Formatting a Memory Card for PCM-M10
Even though I have carefully read the manual, I cannot figure out how I
am supposed to format a 16GB SDHC memory card for my Sony PCM-M10 digital recorder. The manual on page 37 says, "Before recording, be sure to...format the memory card on the PCM recorder so it contains no data." Obviously I'm overlooking something. Please help me see the obvious! |

Please see page 73 of the PCM-M10 manual under "Detail Menu". It describes the position of the Format command in the menu structure. |

I just love user's manuals that read like an advertising brochure..... "You can do this", and, "You can do that" but they neglect to tell you HOW you can do this or that..... |

If you put the card into the recorder and scroll through the display info, do you eventually come across Format? -- shut up and play your guitar * http://hankalrich.com/ http://armadillomusicproductions.com/who'slistening.html http://www.sonicbids.com/HankandShai...withDougHarman |

I had to select the memory card in the Memory selection before I selected Format in the Detail Menu. The first time I clicked on Format, it wanted to format the internal menu. Of course it makes sense in retrospect. Thanks! |

Yes, you do, but the PCM-M10 has a built-in (non-removable) 4 GB flash memory drive as well as a slot for a Memory Stick or Micro SD removable memory card. There's a menu entry that allows you to select the one you want to record/play from (or tell it to switch to the other one if the one you start recording to fills up). Whichever one is currently selected is the one that will get formatted when you Format from the menu. It's pretty clear in the manual, but you have to first understand that there's not just one place where data is stored. The menu is in firmware that's in physically different memory than what's used for recording, so formatting the internal (recording) memory doesn't "erase the menu." -- "Today's production equipment is IT based and cannot be operated without a passing knowledge of computing, although it seems that it can be operated without a passing knowledge of audio." - John Watkinson |

Please help me see the obvious! when you are inserting the SD card make sure to put it the opposite way in and then go to menu and click memory, then you will see the option of using a memory card. I used a 32 Gb card, but you can use anything. |
