■ MEDIA
....................................................................................................................................................................
From the [FUNCTION] → UTILITY → MEDIA display, you can set or execute important media-related operations
(below) for the Tyros2. The word "media" includes the optional USB storage device and optionally installed hard disk
drive.
Turns the Song Auto Open function on or
off. When this is set to "ON," the Tyros2
automatically calls up the first song in the
media that is inserted to the drive.
The optionally installed hard disk unit will go into
a "sleep" mode after a specified time of inactivity,
both to maximize the lifetime of the hard disk and
to minimize unnecessary mechanical noise. This
parameter determines the sleep time.
● Checking remaining memory on the media (PROPERTY)
You can check the amount of remaining memory on the media.
1
Use the [A]/[B] button to select the desired media.
2
Press the [PROPERTY] LCD button ([F] button) to check the
memory size.
● Formatting a media (FORMAT)
Setting up media for use with the Tyros2 is refered to as "formatting." This function is
also useful for quickly deleting unnecessary files from an already formatted media. Be
careful when using this operation, since it automatically deletes all data on the media.
1
Use the [A]/[B] button to select the desired media.
2
Press the [FORMAT] LCD button ([H] button) to format the media.

NOTE
• When you select a song on a CD-ROM drive
to be auto-opened, the song may not be
called up automatically if the CD-ROM drive
takes a lot of time to be recognized.
NOTE
• When using the Hard Disk Recorder function,
always set this to "NEVER." If you set this to
something other than "NEVER," the Hard Disk
Recorder may not operate correctly.
IMPORTANT
• If you use the floppy disk, make
sure to read the section "Han-
dling the floppy disk drive
(FDD) and floppy disks" on
page 231.
NOTE
• Commercially available music
data is subject to protection by
copyright laws. Copying commer-
cially available data is strictly pro-
hibited, except for your own
personal use. Some music soft-
ware is purposely copy-protected
and cannot be copied.
CAUTION
• Formatting a media completely
erases all data on the media.
Make sure that the media you're
formatting does not contain
important data!
NOTE
• The Tyros2 is capable of format-
ting an installed hard disk having a
cluster size of less than 32 Kbyte,
creating a single partition only;
multiple partitions cannot be cre-
ated. However, if the installed hard
disk has been pre-formatted into
several partitions on another
instrument such as the PSR-9000
or 9000Pro, the Tyros2 can access
up to four partitions of the hard
disk.
