PREPARE! If plan to use an external USB hard drive, the drive has to be formatted first. It is important that the
hard drive is formatted with FAT 32 option and single partition. Since Windows may have a problem with
formatting a hard disk in FAT 32 beyond 32 Gig, we have included the format option and strongly recommend
using it instead of your computer.
1. To format a HD, turn off the Performemance system (at the Power Supply), or unplug it
2. Connect the HD
3.Turn on the power and wait until the boot and self check is complete
4. Press MENU
5. Select item MEDIA, press YES
6. Select item USB Format, press YES
Confirmation question with default answer NO is displayed “All data from connected device will be
ereased during the format. Are you sure to proceed?”
7. Select item YES with button + (No changes to YES)
8. Confirm by pressing YES
Formatting is executed now - it can take about 5 minutes.
When the hard drive is formatted, turn off the KD-7, disconnect the hard drive, then connect it to your PC.
Insert a player piano CD into the CD drive, and open your CD burner program (like Nero).
Select the Convert Audio CDs to Audio Files.
