■Copying Songs Saved in Favorites to Disks (KR-7)

Songs that’ve been saved to Favorites can be copied onto floppy disks.

In this case, in the “Copy Song screen” in Step 4 above, touch the large arrow icon in

the center to point the arrow upwards. This sets the KR-7 to copy the song in

Favorites to the floppy disk.

The rest of the procedure is identical to that used for copying songs from floppy

disks to Favorites. Some song data cannot copy

ecause they are copy

protected.
