Using Usb Flash Memory - Yamaha PSR-S550 Owner's Manual

Using USB Flash Memory

USB flash memory is a memory medium used for storing data. When a USB flash mem-
ory device is inserted in this instrument's USB TO DEVICE terminal, user Songs and
user Styles created on the instrument and the registered settings can be saved to or
loaded from the device. USB flash memory can also be used to transfer Song, Style
MDB data downloaded from the Internet to the instrument. Furthermore, user Songs
saved to USB flash memory in MIDI file format can also be used with these features.
In this section we'll look at the procedures for setting up and formatting USB flash
memory devices, as well as for saving and loading data to and from them.
If you don't have a USB flash memory device, you will need to purchase one (or more, as
needed).
The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage
devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase.
Before purchasing a USB storage device, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an autho-
rized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner's Manual) for advice.
Before using a USB device, read through the "Precautions when using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal"
section on page 93. For information about USB devices compatible with the instrument, see "Connection to
a USB Storage Device" on page 90.
