48 Utility Functions s 13: Disk Format 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. ZInsert the Disk To Be Formatted ...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. Write protect tab closed (unlocked - write enabled) NOTES • "UNFORMATTED DISK!" will appear on the display to indicate that a blank (unformatted) disk or one with a format not recognizable by the CVP-89 is loaded in the drive. If you press the [UTILITY] button at this point utility function 13: Disk Format will automatically be selected. • "DISK PROTECTED" 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. XSelect the Disk Format Function ... 13 DISK FORMAT PRESS [START] Select the Disk Format function - see "Selecting & Using the Utility Functions", page 42. When the Disk Format function is selected, "PRESS [START]" will appear on the display. Press the [STOP/START] button to begin the disk format procedure. CConfirm & Start the Format Operation 13 DISK FORMAT ARE YOU SURE? When the [START/STOP] button has been pressed, "ARE YOU SURE?" will appear on the display. Use the TEMPO [s] (YES) and [t] (NO) buttons to confirm and continue or cancel the operation. "YES" if you intend to execute the format operation or "NO" if you wish to cancel the operation. This step is necessary because formatting completely 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! Formatting will begin the instant you select "YES". The number of each "track" on the disk will be shown on the display as the format process continues ("F80" through "END"). When formatting is complete (the display will show "END"), you can go ahead and record using the performance memory, or use the Song Copy function to copy songs or Disk Style data to the disk. NOTES • The format operation can be aborted at any time prior to actually starting the format operation (i.e. prior to pressing the TEMPO [s] button) by pressing the [UTILITY] or [START/STOP] button. In this case, the disk will have to be properly formatted again before use. s 14: Standard MIDI File Playback Mode (SMF Data Format) 14 SMF VOICE MODE GM This function determines whether standard MIDI files on floppy disk are played back using the General MIDI voice assignments or the standard Clavinova voice assignments. Once the Standard MIDI File Playback Mode function has been selected, use the TEMPO [s] and [t] buttons to select "NORMAL" or "GM", then release the [UTILITY] button.
