Resume function
When this unit is turned off, it remembers the position where playback

Formatting (initializing) microSD cards
The following message will appear if an unformatted card is loaded.
Tap OK to start formatting.
o
We recommend using ERASE FORMAT when formatting microSD
cards the first time they are used with this unit.
o
After formatting completes successfully, the LAUNCHER (app selec-
tion) screen will open.
CAUTION
Formatting will erase all data on a microSD card.
Back up to a computer, for example before formatting a card.
NOTE
o
Formatting can also be executed using the GENERAL SETTINGS
screen > SYSTEM page > MEDIA FORMAT item. (page 9)
o
Using the ERASE FORMAT option might improve writing performance
that has decreased due to repeated use. If “Write error. Recording will
continue.” or “Card speed reduced. Check BOF mark.” appears during
recording, format the card using the ERASE FORMAT option.
o
ERASE FORMAT checks the memory for errors while formatting, so it
takes more time than QUICK FORMAT.
