Saving Your Performance

Initializing the Memory

Here’s how you can completely erase all songs that were saved in internal memory, USB memory (sold separately), or a floppy disk (sold separately).

NOTE

Once an initialization is performed, all songs that have been saved in memory will be erased. The erased data cannot be recovered, so we recommend that you check the contents of memory before you proceed.

NOTE

In order to use new USB memory or a new floppy disk with the HP203 for the first time, you’ll need to initialize (format) it. USB memory or a floppy disk that has not been initialized can’t be used with the HP203.

For details on handling USB memory, refer to “Using External Memory” (p. 21).

If you will be initializing USB memory, connect the USB memory to the

If you will be initializing a floppy disk, connect your floppy disk drive to the external memory connector, and insert the disk into the drive.

Saving the Songs

A song you’ve recorded can be saved in internal memory, USB memory (sold separately) or floppy disk (sold separately).

The songs you record will be lost if you simply turn off the HP203’s power before they’ve been saved. You’ll need to save a song if you want to keep it.

A song from internal memory can also be saved to external memory, or a song from external memory can be saved to internal memory.
