Package contents

Make sure that the package contains all the items listed below. The illustrations may not precisely

match the appearance of the actual items. If you find that items are missing, contact your local

dealer.

Main unit

Caddy

Install a hard disk into this case. Refer

to page “6” for more information.

Detachable controller

Hard disk fixing screws

Use these screws to fix the hard disk to

the caddy. Refer to page “7” for more

Recording media

The D2424LV is not equipped with any recording medium for recording/playback such as a hard

disk drive (in this manual, we call the installed medium "current drive"). Therefore, to execute the

multitrack recording using the D2424LV, you have to separately prepare a current drive.

For a current drive, you can use any universal "E-IDE" hard disk drive* which has been tested and

approved by FOSTEX. A hard disk drive can be installed in the removable case attached.

The updated information on the operation-confirmed HD and backup media for D2424LV is men-

tioned in the following Fostex international web site.

<http://www.fostex.co.jp/int/index.htm>

For those who are not able to check our web site, please contact Fostex distributor in your territory.

Model D2424LV Quick Operation Guide

Preparation for the current drive

The D2424LV has a slot for an optional hard disk. First you need to install a hard disk into the

caddy included in this recorder package before you install it into the slot.

The following instructions assume that you have already purchased an E-IDE hard disk unit.

Prepare the following items for hard disk installation:

Hard disk unit

Fixing screws

Caddy

<Note>

Be sure to turn off the power to the D2424LV (or remove the power cable from the AC outlet) before

installing a hard disk.

Installing a hard disk in the caddy

First, you need to disassemble the caddy included in the package so that you can install a hard disk into

it.

• Disassembling the caddy

1.Apply your thumb to the edge of the case on the connector side as shown in the figure, and slightly pull the cover in the

direction of the arrow.

2.Apply your thumbs to the side of the case and open the cover. In the same manner, open the cover on the other side.

(Caution: Be careful not to pinch your fingers.)

• A hard disk is a high-precision device. Do not apply any impact to the disk when and after you install it in

the caddy. Do not leave the disk near a device that generates a strong magnetic field. Choose a level and

stable surface for installation. Be careful not to injure yourself.

Fostex is not liable for any malfunction or damage to the hard disk caused by mishandling.

• You need to set the DIP (Jumper) switch on the hard disk to “Master” before you install it into the caddy.

If the switch is set to “Slave,” the hard disk will not function correctly.

Refer to the instruction manual that came with your hard disk for more information on the DIP (Jumper)

switch setting.
