4. Formatting a Hard drive
Please use KM-31BK direct hook up to you TV to format your hard drive for the first
time. You can use the KM-31BK formatting interface within the setup menu page. The
hard drive can also be formatted through a computer. FAT32 is required for the player to
work properly with the recording feature. The following image will be shown during the
setup.
Select the “OK” icon and press
to proceed to the next stage. Otherwise, select
cancel to return to the menu page.
4.1 Partitions (FAT32 & NTFS)
If you format the drive using the KM-31BK, it will be formatted into two partitions.
One partition will be FAT32 and the other partition will be NTFS. The FAT32 partition is
the partition in which files can be written to*. The NTFS partition is only readable, and files
cannot be written to that partition when using the KM-31BK to transfer files. You can
adjust the amount of space each partition can have as it is diagramed on the next page.
*FAT32 file system limits each file size to 4 GB.
