ªFormatting the Memory Card

(l 33)

≥Normally, it is not necessary to format the Memory Card.

≥If the Memory Card performance becomes unstable (recording or playback fails, etc.), try to format it.

≥If a message to prompt you to check the

Memory Card comes up, it will be necessary to format it in order to use it on the SD Multi AV Device.

≥By formatting, all data stored in the Memory Card (e.g., still pictures, MPEG4 moving pictures, voice data, music data) are erased.

≥Format the Memory Card on the SD Multi AV Device or on the SD-Jukebox Ver.3.0 (supplied). A Memory Card formatted on a machine other than the SD Multi AV Device may not be used. A Memory Card formatted on the SD Multi AV Device may not be used on other machines. Format a Memory Card on the machine on which it is used.

≥Particularly for a Memory Card containing music files, check in the Memory Card using SD-Jukebox Ver.3.0, with which the music files were recorded, then format it. (For details, read the PDF-format manual

for SD-Jukebox Ver.3.0.)

≥Do not use the personal computer (Explorer) to format it. Otherwise, it may not be recognized by the SD Multi AV Device.

≥If the write protection switch of the SD Memory Card is set to [LOCK], data cannot be erased.

≥When the Memory Card is formatted, the files will be deleted, even if files are locked.

≥As formatting erases all the data, save the necessary data on a personal computer, etc. beforehand.

≥Format may take a little time. Wait until the Card Access Lamp goes out.

≥To erase pictures that you recorded on the Memory Card by using the SD Multi AV Device, be sure to erase them on the SD Multi AV Device or SD-MovieStage Ver.2.0, not on a personal computer (the explorer, etc.).

≥You may not be able to properly play back on the SD Multi AV Device after editing the recorded data or changing the image data on a personal computer.

≥Moving Picture format (MPEG4) that can be played back on the SD Multi AV Device is ASF. (Depending on the file, it may not be able to be played back even if it is in ASF format.)

≥When you operate the SD Multi AV Device using its buttons, pull out the USB cable. (The SD Multi AV Device cannot be operated in the [PC ACCESSING] mode.)

≥Use only the supplied USB cable.

≥Do not remove the AC adaptor when the SD Multi AV Device is connected to the personal computer.

≥If the SD Multi AV Device’s personal computer peripheral mode ([PC ACCESSING] is displayed) is not cancelled when the personal computer is turned off, remove the USB cable.

≥If the personal computer switches to the suspend mode when the SD Multi AV Device is connected to it, the personal computer may not recognise the SD Multi AV Device when it reverts to normal model. In this case, restart the personal

computer.

≥Do not use other applications to access the CD that you are recording from or playing back with the SD-Jukebox Ver.3.0 (supplied).

≥While SD-MovieStage Ver.2.0 (supplied) is accessing a CD, the CD may not work properly in other applications.

≥When an NTFS-formatted Memory Card is inserted into the SD Multi AV Device and the Device is connected to the personal computer, the Memory Card active lamp
