2 − Setting up and basic knowledge Shutdown You should always use the SHUT DOWN key before turning off the 2488neo. The 2488neo contains a hard disk which is used to store your song data. If you simply turn off the unit using the power switch, there may be some data in the 2488neo's memory which hasn't been written to disk and you will therefore lose that data when you turn off the unit. 1 Press and hold down the SHUT DOWN key for two or three second. The red indicator lights, and the display shows a message Are you sure?. 2 Press the YES/ENTER key. The HD indicator (orange) flashes as data is written to the hard disk (the display also shows this process). When all data is written to the hard disk, the SHUT DOWN indicator flashes red. The display shows SHUT DOWN COMPLETE. 3 Use the power switch at the rear of the 2488neo to turn off the unit. Basic knowledge Before using this unit, please read and understand the fundamental principles explained in this section Hard disk and partitions This unit records audio data and other song information on an 80GB internal hard disk that is divided into multiple partitions. The so-called "FAT partition" is an 8GB partition in FAT-32 format dedicated to file exchange. This partition is used to exchange files between the unit and a computer connected by USB, and cannot be used for recording or playback. This partition can only be accessed: when using a USB connection for backup and restoration operations, WAV file import and export, and SMF import. The rest of the hard disk is divided into multiple partitions for storing songs. Since these partitions use TASCAM's own format, they are named "TASCAM partitions." The Selecting the active partition Select a partition using these procedures. 1 With the transport stopped, press the MENU key. The MENU screen appears. sizes of these partitions are set when they are created. The maximum number of TASCAM partitions is four (see "Reformatting TASCAM partitions" on page 80). Choose the partition that you want to work in by using the SELECT item in the DISK menu. The selected partition is the "active" partition. Only one partition can be active at a time. Inactive partitions cannot be accessed until you make them active. 13 TASCAM 2488neo
