FORMAT FD

Formats a floppy disk for use with the PSR-8000.
After inserting a new floppy disk into the disk drive, press
the EXECUTE LCD button to actually begin the format opera-
tion.
• The PSR-8000 uses only 3.5" 2DD or 2HD type floppy disks.
• Formatting a disk completely erases all data on the disk, so be sure that
the disk you’re formatting does not contain important data!

EDIT DIRECTORY

Allows hard disk directories to be renamed, created, and
deleted.
■NEW DIR ...........................................................................................
Organizing your data in separate directories can generally
speed up the data load and save operations. To make a new
directory, press the NEW DIR LCD button, create a name for
the directory as described on page 21.
■RENAME ...........................................................................................
To change a directory name use the DIRECTORY dials to
select the directory, press the RENAME LCD button, enter a
new name as described on page 21.
■DELETE..............................................................................................
To delete a directory use the DIRECTORY dials to select the
directory to be deleted. Press the DELETE button.
• The last remaining hard disk directory cannot be
deleted.
• The DELETE function deletes the selected directory
and all files it contains — use with caution!
• Make regular backup copies of important data on
floppy disks, and store the backup disks in a safe
location. Use the SONG COPY function to copy song
data from the optional internal hard disk to floppy disk.
Other data must first be loaded from the hard disk and
then saved to floppy disk.
• YAMAHA provides no guarantee against disk dam-
age.
