Recording and Saving the Performance
Using Floppy Disks
You can use the KR105s disk drive to save songs to floppy disks and listen to
commercial music files.
Inserting and Ejecting a Floppy Disk
Inserting a floppy disk
1. With the front of the floppy disk facing up, insert the disk in the disk
drive slot until there is an audible click.

Removing a floppy disk
2. Press the Eject button.
The end of the floppy disk comes out of the slot. Grasp the edge of the floppy disk
and gently pull it out.
Formatting Floppy Disks (Format)
A newly purchased floppy disk, or a floppy disk that has been used by another
device cannot be used as is. Such floppy disks must be formatted (initialized) for
use with the KR105.
If a floppy disk is in a format that doesnt match the format of this unit, you wont be
able to use that floppy disk.
fig.panel4-3
First make sure that the protect tab of the floppy disk is in the Write (write enable)
position.
If youre using the disk drive
for the first time, be sure to
read the important notes on
p. 6.
NOTE
Never remove the disk while
it is being read or written.
Doing so will scratch the
magnetic surface of the disk,
making it unusable. (The disk
drive indicator will light
brightly while data is being
read or written. Normally, it
will be lit dimly or will be
dark.)

NOTE
When a floppy disk is
initialized, all of the data
saved on the disk is erased.
If youre formatting a used
floppy disk for reuse, be sure
to check first to make sure the
disk doesnt contain any data
you dont want to lose.
