To use an SD card with the V-80HD, it must be formatted. If the SD card is not recognized by the unit, try formatting it on your computer (using SD Memory Card Formatter) and then format it again on the V-80HD.

Note:
- Some SD cards may still not be recognized by the V-80HD, even after following the steps below.
- We recommend using SDXC cards of 64 GB or more, including cards confirmed to work with the V-80HD.
-microSD cards are not supported.

 

Please follow the steps below.

Note: Formatting will erase all data stored on the SD card. If you have important data, be sure to back it up to your computer or another device beforehand.
