Page 3: Formatting Macintosh Disks
Various types of file errors and inconsistencies can sometimes accumulate on a Macintosh drive. Although the MMR-8 and MMP-16 can read and write data on Macintosh HFS volumes, it is of critical importance that any Macintosh disk used be free of file and format errors. When the MMR/MMP unit scans the SCSI bus for available drives and sees a Macintosh volume, it will look for file errors on the disk. -

Session With More Than 8 Audio Tracks When loading a Pro Tools session containing 9 or more tracks onto the MMR-8, only the first 8 audio tracks of the Session will load. The other tracks still exist in the Project, they have simply not been loaded. -
Page 8: Session Start Time Restrictions
If it is necessary to punch in on a track before the Session start time, use the Pro Tools system to re-set the session start time as appropriate. The MMR-8 has no provision to set the start time, except for tape mode. Non-TapeMode Pro Tools sessions generated on the MMR-8 always use a start time of 00:00:00:00 and hence will have no punch-in restriction. -
