display.
Depending on operating angle, ambient light,
temperature, and other factors, you may need to adjust
the display contrast. Display settings are remembered
even after you power-down the HD-R1.
Pressing
SHIFT
and
CANCEL
keys simultaneously is
a quick way to access the
Adjust Contrast
screen. Use the
SHUTTLE/DATA
wheel to adjust the
screen contrast to your liking, then press
CANCEL
or
SHIFT
to exit.
Press the
PLAY
key and playback starts from the
current transport location. There are several Play
Settings which determine the order and manner that
tracks are played. The
MODE
key will cycle through
the four main playback modes:
All
,
Single
,
Folder
and
Playlist
. Simultaneously pressing
SHIFT+MODE
keys will take you directly to the
Play Settings
page where you can control the
Playback Mode
as well as other settings that
affect playback such as
Random
and
Repeat
. The
settings on the
Play Settings
page are retained
even if the unit is powered off.
The HD-R1 is able to play audio from any CF card
that contains compatible audio files as long as the
files are no more than one folder deep. Once you have
turned on the HD-R1 and have inserted a CF card, the
HD-R1 will attempt to enter the same playback mode
that it was in previously. If it is unable to find the
folder or playlist it was previously using, it will switch
to the
All
playback mode.
