Formatting SD cards

“dr-1.sys” file.
CAUTION
When formatting, the unit should be operating using the
included AC adapter (TASCAM PS-P1220E) or batteries
with sufficient remaining power. If the power fails during
formatting, the formatting may not occur correctly.

ERASE FORMAT

that has decreased writing performance due to repeated
use.
• Erasing and formatting checks the memory for errors while
formatting, so it takes more time than quick formatting.
