Copying from Disk to Disk

then copy the data to the backup (destination) disk.

original data into the drive and
press “OK.”
A “Now copying” message
appears, and the CVP-205/203
begins copying data to internal

Commercially available
music data is subject to
protection by copyright
laws. Copying commer-
cially available data is
strictly prohibited,
except for your own per-
sonal use. Some music
software is purposely
copy-protected and
cannot be copied.
Formatting a Disk
When using an unformatted disk for the first
time, make sure to properly format it on the
CVP-205/203. This includes blank disks as
well as disks already initialized in a different
format. Formatting erases all data on the disk.
Insert the disk with shutter facing away from
you and the label side up. To start the Format
operation, press the [H] (DISK FORMAT)
button, in the DISK page above.
The Format operation initial-
izes a disk with a specific file
system, allowing the corre-
sponding device (in this
case, the CVP-205/203) to
access it properly.
Since there are several
types of formats and disks
available, you should know
which ones to use with the
CVP-205/203. 2DD disks
are formatted to a capacity
of 720 KB, and 2HD disks
are formatted to a capacity
of 1.44 MB.
Formatting a disk completely
erases all data on the disk.
Make sure that the disk
you’re formatting does not
contain important data!
CAUTION
Disk Lamp
When the power is turned on, the disk lamp
(at the bottom left of the drive) lights to
indicate the drive can be used.
