Disk Format ..............................................................................................................

Floppy disks must be correctly formatted before the Clavinova can
use them for data storage. If you insert a new, unformatted disk (or a disk
that has already been initialized in a different format) in the disk drive,
the Clavinova will automatically ask you whether it should format the
disk. (See page 131 for details.)
The Clavinova also has a Disk Format function that can be used to
reformat disks that have already been formatted for use by the
Clavinova. The reformatting operation deletes any data that may have
been saved on the disk.
ZInsert the disk to be formatted.
Make sure that the disk’s write protect tab is set to the “write” posi-
tion, and insert the disk into the disk drive face up with the shutter
forward until it clicks into place.
FUNCTION [DISK 5] Display — page 8
The Disk Format function cannot be used

disk.
XExecute the format operation.
Press the START button.
An “Are you sure?” message is displayed. Press YES to execute
the format, or NO to cancel.
A bar graph indicates the progress of the formatting process. Once the
disk has been formatted, the Clavinova can use it to store songs and
other data.
