2. Floppy disks

The disk CFD-01P contains automatic accompaniment data and voice program data.
The information on these disks can be read by the floppy disk drive of the C-900.
You can also use commercially available blank disks to store your own performances
(including the automatic accompaniment) as data.
In addition, data that you recorded or Standard MIDI File format data from a commer-
cially available music disk can be loaded into the C-900 and played back.
When using floppy disks, please observe the cautions given below. Incorrect disk han-
dling may result in loss of the recorded data.

Floppy disk types and formats

The C-900 can use two types of 3.5 inch floppy disk: 2DD or 2HD.
A new disk or one that has been used by a different device cannot be used by the
C-900. Such disks must first be "formatted" before they can be used by the C-900.
For the formatting procedure, refer to the topic "FORMAT (Format Disk)" on p.58 of
the Reference Guide.

Floppy disk handling

• Do not open the disk shutter or touch the magnetic surface inside the floppy disk. If
the magnetic disk becomes soiled or scratched, it will be impossible to read or write
data.
• Never transport the C-900 with a floppy disk inserted in the floppy disk drive.
Vibration may cause the disk drive heads to scratch the floppy disk, making it unus-
able.
• Do not put floppy disks near a magnetic field, such as televisions, computers, com-
puter displays, speakers, or power transformers. Doing so may erase the data
recorded on the disk.
• Avoid using or storing floppy disks in locations of high temperature or humidity, or
locations with excessive dust or dirt.
• Do not place objects on top of a floppy disk.
• Floppy disks should be stored in an appropriate case.
• While the floppy disk drive is operating, do not move the piano.
