Hard disk formatting

You can reformat the MR-8HD internal hard disk by using the FAT32 file system. By reformatting the hard disk, all existing song data on the hard disk is erased, while all setting data including the menu settings are initialized, and a new song (Song01) is automatically created.

<Note>: You cannot undo hard disk formatting. Therefore, before executing hard disk format- ting, make sure that all song data on the hard disk is not necessary.

1)While the recorder is stopped, press the [MENU/ENTER] knob to enter the menu mode.

The display now shows the first page of the menu selection screen, where "<< Back" is highlighted initially.

You can select between "0.1s" and "10s" in 0.1 second steps.

2)Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select "System", and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.

The display now shows the first page of the system menu screen, where "<< Back" is highlighted.

3)Rotate the [MENU/ENTER] knob to select

"Disk Format" on the second page and press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.

The display show the screen where "Are You Sure?" flashes. As this screen indicates, formatting the hard disk deletes all songs on the disk and you cannot undo disk formatting. To stop formatting, press the [STOP] key to exit the menu mode.

4)Press the [MENU/ENTER] knob while holding down the [RECORD] key.

Formatting starts.

When formatting completes, “Completed!” is shown on the display and the MR-8HD stops disk access.

6)Press the [MENU/ENTER] knob.

The MR-8HD exits the menu mode.

The display changes to the home screen for Song01 (song name: Song01) which is automatically created after formatting.
