Disks Used with the Disklavier
Three types of disks are used with the Disklavier: floppy disks, CDs, and internal Memory Disks.
Floppy Disks
Besides PianoSoft and PianoSoft.Plus song disks,
the Disklavier can play back songs stored on 3.5-
inch MS-DOS 720 Kbyte format 2DD floppy
disks and MS-DOS 1.44 Mbyte format 2HD
floppy disks.
Handling Floppy Disks
Be careful of the following when handling floppy
disks.
• Do not touch the surface of a disk.
• Do not store or place disks near a television,
radio, loudspeaker, or any other device that
generates a magnetic field.
• Do not expose disks to extreme temperature or
humidity. The working temperature range for
disks is between 4˚C and 52˚C (40˚F to
125˚F).
• Do not use disks in a dusty, dirty or smoky
environment.
• Remove the disk before you turn off the
Disklavier.
Accidental Erasure Protection
Floppy disks have an erasure protection tab which
can be set so that the Disklavier cannot record
new data onto the disk. This is useful for
protecting valuable song data against accidental
erasure and disk formatting. The protection tab is
located on the reverse side of the disk in the
bottom right-hand corner.
Protected
When the tab window is open,
data is protected.
Unprotected
When the tab window is closed,
data is not protected.
