Here's how to format the internal hard disk, returning
it to the default condition. If frequent skips occur in
the sound during playback, or if errors occur in the
file system, try formatting the internal hard disk.
When you execute the Format operation, all song

caution when executing this operation. If the disk
contains any songs you want to keep, you must back
them up before executing the Format operation
( P.162).
