Data Reading and Storing

• If the indication "Cd FULL" appears after step 3, the

NOTE data card does not have enough free capacity. Erase bulk data that are no longer needed. If the indication "Cd Err" appears, the data card is defective. Format the card again.

•When the number of a file where data are already stored is selected, the display flashes.

•During storing, all currently playing pads are stopped (including the [SOURCE] pad).

CAUTION

Never turn power to the unit off or remove a card while data are being saved. Otherwise the data may be destroyed.
