When you format a disk, one Program will be automatically created. Follow the steps below to create a new Program (in addition to the Program created on the disk during the format operation).

The current Program is [PGM 01]. [#0001] is the default name of PGM 01.

[Select PGM] appears on the display briefly, then changes to a flashing “01” ([#0001 of PGM 01) and [SURE?] flash. ([#0001] is the default name of PGM 01.)

To enter a title:

•Turning the JOG dial will enter a character or number at the location of the flashing cursor. You can enter up to 16 characters, nine of which will appear on the display.

•To move the flashing cursor, press the HOLD/> key, the REWIND button, or the F FWD button. The F FWD button is the most convenient.
