Question

Formatting player.

Answer

If you format the player, all data will be erased and all settings will be returned to the default status.

Notes:

  • Formatting is only available when the player does not playback.
  • If the OPR lamp lights red due to low remaining battery power, the player cannot be formatted.
  • All data stored on the player will be erased. 
  • The Content Transfer software included with the player will also be deleted. If necessary,
    download Content Transfer from the customer support web site.
  1. Unite the left and right parts to turn off the player.
  2. Separate the left and right parts.
  3. Press and hold the jog dial for about 15 seconds until the status lamp blinks quickly.
    Release the jog dial. The OPR lamp lights red.
  4. Rotate the jog dial within 30 seconds after the OPR lamp lights red.
    The status lamp turns off. The OPR lamp lights alternately green and red each time you rotate the jog dial.
  5. Press the jog dial while the OPR lamp lights green.
    The OPR lamp blinks green quickly and formatting is executed. When the OPR lamp turns off, formatting is complete. If you press the jog dial while the OPR lamp lights red, or if 30 seconds have passed, formatting will be canceled.
