Restoring songs Basically, restoring is the reverse of backing up.

The actual song name and a confirmation message ("Are you sure?") appear. NOTE If the file name is short, spaces appear after the file name on the FAT partition, but those spaces are not included in the actual file name. 8 Press the F3 (YES) key. After the currently loaded song is saved, the song selected in step 6 is restored and loaded. NOTE If the open space on the card is insufficient, an error message appears. 9 Press the HOME key to return to the Home Screen. The screen shows the backup files on the FAT partition. Track import and export You can import and export individual tracks between a computer and this unit's FAT partition. Files that can be imported/exported as tracks must be WAV files (with the ".WAV" extension). You can import both mono and stereo files and export mono files. If you want to import audio into this unit that is of a different format, you must convert it to a 16-bit, 44.1-kHz mono/stereo WAV file first. 74 TASCAM DP-008
