Loading Songs Created with the BR-864/BR-532
You can load songs created with the BR-864 or BR-532 into
the BR-900CD via memory cards.
Loading Songs Created with
the BR-864
First, save the song data created with the BR-864 to a
memory card, then insert the memory card into the BR-
900CD.
Once you record, edit, or set parameters for imported BR-864
song data, that particular song data can no longer be used by
the BR-864.
To protect against accidental recording or editing, song
protect (p. 79) is automatically switched on for imported BR-
864 song data.
If you can accept the fact that you will no longer be able to
use the song data with the BR-864, you can switch song
protect off, then carry out recording or editing.

when loaded.
To record or edit, turn off song protect (p. 79).
When you turn off song protect, “Overwrite OK?” appears in
the display; press [ENTER] (YES). Song protect is switched
off, and the data is simultaneously converted to BR-900CD
format. After this step is executed, the song data can no
longer be used with the BR-864.
Loading Songs Created with
the BR-532
When copying song data created with the BR-532 from
SmartMedia to a BR-900CD memory card, you can load the
data as a BR-900CD song.
Reading BR-532 data requires a PC with a SmartMedia
reader and CompactFlash writer connected.
First, copy the data on the BR-532 memory card
(SmartMedia) to the PC with the SmartMedia reader, and use
the CompactFlash writer to copy that data from the PC to a
BR-900CD memory card.
Then insert the memory card containing the copy of the
desired data into the BR-900CD.
