HOW TO FORMAT A DISC
When a disc is formatted any data on the disc is erased and the disc directory is set up to contain a maximum of
256 file name entries . The number of data files that can be stored on a disc is determined by amount of data to
be stored . Normally it will be impossible to store enough data on the disc to fill the directory. The disc is
formatted as follows :
1 . Enter the [Storage Operation] field and place the cursor in the Operation field and press PREV[],
NEXT[] keys until [Format disc] is displayed . No other selections are required. Press the INSERT key .
The message "Enter "Y" to confirm >-' is displayed . The cursor must be moved to the entry field
following the > and a "y" placed in that field.
CAUTION
Anything stored on the disc that is being formatted will be erased during the
Format Disc operation .
