Disk Control; Formatting A New Disk - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-87A Owner's Manual

Disk Control

38
This chapter describes several important disk
control functions: Formatting new disks, copying
songs, and deleting songs.

Formatting a New Disk

The Clavinova uses only 3.5" 2DD floppy disks. We recommend that you use Yamaha 2DD disks. Before you can
use a new disk for recording, the disk must be "formatted" so that the Clavinova can recognize it and correctly write the
music data onto it.

Insert a new blank disk. Make sure that the disk's write protect tab is set to the
"write" position (tab closed), and insert the new disk into the disk drive unit with
the sliding door facing the drive slot and the label side of the disk facing upward.
The disk should click securely into place, and the disk drive lamp should light
briefly.
NOTES
Write protect tab
closed (unlocked —
write enabled)
Press the DISK CONTROL [FORMAT] button. The [FORMAT] button LED
will flash and "n Y " will appear on the SONG NUMBER display.
Use the SONG NUMBER [ ] and [ ] buttons to select either "n" (NO) or
"Y" (YES) on the display. "Y" if you intend to execute the format operation or "n"
if you wish to cancel the operation. This step is necessary because formatting com-
pletely erases any data that is already on the disk — make sure that the disk you're
about to format does not contain any important data!
If you selected "Y" in the previous step, press the [FORMAT] button again and
formatting will begin. The number of each "track" on the disk will be shown on the
display as the format process continues ("F80" through "1"). When formatting is
complete (the display will show "1"), you can go ahead and record using the per-
formance memory, or use the COPY function (below) to copy songs or Disk Style
data to the disk.

FUNCTION
• " For " will appear on the SONG NUMBER display to indicate that a blank
(unformatted) disk is loaded in the drive.
• " Pro " will appear if a protected disk that cannot be formatted is loaded in the
drive: a write-protected disk, a Disk Orchestra Collection disk, a Disklavier disk,
or a disk formatted by the Disklavier.
• The format operation can be aborted at any time prior to actually starting the
format operation by pressing the [START/STOP] button. In this case, the disk will
have to be properly formatted again before use.
