FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - BR-8 BOSS

Comment connecter un lecteur Zip au BR-8 ?

Éteignez l'ordinateur, branchez le lecteur Zip (SCSI, USB ou ATAPI), puis redémarrez. Insérez un disque Zip formaté sur le BR-8.

Quels systèmes d'exploitation sont pris en charge par le logiciel BR-8 Wave Converter ?

Le logiciel fonctionne sous Windows 95/98/Me. Les versions Windows NT/2000/XP ne sont pas supportées.

Comment convertir une piste BR-8 en fichier WAV ?

Dans le logiciel, sélectionnez la piste (elle devient orange), puis cliquez sur [BR-8 Track -> Wave File]. Choisissez le dossier et le nom du fichier, puis enregistrez.

Puis-je convertir des fichiers WAV stéréo en données BR-8 ?

Oui. Si vous sélectionnez deux pistes lors d'un chargement monaural, la même donnée sera copiée sur les deux pistes. Pour un fichier stéréo, la voie gauche sera placée sur la piste sélectionnée.

Que faire si j'obtiens le message d'erreur "Not BR-8 disk" ?

Le disque Zip n'est pas formaté pour le BR-8. Formatez-le sur le BR-8 (initialisation) avant de l'utiliser.

Comment entrer un nom de piste ?

Cliquez avec le bouton droit sur la piste dans le logiciel, une fenêtre de saisie apparaît. Le nom peut comporter jusqu'à 8 caractères alphanumériques (évitez les symboles non affichables sur le BR-8).

Le BR-8 peut-il lire des échantillons de moins d'une seconde ?

Non. Le BR-8 ne gère pas les données audio dont la durée de lecture est inférieure à une seconde.

Comment protéger une chanson en écriture ?

Sur le BR-8 lui-même, activez la protection de la chanson. Si vous tentez de convertir sur une chanson protégée, le message "Song protected" s'affiche.

Que signifie l'erreur "Event full" lors de la conversion ?

L'espace pour les données de lecture est saturé. Utilisez la fonction SONG OPTIMIZE sur le BR-8 pour supprimer les données inutiles, puis réessayez.

Où puis-je télécharger la notice complète du BR-8 ?
