ªFormatting the Memory Card (l33)
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.
ªConnecting with the PC (l40)
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 [PCACCESSING] 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 Devices 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
