Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Memory/Floppy Disk, etc)

This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE] termi-
nal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be
sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the
important precautions below.

For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to
the owner's manual of the USB device.
Compatible USB devices
• USB storage devices (flash memory, floppy disk drive,
hard disk drive, etc.)
• USB hub
• USB-LAN adaptor
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:

n
Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or
mouse cannot be used.
Connecting 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.
CAUTION
When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO DEVICE]
terminal on the top panel, remove it before closing the
key cover. If the key cover is closed with the USB device
connected, the USB device may be damaged.
• If you intend to connect two or three devices at the same
time to a terminal, you should use a USB hub device.
The USB hub must be self-powered (with its own power
source) and the power must be on. Only one USB hub
can be used. If an error message appears while using the
USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then
turn on the power of the instrument and re-connect the
USB hub.
• Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard,
you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with
the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is
that of USB 1.1.

Using USB Storage Devices
By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you
can save data you've created to the connected device, as
well as read data from the connected device.
n
Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to
the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data.
The number of USB storage device to be
used
Up to two USB storage devices can be connected to the
[USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub.
The number of USB storage devices that can be used
simultaneously with musical instruments even when a USB
hub is used is a maximum of two.) This instrument can rec-
ognize up to four drives in one USB storage device.
Formatting USB storage media
When a USB storage device is connected or media is
inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format
the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation
(page 68).
CAUTION
The format operation overwrites any previously existing
data. Make sure that the media you are formatting does
not contain important data. Proceed with caution, espe-
cially when connecting multiple USB storage media.
Protecting your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased,
apply the write-protect provided with each storage device
or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device,
make sure to disable write-protect.
Connecting/removing USB storage
device
Before removing the media from the device, make sure
that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the
Save, Copy and Delete operations).
CAUTION
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB
storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the device
too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the
instrument "freezing" or hanging up. While the instru-
ment is accessing data (such as during Save, Copy, Delete,
Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB
storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT
unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the media
from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either
device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both
devices.
