Notes on the built-in hard disk
• The built-in hard disk is formatted using the FAT32 file system.
In the following cases, a hard disk format-related error may
occur:
• The USB cable was disconnected while tracks are sent to the player.
• An error was detected and the player was turned off while tracks are sent to the
player.
• The built-in hard disk was formatted using the file system other than FAT32.
If a hard disk error is detected, recover or format the hard disk as required.
Recovering the firmware after checking the hard disk error
• Follow the steps specified by your operating system to check the built-in hard disk
error, and recover the hard disk if necessary.
• The player will not start up if the system file necessary to the player was destructed,
even though the built-in hard disk was recovered. Use the Music Transfer Hard Disk
Player Edition CD-ROM to recover the firmware (page 22).
Recovering the firmware after formatting the hard disk
• If you cannot check the hard disk error, or if the built-in hard disk cannot be
recovered by checking the hard disk error, first format the built-in hard disk of the
player using the FAT32 file system, and then recover the firmware. Format the built-
in hard disk of the player by following the steps specified by your operating system.
When formatting is finished, use the Music Transfer Hard Disk Player Edition CD-
ROM to recover the firmware (page 22).
Notes
• If you format the built-in hard disk using the file system other than FAT32, the firmware can be recovered
but the player does not operate normally. It is not recommended to use the quick format method.
• Make sure not to format other devices by mistake. It is recommended to disconnect devices other than the
player.
• If you perform the firmware recovery operation, all the files sent to the player and the settings you have
made on the player will be erased.
Important
After performing the firmware recovery operation, the version of the firmware in the built-in hard disk
coincides with that of the firmware stored in the CD-ROM.
It is recommended to visit the Aiwa official website to download a firmware-updating program and update
the firmware (page 21).
