Restoring a song

This is basically the reverse of the backup process, allowing you to transfer a song archive from a PC to the unit.

1.Connect the unit to the PC using the USB cable, and “open” the recording media (““Open” and “Close”” on page 43).

2.Use the PC operating system to copy the song archive from the PC to the BACKUP directory of the unit FAT partition.

3.“Close” the unit.

4.Press MENU and select the DATA BACKUPmenu.

NOTE

If there are no song archive files on the FAT partition, a message is shown.

5.Select the SONG RESTOREaction and press the ¥ cursor or YES/ENTER key key.

The display shows the song archive files on the FAT partition

NOTE

Although the unit displays shorter file names with spaces at the end of the name, these spaces are not part of the actual file name.

6.Select a song archive using the DATA dial and press YES/ENTER. The current song is saved.

7.The “real” song name is extracted from the archive and shown:

8.Press YES/ENTER to load the archived song as the current song. Appropriate messages are shown if there is not enough disk space, etc.

Importing and exporting tracks

You can import and export individual tracks to and from a PC via the FAT partition. The files used for track import and export are 16-bit 44.1kHz mono WAV format (and

must have the .WAV extension). Audio in other formats intended for import must be converted before they can be imported to the unit.

Importing a track

Before you start, make sure that you have selected the partition containing the song to which you want to import the track, and that the song is loaded.

1.Connect the unit to the PC, and “open” the record- ing media (““Open” and “Close”” on page 43).

2.Use the PC operating system to copy the WAVE file from the PC to the WAVE directory of the unit’s FAT partition.

3.“Close” the unit.

4.Press MENU and select the WAVEmenu.

5.Select the IMPORT TRACKaction and press the ¥ cursor or YES/ENTER key.

The display shows the song archive files on the FAT partition:

NOTE

Although shorter file names are shown with spaces on the unit display, the actual file names on disk do not contain these spaces.
