You can format the memory media currently selected (the built-in memory or the memory card), erasing all the data in the memory and resetting the folder structure to its default status.
- In the stop mode, select DISP/MENU - “Detail Menu” - “Format,” and then press
PLAY/STOP・ENTER.
- Press –
or 
+ to select “YES,” and then press PLAY/STOP・ENTER.
The “Formatting...” animation appears and the memory media will be formatted. - Press
(stop) to exit the menu mode.
Note
-
Use the IC recorder formatting function to format the memory media.
Do not use your computer to format the media.
- Switch the memory media to the one to be formatted before you start the format operation.
-
If you format the built-in memory, all data stored there will be erased. (Protected files and the Help Guide will also be erased.) Note that once the files are erased, you cannot retrieve them.
Hint
- To cancel formatting the memory media, select “NO” in step 2.
