The Utility Functions Format The FORMAT page provides access to the Disk Format function which allows new disks or disks formatted on other equipment to be "formatted" for use with the Clavinova. The Clavinova uses only 3.5" 2DD or 2HD floppy disks. We recommend that you use Yamaha 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. The "Start disk format?" display will automatically appear if an unformatted disk is inserted. Press the OK LCD button to format the disk or the CANCEL LCD button to abort. Write protect tab closed (unlocked - write enabled) XConfirm & Start the Format Operation When "Are you sure?" appears press the YES LCD button to confirm and continue, or the NO LCD button to cancel the operation. This extra confirmation 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 progress of the format operation will be indicated by a bar-graph on the display. When formatting is complete, you can go ahead and record using the Song Record function, use the Song Copy function to copy songs, or save other data to the disk. • If you access the FORMAT function page via the [FUNCTION] and PAGE buttons (i.e. you want to format a disk that is already inserted), press the START LCD button before proceeding to step 2 below. • "Protected disk!" will appear if a protected disk (DOC, etc.) that cannot be formatted is loaded in the drive. • The "No disk!" alert will appear if you attempt to execute a format operation when there is no disk inserted in the disk drive. • 2DD disks are formatted into 720 KB, while 2HD disks are formatted into 1.44 MB. • The song record or playback mode will be turned off if the FORMAT operation is executed while they are on. 98
