Yamaha AW4416 manual Backing up and restoring songs, Selecting the backup format

16 Backing up and restoring songs

This chapter explains how part or all of the song data on the internal hard disk can be backed up to a SCSI device (such as a CD-RW drive or MO drive), and how backed-up data can be restored to the internal hard disk. This chapter also explains how to re-format the internal hard disk, and how to erase CD-RW media.

Selecting the backup format

When using removable media such as MO as the backup destination, you must first select the backup format.

1.Press the [UTILITY] key → [F4] key.

The UTILITY screen Prefer.3 page will appear in the display.

2.Move the cursor to the button in the REMOVABLE BACKUP area, and select either “TYPE1” or “TYPE2” as the backup format.

Each time you press the [ENTER] key, the button display will alternate between “TYPE1” and “TYPE2.” The difference between these formats is described below.

Tip!

When you backup on CD-RW media, TYPE 1 will be selected as the backup format regardless of this setting. If the song being backed up will not fit on a single piece of CD-RW media, the backup can extend across multiple volumes of media.
