About the Protect Function
You can protect an SD card so that the samples and
patterns on the card cannot be overwritten or deleted
accidentally.
NOTE
On the SD card included with the SP-404SX, sample
banks [A]–[F] and pattern banks [A]–[E] contain preload
data and are protected. If you cancel protection
for these banks, it is possible that the data may be
overwritten or deleted. If you want to restore the SD
card to its factory-set state, refer to “Restoring the
Factory Settings (Factory Reset)” (p. 40).

banks will also be protected, but the card will not be
protected when used with your computer.
