Disk Operations

The PSR-8000 [DISK] button accesses a range of functions that are used for

storage and retrieval of floppy disk data. The PSR-8000 can also be fitted with an

optional internal hard disk for massive on-line storage capacity. See page 156 for

details on hard disk installation. To select a disk operation first press the [DISK]

button, then press the LCD button corresponding to the operation you want to

perform.

The DISK mode has the following display pages:
LOAD FROM DISK.............................................................................. 140
SAVE TO DISK .................................................................................... 141
COPY FILE/FD ................................................................................... 143
CHANGE SONG ORDER....................................................................... 144

• The EDIT DIRECTORY, FORMAT HARD DISK, and CHECK HARD DISK functions are only available when an optional hard disk
unit is installed in the PSR-8000 (page 156).

The DISK Parameters

Disk Operations
• Please note that no other PSR-8000 functions will operate
while a disk function is in progress.
• For any floppy disk operation an appropriate floppy disk must
first be properly inserted into the PSR-8000 disk drive. The
PSR-8000 uses only 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks.
Make sure the disk write protect tab is set to the “write enable”
position if you intend to save any data to the disk, and insert the
disk with the sliding disk cover facing the disk drive and the disk
label facing upward. Before a new disk can be used to save
data, it must be formatted using the “FORMAT FLOPPY DISK”
function described on page 146.
