Saving the settings you

modify in Global mode

(Write)

When you perform the Write operation in either Global mode or MIDI mode, the modified settings of both modes will be saved.

Here's how to save the Global mode settings. If you wish to save the settings you modify, you must perform this Write op- eration. Each time you turn on the power, those settings will be in effect. Conversely, if you do not wish to save the modified settings, simply turn off the power without performing the Write operation.

1.Press the Stop/Cancel key to stop playback.

2.Press the Global mode (or MIDI mode) key.

3.Press the Write key once (the key will blink). The display will indicate "---."

4.Press the Write key once again to write the data.

To cancel, press the Stop/Cancel key.

In Global mode or MIDI mode, it is always possible to execute the Write operation, regardless of the Protect settings (see the previous section).

Never turn off the power while data is being written to

memory. This may damage the data.
