Note: Copying from SmartMedia card to floppy disk
often leads to the following error message and should
therefore be avoided. Remember that the DisCover 5 is
far more powerful when used with SmartMedia cards.
(5) Press the fields of all files you wish to copy.
Selected fields are displayed on a white back-
ground.
• If the desired name is not displayed, use the [ø]
[˚] fields to scroll through the list.
• Press the Select [ALL] field to select all files of
the selected type (User Programs, Songs, MIDI
Sets, or Song Chains).
• Press the Select [NONE] field to cancel your file
selections. This then means that no files will be
copied.
Note: When copying files from media (SmartMedia/
floppy disk) to media, if the “AVAIL AREA” size is smaller
than the files you wish to copy, the DisCover 5 auto-
matically stops the operation without displaying a mes-
sage as soon as the media is full. Therefore, please check
the available disk capacity before proceeding. And be
sure to check the contents of the destination media
immediately after the copy operation.
(6) Press the [EXECUTE] field to start the copy
operation.
For card →card and disk →disk copies (see the
table), the DisCover 5 now asks you to insert
the source (“From”) media:
(There is a similar message for SmartMedia
cards.)
Note: If the display tells you “Can’t execute, song is
running”, you need to stop song playback. This message
means that the function cannot be executed because
that RAM memory is being used for song playback,
which is why it is impossible to copy files.
• Enable the disk’s/card’s write protection and
press the [EXECUTE] field. (Press [ABORT] if you
do not want to proceed.)
To enable the write protection of a floppy disk,
open the “little window” (see p. 6).
You are asked whether it is OK to overwrite all
files on the destination media (“To”) that have
the same file names as the files you are about
to copy.
(7) Press the [YES] field if it is OK to overwrite
files with the same names on the destination
media.
Press the [NO] field if files on the source
(“From”) media that have the same name as
existing files on the destination (“To”) media
should not be copied (only files with “original”
names will be copied in that case).
The data are copied and a “Complete” message
confirms the end of the operation.
If you copy from card → card, or disk → disk
(see the table above), the DisCover 5 copies the
first chunk of data to its RAM memory, and may
then ask you to insert the destination media:
(There is a similar message for floppy disks.)
• Remove the original card or floppy from the
slot or drive and insert the one you wish to
copy the data to.
• Press [EXECUTE] again (or [ABORT] to halt the
copy operation).
The file(s) is/are now transferred from the
DisCover 5’s internal memory to the destination
media.
• If the “Insert SOURCE” message appears again,
return to the explanations under step (6) above.
