lighted up orange.
Notes:
• Even when a second P2 card is inserted into
another slot while the data of one card is

the other P2 card will not be recognized. The
second card will be recognized after the play
of the first card has been completed.
• The P2 card access LED will flash and the
P2 card will be recognized when a P2 card is

has been inserted (while its corresponding
access LED is flashing orange). If a P2 card has
been removed while it was being accessed, the
“TURN POWER OFF” display will appear on the
LCD monitor, and the “AUTO OFF” warning will
appear on the display panel. Also, all the P2
card access LEDs will flash rapidly in orange.
Turn off the power, and then turn it back on.
• The data contained on a P2 card which has
been removed while it was being accessed will
not be destroyed, but the clips may become
irregular. Check the clips first, and then fix them
if necessary. (See page 27)
• If a P2 card has been removed while it was
being formatted, no guarantees are made for its
formatting. Turn on the power, and format the
card again.
