Reset All
The PowerFile Monitor window has a Reset All button that you can use if you think that the
Changer data on the host PC is incorrect. The Reset All button replaces the disc
information on the host PC with the data from the Changer itself. Subdirectories that have
been created by the user on the PC (see “Creating a new subfolder” elsewhere in this
guide) will be retained.
