Chapter 4 Content Preparation
Management” window. When the automatic deletion of
content from the players feature in the “System Setup”
window is enabled, the content will be deleted from the
players automatically on the date displayed, so that the
hard disk drive of the players will not be full of unneed
material.
Normally, no operation for “delete date” is required, but
the delete dates can be specified manually when:
• you want to use a piece of material only in a certain
period.
However, the manually specified delete date may be
modified by the system, when the piece of material is
used in a schedule for a later date, for example.
• you want to keep a piece of material on the hard disk of
each player.
You can make the delete date the 31st of December,
9999 so that players never delete the content.
• you want to clear the delete date specified before, or
change the delete date from the 31st of December, 9999
to any other date, so that the piece of material will be
deleted from players.
See “Change Delete Date command” on page 38 for
details.
When you specify a delete date to a piece of material
manually, the VSPA-D7 software only allows you to
specify a date 30 days, or later, from today.
