Page 213: Structure Of File System
5-1. Structure of File System The HDW-F900R can save data modifications made using the setup menu, as files in the main unit itself and in a Memory Stick. The file system consists of the USER file, ALL file, SCENE file, REFERENCE file and LENS file.
Page 214: Data Structure
Most of the volume-related items display relative values, and the switch-related items, MASTER GAMMA, KNEE POINT and other similar items display absolute values. The items that display relative values usually perform adjustments by modifying the values between –99 and 99, making the setup data become “0” after the PRESET or STORE operation. HDW-F900R/V1 (E)
