[. . . ] This document contains proprietary information which is protected by copyright. No part of this document may be photocopied, reproduced or translated to another language without prior written consent of Sony.

[. . . ] Stored data are automatically checked for compression. The degree of data compression attained while recording data varies according to system environment and data type. Do not move the drives while they are operating. Avoid exposing the drives to sudden changes from low to high temperatures. This may cause condensation to collect inside the drives. If the ambient temperature should suddenly rise while the drives are turned on, turn them off and wait at least one hour before turning them back on. If you attempt to operate the drives immediately after a sudden increase in temperature, malfunctions may occur. â· Turning off the power to the drives while they are writing to tape may cause the tape to become unreadable. All previously negotiated parameters will be lost, whenever power to the drives is cycled. Keep the original packing materials to facilitate safe transportation of the drive. â· Always remove the tape/media cartridge before moving the drive. After removing the drive from the computer, repack the drive into its original packing. Make sure to use a backup application that is confirmed to operate with an ISV. The AITi520 can be used with data cartridges marked with the AIT-4 logo. The AITi390 can be used with data cartridges marked with the AIT-1 (read only), AIT-2 (read only), AIT-3 or AIT-3 Ex logo. The AITi260 can be used with data cartridges marked with the AIT-1, AIT2 or AIT-3 logo. The AITi130 can be used with data cartridges marked with the AIT-1 or AIT-2 logo. The AITi90 can be used with data cartridges marked with the AIT-1 logo. Be sure to use only the cartridges designed specifically for AIT. â· Do not use anything but AIT cartridges with this system, as doing so can damage the AIT drive. Although commercially available 8mm videotapes resemble AIT cartridges in appearance, they have entirely different specifications and cannot be used. The AITi520, AITi390, AITi260, AITi130 and AITi90 conform to the Microsoft PC97 standard, which requires the internal (naked) drive to be terminated with an external terminator. [. . . ] There are three LED indicators (TAPE MOTION LED, CLEANING REQUEST LED, REPLACE TAPE LED) and an EJECT button on the front panel of the unit. While setting the data cartridge, do not turn off the host computer. Set the AIT data cartridge orientation as shown here and insert it into the data cartridge slot. The cartridge can be removed from the AITi520, AITi390, AITi260, AITi130 and AITi90 either in response to a SCSI Unload Command, or by pressing the EJECT bottom. [. . . ]
