*NOTE: Initializing your memory card will erase ALL existing data that is on the card. Make sure you back up any important data before performing this procedure.

*NOTE: Before you insert or remove a memory card, always turn off the BR-900CD first. If a memory card is inserted when the power is turned on, the data in the memory card may be destroyed, or the memory card may become unreadable.

To initialize your memory card:

• Press [UTILITY].

• Press CURSOR [<] [>] to move the cursor to "INI," then press [ENTER].

• Press CURSOR [<] [>] to move the cursor to "CARD," then press [ENTER]. The confirmation message "Are you sure?" appears in the display.

• To continue the initialization, press [ENTER]. To cancel, press [EXIT] or [UTILITY].

When [ENTER] is pressed, initialization begins. When the initializing has been completed, "Completed!" appears in the display. The message "Keep power on! Song creating..." then appears in the display, and a new song is automatically created. In this case, the data type selected is HiFi (MT2). When the creation of the song is finished, the play screen returns to the display.

* Depending on the size of the memory card, initializing may take more than ten minutes to complete. This is not a malfunction. The progress of the initializing is shown in the display. Do not turn off the BR-900CD until the initialization has been completed.
