4. If the capacity of the SD card is less than 8 GB,
press the F2 [EXEC] button.
If the capacity of the SD card is 8 GB or more,
use the DATA wheel to set the size of the MTR
partition, and press the F2 [EXEC] button.
A pop-up message warning that all songs will be
erased appears.
5. Press the F3 [YES] button to format the SD card.
For example, if you format a 16 GB SD card with
4GB MTR partitions, 12 GB are left for MTR parti-
tions after 4 GB is used for the FAT partition. Three
partitions are created. Two are 4 GB and the last
one is 3 GB. (Since 1GB is actually 1024 MB, the
total size of the partitions does not always match
the SD card size.)
NOTE
When formatting finishes the
CARD
menu screen
reopens.
After formatting, one song is automatically
created in each MTR partition.
To cancel formatting, press the F4 [NO] button.
Reformatting MTR partitions
You can reformat any MTR partition if you want. Use
this function when you just want to format a specific
partition without changing its size.
CAUTION
You cannot undo this operation! All the data on
the selected partition will be erased, so be certain
that you will not lose anything important when
reformatting.
