Shutting down

Make the following preparations before shutting down
the unit.
• Stop the recorder. (The unit cannot be shut down
during recording and other operations.)
• Return to the Home screen.
• If the unit is connected to a computer, disconnect the
USB cable after performing the necessary procedure on
the computer to disconnect the unit.
After making these preparations, press and hold the
STANDBY/ON button on the rear panel until the following
screen opens.
The power turns off (enters standby) after the unit
completes its shutdown process, which includes saving
various information from your session.
CAUTION
When the power is ON, do not disconnect the power
cord or otherwise interrupt the power to the unit. Doing
so will cause all settings made since the last time you
saved it to be lost. If the power is interrupted while an
SD card is being accessed, all recorded songs and data
on the card could be damaged beyond recovery.
NOTE
When the power is turned off (put in standby), the currently
loaded song is saved. When the power is turned on again, the
last song used is reloaded in the same state it was when the
power was turned off (put in standby). You can even undo
and redo previous operations.
