Back Up and Shutdown
Proper shutdown and regular backup of your SX-1 is
extremely important. Failure to shut down your SX-1
correctly before powering off can increase the possi-
bility of corrupted data in your saved files. Without
regular backup, the possibility that an unforeseen
problem could wipe out some, or all, of your data
increases drastically. When it comes to your hard
work, don't take any chances; always perform a
proper shut down and backup of your projects after
each session.
Backing Up
There are many different ways of backing up, using
different types of media (for more on this subject, see
the
Owner's Manual
). However, one of the simplest
and most convenient ways to back up is to use the
SX-1's onboard CD-R burner. Follow the steps below
to find out just how easy it is.
TIP
HOT TIP! —
We recommend using TEAC brand CD recordable media
for all your CD-R needs.
