Before using a CompactFlash card, the card must be format-
ted by the D4 itself. Cards formatted on a computer or digital
camera etc. will not be recognized by the D4.
1. Making USB connections to your computer
The D4 has a [USB] connector for direct connection to
your computer, making it quick and easy to back up your
important song data.
The procedure will differ according to the operating sys-
tem of your computer.
