Formatting an SD card

playback.

buon lights).

The display indicates “ Init ” (Initialize), and the [Set/OK]
buon blinks.
3. To format the card, hold down the [Set/OK] buon for
approximately one second.
During formaing, the display's “Init” indication and the
[SD Card] buon will blink.
When formaing has ended successfully, the display

If an error occurs, the display indicates “Err.” If you want
to try formaing the card again, repeat the procedure
from step 2.
When you format an SD card, all data on the card is lost. If
the card contains data that you want to keep, back it up on
your computer before you format the card.
Testing whether recording can be done on an SD
card
There are some SD cards onto which the STAGEMAN 80
cannot record. You can test whether a certain card can be
used for recording. Refer to “SD card test function “tESt””
on page 25.
About recording time
1 Gbyte of memory allows approximately 100 minutes
of recording; i.e., each minute of recording occupies
approximately 10 Mbytes.
Note: These recording times are approximate. As the number
of songs on the card increases, the maximum recording time
decreases slightly.
Note: The recording times listed above are for the rst
recording of a new song. If you overdub, the used capacity is
the total time that was actually recorded.
Viewing the time available for recording
Tip: Here’s how to view the time that is available for
recording on the current SD card.
1. Press the [SD Card] buon. Here you can check the free
capacity of the SD card.
The display indicates “Sd:Fr** (free capacity).”
If the free capacity is more than one hour, the display
indicates 1h, 2h, ... etc.
If the free capacity is less than one hour, the display
indicates 59...00.
Note: In System mode, the display indicates “tESt” and
the SD card test function is selected.
About the write protect setting of an SD card
SD cards have a write protect switch that prevents the data
from being overwrien accidentally and lost. If a card is
protected, you can’t save or delete data on it, use it to record
with the audio recorder, or format the card.
If you need to perform these procedures, you must rst set
the switch to its original position.
