4 If the card capacity is 8 GB or more, turn the DATA
wheel to select the MTR partition size, and press
the F2 (
EXEC
) key. A message warning that all songs
will be erased appears.
5 Press the F3 (
YES
) key to format the card.
For example, if you format a 16 GB card with 4GB
MTR partitions, 12 GB are left for MTR partitions
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 card
size.)
When formatting finishes the
•
CA R D
menu screen
reopens.
After formatting, one song is automatically created
•
in each MTR partition.
To cancel formatting, press the
•
F4 (
NO
) key instead of
the F3 (
YES
) key.

partition without changing its size.
CAUTION

will not lose anything important when reformatting.
