Precautions when using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal
This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be
sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below.
NOTE
For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the owner's manual of the USB device.
 Compatible USB devices
• USB flash drive
Other USB devices such as a USB hub, computer key-
board or mouse cannot be used.
The instrument does not necessarily support all commer-
cially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee
operation of USB devices that you purchase. Before pur-
chasing a USB device for use with this instrument, please
visit the following web page:

Although USB devices 1.1 to 3.0 can be used on this
instrument, the amount of time for saving to or loading
from the USB device may differ depending on the type of
data or the status of the instrument.
NOTE
The rating of the USB TO DEVICE terminal is a maximum of 5V/500mA. Do
not connect USB devices having a rating above this, since this can cause
damage to the instrument itself.
 Connecting a USB device
When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the
device is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper
direction.
NOTICE
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device during play-
back/recording and file management operations (such as Save,
Copy, Delete and Format), or when accessing the USB device.
Failure to observe this may result in "freezing" of the operation
of the instrument or corruption of the USB device and the data.
• When connecting then disconnecting the USB device (and vice
versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the two oper-
ations.
NOTE
• Do not use an extension cable when connecting a USB device.
 Using USB flash drives
By connecting the instrument to a USB flash drive, you
can save data you've created to the connected device, as
well as read data from the connected device.
 Number of USB flash drives that can be used
Only one USB flash drive can be connected to each of the
[USB TO DEVICE] terminals.
 Formatting a USB flash drive
You should format the USB flash drive only with this
instrument (page 112). A USB flash drive formatted on
another device may not operate properly.
NOTICE
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data.
Make sure that the device you are formatting does not contain
important data. Proceed with caution, especially when connect-
ing multiple USB flash drives.
 To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect provided with each USB
flash drive. If you are saving data to the device, make sure
to disable write-protect.
 Turning off the instrument
When turning off the instrument, make sure that the
instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash drive by play-
back/recording or file management (such as during Save,
Copy, Delete and Format operations). Failure to do so
may corrupt the device and the data.
