RESTORING FROM DAT
Pressing RESTORE in the ARCHIVE page will show this screen display:
Here you may restore the contents of a DAT back to the disk via the digital audio I/O.
To connect your DAT machine, connect the digital output of the DAT machine to one of
the digital inputs of the DD1500 (you can set which one will be used in the DAT OPTIONS
page).
The TO DISK parameter allows you to select which disk you will restore to.
DAT OPTIONS (F1/F2) has the same function in RESTORE as it does in ARCHIVE.
Please refer to ARCHIVE for details on the DAT OPTION page.
To restore an archive, insert the appropriate tape into the DAT machine and rewind it so
that it is at the start of the tape. Press RESTORE (F3/F4). You will receive this prompt:
Because restoring will erase everything on the disk selected in the TO DISK field, this extra
prompt is shown. Furthermore, to make accidental erasure even more difficult, you must
press SHIFT+EXECUTE to proceed. If you have the slightest doubt about restoring at this
point (proceeding will erase EVERYTHING off the selected disk!!!!) press EXIT to abort this
prompt.
Assuming you wish to proceed, press SHIFT+EXECUTE. The DD1500 will wait and you
should start the DAT machine. The restore will take place. Once you press
SHIFT+EXECUTE, be warned - there is no going back! The disk will be erased and the
restore will start.
** IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT RESTORING **
THE RESTORE PROCESS FIRST ERASES THE DISK AND THEN RESTORES THE
AUDIO ONTO THE DISK. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU USE A BLANK DISK (OR ONE
YOU ARE HAPPY TO ERASE) WHEN RESTORING DATA FROM DAT.
AKAI ELECTRIC CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DATA LOST IN THIS WAY.
As with archiving, the restore will take a little longer than real-time (i.e. an hour’s worth of
material will take just over an hour to restore. If the archive contains many very short clips,
then archiving will take a bit longer).
