• If read/write errors occur during the Defrag opera-
tion, it is possible that the data on the internal hard
disk may be lost. If the internal hard disk contains
important song data, you should back it up before
executing Defrag.
• Defrag will require about one hour of processing
time for 1 GB of data. During this time, you must not
turn off the power of the AW2816. Doing so will
cause fatal damage to the hard disk and the data, and
may render it irrecoverable.
• Avoid executing Defrag if power failure due to light-
ning strikes etc. is a possibility.
Tip!
While Defrag is being executed, you can press the
[ENTER] key to abort the processing.
