3. How
to record
a
song
The song
we are
about to
record will
be
erased
from
memory
if the
JV-1000
is
turned
off. If
you wish to
keep
the
recording, you
must
save
it on a floppy
disk.
New
floppy
disks
you purchase
cannot be
used
just as
they
are.
You
must
first
"initialize"
thedisk.
This
prepares the
diskfor use by
theJV-1
000.
Before
recording
our
song, we will
first
initialize
a floppy
disk.
Make
sure
you
have
the
correct type
of floppy
disk.
The
JV-1
000 uses
3.5
inch, 2DD
floppy
disks. It
cannot use 5
inch
floppy
disks, or
3.5
inch 2HD
floppy
disks.
When
you
initial ize a
floppy
disk (new or
used),
any data
which may
have been
on that
disk will be
erased.
If the
disk you
wish
to
initialize
has been
used
before
in a
personal
computer
or
other
device, make
sure that
it does
not
contain any
important
data.
Check the
protect tab.
If the 'protect
tab'
of
the floppy
disk is
in the
PROTECT
(ON)
position,
it
cannot be
initialized. If
the protect
tab is
in the
PROTECT
(ON)
position,
move
it to
the
WRITE
(OFF)
position.
