The indication "FMTING" flashes on the display, and formatting starts. When formatting is completed, the unit switches to the Song menu.

You now have created a working card. From now on, you should use this card and store the original supplied SmartMedia card in a safe place.

•A SmartMedia card formatted as described above can be used to start up

the PS-02 and as work card to store recording data.

•When you format the SmartMedia card as described above, rhythm track pattern data + song data, drum & bass sound data, and patch data currently stored in the memory of the PS-02 are copied to the SmartMedia card. (However, recorded audio data are not copied.)

Force Formatting a SmartMedia Card

The formatting procedure described above requires that the PS-02 has started up normally. If for any reason the SmartMedia card has become unreadable, startup itself will not be possible.

In such a case, you can force format the SmartMedia and then copy over the system files, provided that these have been backed up for example on the hard disk of a computer. This will result in a SmartMedia card that is functionally identical to the supplied card.

To perform force formatting, proceed as follows.

Operations Special

1.Turn power to the PS-02 off and insert the SmartMedia to force format into the [DATA CARD] slot.

2.While holding down the [REC] key and the [STORE (EXECUTE)] key, turn power to the PS-02 on.

The indication "FORMAT" flashes on the display.

3.Press the [STORE (EXECUTE)] key.

The confirmation message "SURE?" appears on the display.

4.To execute the force format process, press the [STORE (EXECUTE)] key once more.

The indication "FMTING" flashes, and the formatting process starts. To cancel the force format process, turn the PS-02 off. When formatting is completed, turn power to the PS-02 off, remove the SmartMedia and copy the required files to it.
