About SD Cards
When using a commercially available SD card, insert it as follows.
1. Remove the screws from the rear panel SD card protector.
When this unit is shipped from the factory, the SD card protector
screws are installed as shown in the illustration. To remove the card
protector, you must rst use a phillips screwdriver to remove the
screws.
NOTE
• Never turn o the power or disconnect the SD cards while the
screen indicates “Processing...”
• Never remove the SD card while the writing is in progress.
2. Pull out the included SD card, insert your SD card into the
slot, and then reattach the SD card protector.
* Some SD card types or SD cards from some manufacturers may
not record or play back properly on the FA.
* All SD cards eventually wear out. We recommend that you
consider the SD card not as a permanent storage site, but as
a place to store data temporarily. We also recommend that
you back up important data onto the another media that is
supported by your unit.
Preparing an SD card for use
When using a commercially available SD card with the FA, you
must rst format it as described in “Initializing an SD Card
(Format SD Card)” (p.96). However, don’t format the SD
card that’s included with the FA. If you format the included
SD card, you’ll lose all of the demo song data that was on the
card.
Once you format an SD card, the data that used to be on
it cannot be recovered. We recommend that you back up
the data as described in “Backing-Up SD Card Data to a
Computer” (p.96).
The memory card write protect feature (LOCK)
The contents of the memory card can
be protected by write protecting it.
To write protect a card, slide the write
protect switch on the side of the
memory card to the “LOCK” position.
Unlock write protect to delete data on
the card.
