Using the internal hard disk/external storage devices

Operation section

Backing up songs

Song data saved on the internal hard disk can be

backed up to a storage device such as an MO drive or

CD-RW drive. As a safeguard against accidental dam-

age to the internal hard disk, you should always back

up your important song data.

Selecting the backup format for a

removable drive

If you use a removable drive such as MO as the song

backup destination, you must ﬁrst specify the backup

format.

Press the [UTILITY] key → [F4] key.

The UTILITY screen/Prefer.3 page will appear.

Move the cursor to the button in the

REMOVABLE BACKUP area, and press the

[ENTER] key to select one of the two

backup formats (TYPE1/TYPE2).

Each time you press the [ENTER] key, the button

will change between “TYPE1” and “TYPE2.”

Each format has the following features.

• TYPE1 (default)

This format uses the full capacity of the remov-

able media to backup some or all of the songs.

The advantage of this format is that even if the

backup source songs do not all ﬁt on one volume

of media, the backup can extend across multiple

volumes of media.

If you select this type, the media will automati-

cally be formatted before the backup occurs.

• TYPE2

This format stores some or all of the songs as

individual ﬁles on the removable media. The

advantage of this format is that additional song

ﬁles can be added later to the free area of the

media on which other songs have already been

backed up in the same format. However, the

backup data cannot extend across multiple vol-

umes of media, as for TYPE1.

Before you can use this format to back up on pre-

viously-unused media, you must format that

media manually.

Tip!

• The selection of backup format is meaningful only

when using a removable drive.

• TYPE1 backup format will automatically be selected

if the backup destination is a CD-RW drive, and

TYPE2 will automatically be selected if the backup

destination is an external hard disk.

Executing the backup

Here’s how to back up song data to a CD-RW drive,

MO drive, external hard disk, or other storage device.

Before backing up on an external hard disk, or before

using TYPE2 backup format to back up on removable

media, you must format the backup destination drive

or media (

→

P.160). At this time, you must select

“ORIGINAL” as the type of ﬁle system. (It is not possi-

ble to back up on a drive or media that is formatted as

FAT16.)

Press the [FILE] key → [F1] key.

The FILE screen/Backup page will appear, where

you can perform song backup operations. The

upper part of the display lists the songs currently

saved on the internal hard disk. The highlighted

row in the list is the current song.

Move the cursor to the DESTINATION area

in the lower right of the display, use the

[DATA/JOG] dial to select the backup desti-

nation drive, and press the [ENTER] key.

Select “ATAPI” when backing up on the internal

CD-RW drive, or the corresponding SCSI ID

number when backing up on an external drive.
