Panasonic SX-KN7000 - Manual (Page 130)

Saving data
The recorded data and panel settings of this instrument can be saved on a disk.
Disks
You can use 3.5 inch 2DD (720KB) or 2HD
(1.44MB) disks.
• How to distinguish the two disk types:
• Although 2HD disks can hold more data and
are convenient for quick loading and saving,
some models may be able to read only 2DD
disks. Therefore, you may not be able to use
your 2HD disk data with other musical instru-
ment models.
• When saving data to the disk, the write-protect
tab must be closed.
FORMAT
Disks which are used for the first time with this
instrument have to be formatted through the fol-
lowing procedure. When an unformatted disk is
inserted into the Disk Drive slot and you attempt
to execute the save or load procedure, the DISK
FORMAT display appears. Follow the instruc-
tions shown to format the disk.

is currently stored on the disk.
