Initializing the Memory Card

Memory cards need to be initialized by the SV-Manager or formatted by the

unit to allow the unit to browse and manage unit-specific files. Unit-specific files cannot be registered to uninitialized memory cards.

If the password to the security folder is invalid, the unit may require reinitialization when reaccessing the security folder or when browse becomes unavailable.

Connecting the Unit to the PC and Memory Card Management

Backup the unit-specific files on the memory card in the Library or intermediate file format while reinitializing an initialized unit.

The initialization process of the SV-Manager deletes all the unit-specific files from the memory card and creates new and empty Top, Main, and Security folders in it. This process differs from the format command in the unit or Windows as general Windows folders and files in the card are not deleted.

If Software that is not compatible with Windows or SD standards is used to format the card, the card may become incompatible with SD standards and compatibility may become an issue. Use the unit to format the memory card. The format process by this unit formats the card with SD compatible standards and creates new Top, Main, and Security folders in the card, similar to the initialization process of the SV- Manager.

If "Show hidden files and folders" within "Hidden files and folders" is applied in the [View] tab on the [Folder Options] dialog within Explorer, the BRVDOC folder appears in the root directory after initialization. Unit-specific files are saved to the BRVDOC folder in a unique format. Note that opening the folders and files in Windows may render the SV-Manager and unit from being able to browse.

„Initialization

1 Click [Tools] J [Initialize] in the Menu and click the drive to initialize.

The top folder name already displays (default name: "SV-100B") on the initialized drive in the SV-Manager.

When multiple removable drives are connected, confirm the target drive using Explorer when the drive cannot be determined.

¨The [Initialize] dialog displays.
