move
voice data
from one
location to another:
1.

a

in
the "edit buffer"
into
one
of the
preset
memory
locations.
2.
SAVE
Saves
all
20
voices
from
the internal
memory
onto

Cautions
Note
the following points
when
loading voices
from
the
supplied voice tape or
when
saving or verifying
newly
created voices
onto
a tape:
1)
The
supplied voice data
cassette tape (master tape) con-
tains the
same
data
on
both
sides
A
and
B.
However,
the
method
in
which
the recordings were
made
differs be-
tween
sides
A
and B
to
provide compatibility with
all
types of
cassette
tape
recorders.
If
an
error occurs during
a
LOAD
operation,
and
if
adjusting the
level
(volume)
fails
to correct the
error,
reverse the
cassette
tape and
LOAD
the data from
side
B.
This should
correct
the
problem.
2}
During
a
SAVE
or
LOAD
operation, don't pick the tape
recorder
up and move
it,
and
don't subject
it
to a
shock
of
any
kind.
Be
careful
not
to
touch the
connections
either, since doing so
may
cause an
error.
3)
Always
use the same
cassette recorder
when
handling
DX9
data.
Using
a different tape recorder
may make
LOAD
operations
difficult to
execute.
4)
It's
a
good
idea
to
make
a
backup copy
of the
master
voice data cassette tape,
and
always use
your backup
copies for
day
to
day
operations.
That way,
if
your
tape
is
damaged
in
any way, you
can always
make
another
new
backup copy from
the master. Refer to
the
section
on
loading
data.
When
making
a
backup
copy,
LOAD
the data
from
the master tape
into
the
DX9
memory,
group by
group.
Then,
put
a fresh
tape
in
the cassette recorder
and
read the data back onto
the
new
tape with the
SAVE
command.
5}
Before you
SAVE
voice data
onto
a cassette tape,
index
the tape
by making
a
microphone
recording
of
the
information
you
need
prior to the
start
of voice
data
recording
on
the
tape.
6}
It's
not
possible to
copy
voice data
from one
tape to
another by dubbing the tape between
cassette recorders.
Always
LOAD
the data
into
the
DX9 memory
first,
then
SAVE
it
on
a fresh cassette tape.
