The selected files and/or folders are copied to the
new location. This operation may take some time (the
display shows the "Working" message and "Operation
complete" when the folder and its contents have
been inserted).
Note: Never disconnect the target media while the opera-
tion is in progress. Wait until the operation is finished
before returning to business as usual.
(9) Press the [EXIT] button repeatedly until it stops
flashing to return to the main page.

New Folder

This display button on the "FILE UTILITY" page allows you
to create a new folder where your files can be saved or
to which they can be copied. Here is how it works:
(1) Select the location of the new folder (storage
device and folder).
(2) Press the [NEW¥FOLDER] display button.
The display changes to:
(3) Enter the name for your folder.
See "Entering names" on p. 38 for details.
(4) To confirm your entry and name the folder, press
the [ENTER] display button.
The display briefly shows the "Operation complete"
message.
Note: If the location you selected already contains a folder
by the name you just entered, the display shows the "A file
having this name already exists. Overwrite?" message. In
that case, press [YES] to overwrite the old folder (not rec-
ommended) or [NO] to change the name of the new folder.
Note: Although the JM-8 allows you to use long file
names, we suggest using short names (maximum 18 char-
acters) whenever possible to be able to see the complete
name.
(5) Press the [EXIT] button repeatedly until it stops
flashing to return to the main page.

Info/Format

In addition to managing files (see above), the JM-8 also
allows you to check the free space on the internal hard
disk and connected USB device, and to format the inter-
nal hard disk or the connected USB device.
(1) Press the [EXIT] button repeatedly until it stops
flashing to return to the main page (if necessary).
(2) Press [MENU] ‰ [ADVANCED] ‰ [UTILITY].
(3) Press the [INFO÷FORMAT] display button at the top.
After a few seconds, the display changes to:

Free Space

The display page shows the remaining memory capacity
for the internal hard disk (HDD) and the USB storage
device you may have connected.
For your convenience, the remaining storage capacity of
the internal hard disk is also translated into a time value
("Recording Time") that tells you how much space is still
available for audio recordings (see p. 37).

Version

This area indicates the version of the operating system
the JM-8 uses. (The information shown here is only an
example.)

Format

This function allows you to format the internal hard disk
or the connected USB storage device.
USB storage devices using the FAT-32 file system may
not need to be formatted. Hard disks formatted by a PC,
however, may be using the NTFS™ (or another file) for-
mat, which is not recognized.
We therefore recommend formatting all new USB stor-
age devices with the JM-8.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Formatting the internal hard disk or
USB storage device means that all files (songs, pictures,
etc.) it contains are lost. Always check the contents of
the storage device on the main page before deciding to
format it.
Note: We recommend copying any contents on the hard disk
you want to keep to an external USB mass storage device
before formatting it. The external hard disk must be powered
(i.e. have its own adapter).
Note: When you format the internal hard disk, the 5 songs the
JM-8 contained at the factory are restored.
