SmartMedia card file operations
This section describes how to save, load and delete SmartMedia card data, as well
as format SmartMedia cards for use with the instrument.
* This instrument uses SmartMedia™ (3.3V) memory cards.
About the SmartMedia card file operations
Call up the file operations and the FILE CONTROL display by pressing the [FILE CONTROL] panel button.
• Turning the power on automatically mounts the SmartMedia card. We rec-
ommend that you always have a SmartMedia card ready for backing up
important data.
• When the SmartMedia card is mounted, the file control icon in the MAIN
display lights and the FILE CONTROL display can be called up.
• When the FILE CONTROL display is active, all panel controls unrelated to
File operations cannot be used. The instrument cannot be played either.
• If you are using a SmartMedia card that has not been formatted for the
instrument and you press the [FILE CONTROL] button, the Format page is
automatically called up (after a brief “Please Format” prompt), letting you
format the card. (The particular Format page called up here is the same as
that described in step
in the section “Formatting a SmartMedia card”
below.)
Formatting a SmartMedia card
If you’ve bought a new, blank SmartMedia card, you’ll need to format the card before you can use it with the instrument.
Make sure the SmartMedia card you wish to format is
inserted, then press the [FILE CONTROL] button.
Call up the Format page by using the CATEGORY but-
tons [
]/[
].
A “Format OK?” message appears, asking if you want
to format the card.
Press the [EXECUTE] button.
A “Sure ?” message appears to confirm the operation.
Press the [EXECUTE] button or the [+] button to actually format the Smart-
Media card.
When the Format operation is completed, a “Completed” message appears.
To return to the MAIN display, press the [EXIT] button.
• Make sure to insert an appropriate SmartMedia card in the card slot BEFORE you turn on the
power. Never insert or pull out the SmartMedia card while the power is turned on. Doing so
may damage the files in the SmartMedia card or data in the internal memory.
• The FILE CONTROL display cannot be
called up when the SmartMedia card is not
properly inserted (file control icon is off).
• The FILE CONTROL display cannot be
called up when the SmartMedia card is
being accessed or mounted, or during style/
song playback, or while Lesson is used.
NOTE
• Keep in mind that when battery power
becomes low, the instrument sounds
may revert to their initial settings and
the User song data and panel settings
may be lost, especially if you play the
instrument in this condition at a high
volume. If you intend on using batteries,
make sure to save your data regularly
and often to a SmartMedia card.
• Keep in mind that formatting a SmartMe-
dia card containing data irretrievably
deletes all data previously saved to card.
Make sure that you do not delete any
important data by formatting the card.
f
r
• If the write-protect function on the SmartMe-
dia card is enabled, a “The media is write-
protected.” message appears and the delete
operation cannot be executed.
NOTE
• To cancel the operation, press the [–] button
in Step
.
NOTE
• You cannot cancel the operation while it is being executed (“Formatting...” message is
shown). Never turn off the power or pull out the SmartMedia card in this condition.
