Computer
Use the procedures in this section to transfer Recorder
memory data to a computer for storage, and to load
songs to user song memory (Music Library 61).

• Turning off the Digital Piano while it is exchanging
data with a computer can cause data in Digital Piano
memory to become corrupted. If this happens, a
memory format operation will start the next time you
turn on the Digital Piano. Note that it takes about 20
seconds for the format operation to finish, and you
will not be able to perform any operation during that
time.
