Handling Floppy Disks - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-600 Owner's Manual

Handling Floppy Disks

The "Music Software Collection" disk and one
blank disk are supplied with the Clavinova.
Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks
Do NOT eject the disk during recording or play-
back, or at any time when the DISK IN USE
lamp is lit. Doing so may damage both the disk
and the FDD.
Do NOT turn the Clavinova on or off while the
disk is in the drive.
Always eject the disk before turning the
Clavinova off.
When ejecting a floppy disk from the disk drive:
DISK IN USE lamp
• To eject a floppy disk, press the eject button slowly as far as it
will go. Then when the disk Is fully ejected, remove it by hand.
• The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is
pressed too quickly or if it is not pressed in far enough. (The
eject button may become stuck halfway with the disk extending
from the slot by only a few millimeters). If this is the case, do not
attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk. Doing so may dam-
age the disk drive mechanism and/or the floppy disk. To remove
a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again
or push the disk back into the slot, then repeat the eject proce-
dure carefully.
Never open or close the key cover while a disk is
extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected posi-
tion). The key cover may contact the disk, possibly
damaging the disk or even the disk drive.
Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the
disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to
the disk drive or floppy disk.
Use the 3.5-inch 2DD or 2HD floppy disks with
the Clavinova.
Precautions Regarding Floppy Disk
Use
.............................................................................................
Never open the disk's shutter. Dirt or dust on the
Internal magnetic surface will cause data errors.
...........
Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other
device that emits a strong magnetic field.
Do not store disks in places exposed to direct
sunlight or sources of high temperature.
Do not place heavy objects such as books on top
of a disk.
Avoid getting the disks wet.
Be sure to store the disks in environmental conditions
as specified below:
• Storage temperature: 4 to 53 C (39 to 127 F).
• Storage humidity: 8 to 90% relative humidity.
• Store in an area free from dust, sand, smoke, etc.
Be sure to apply the disk label at the proper posi-
tion. When changing the label never cover the old
label with a new label; always remove the old
label first.
Head Cleaning
The head of the disk drive unit will get dirty as
you use it eventually causing data errors. If this oc-
curs, clean the head with a 3.5 inch head cleaning
disk (available from most computer supply stores).
Data Backup
It is recommended that you copy your recorded
songs to another disk for backup (see page 136). If
the original disk is damaged or your song is deleted,
the backup disk can be used instead of the original.
