3.1 How to Make a Recording
1. Use the following procedure to make a recording using the FS-2/2E.
2. Make sure the FS-2/2E is connected to power and has been turned on using
the power switch on the rear of the chassis.
3. Connect the required devices as explained in Chapter 1. For this example, that
would include a video source (audio and video), speakers or headset if
desired, and a monitor if desired.
4. Make sure the drive in the FS-2/2E has been formatted. If it is not, the LCD
screen indicates that it has not been. Refer to the
Utilities Menu on page 77.
5. Manually select the input source using the front panel buttons (that is,
CMPST, Y/C, CMPNT, SDI, or DV).
Select the record format as follows:
Press the Menu soft key.
Select RECORD FORMAT.
Select the desired format using the soft key to highlight your selection.
Press EXIT twice.
6. Press the red record button twice. (Pressing this button once places the FS-2/
2E in record-pause. Pressing it again starts the recording.) Timecode on the
front panel LCD advances when recording begins.
7. Press STOP when you have finished the recording

These buttons step you through the clips on the selected disk drive.
