This unit writes track data to the media in order to improve 

performance. Since track data cannot be written to write-

protected SD cards, media reading will take longer and perfor-

mance could otherwise be affected.

SD cards, CF cards and USB flash drives that have been formatted 

by this unit have been optimized to improve performance 

during recording. For this reason, you should use this unit to 

format the SD cards, CF cards and USB flash drives that you will 

use with it. Using an SD card, CF card or USB flash drive that has 

been formatted by a computer or other device might result in 

errors when recording with this unit.
