This function copies all the data from one disk to another, letting you back up all your important data before editing. For instructions, see “Copying from Disk to Disk” below.

This function formats a floppy disk (see below).

Turns the Song Auto Open function on or off. When this is set to “ON,” the PSR-2000/1000 automatically calls up the first disk song when a disk is inserted.

•Copying cannot be done between a 2DD disk and 2HD disk. When copying, make sure both disk are the same type.

•Depending on the amount of data contained in the original source disk, you may have to swap the two disks several times until all of the data is properly copied.

•Make sure to read the section “Using the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks” on page 7.

Commercially available music data is subject to protection by copyright laws. Copying commercially available data is strictly prohibited, except for your own personal use. Some music software is purposely copy-protected and cannot be copied.

Formatting a Disk

When using an unformatted disk for the first time, make sure to properly format it on the PSR-2000/1000. This includes blank disks as well as disks already initialized in a different format. Formatting erases all data on the disk.

Disk Lamp When the power is turned

on, the disk lamp (at the bottom left of the drive) lights to indicate the drive can be used.

Insert the disk with shutter facing away from you and the label side up. To start the Format operation, press the [H] (DISK FORMAT) button, in the DISK page above.

The Format operation initializes a disk with a specific file system, allowing the corresponding device (in this case, the PSR-2000/1000) to access it properly. Since there are several types of formats and disks available, you should know which ones to use with the PSR- 2000/1000. 2DD disks are formatted to a capacity of 720 KB, and 2HD disks are formatted to a capacity of 1.44 MB.

CAUTION

Formatting a disk completely erases all data on the disk. Make sure that the disk you’re formatting does not contain important data!
