Connecting a USB Flash Memory ([USB TO DEVICE] terminal)

By connecting a USB flash memory to the instrument's [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, you can save data you've
created to the device.
Precautions when using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal
When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions
below.
NOTE
For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the owner's manual of the USB device.
Compatible USB devices
• USB flash memory
• USB hub
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:

NOTE
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.
NOTICE
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB storage device during
playback/recording, file management (such as Save, Copy, Delete
and Format operations) or accessing the USB storage device. Fail-
ure to do so may result in "freezing" of the operation of the instru-
ment or corruption of the USB storage device and the data.
• When connecting then disconnecting the USB storage device (and
vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the two
operations.
NOTE
• If you intend to connect two USB flash memories at the same time to a termi-
nal, 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-con-
nect the USB hub.
• When connecting a USB cable, make sure that the length is less than 3 meters.
• (PSR-S950) The instrument supports USB 1.1 and 2.0.
• (PSR-S750) Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you can
connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument.

Using USB Flash Memories
By connecting the instrument to a USB flash memory,
you can save data you've created to the connected USB
flash memory, as well as read data from the connected
USB flash memory.
Maximum number of USB flash memories
allowed
Up to two USB flash memories can be simultaneously
connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If
necessary, use a USB hub. The number of USB flash
memories that can be used simultaneously with the
instrument even when a USB hub is used is a maximum
of two.)
Formatting USB flash memory
When a USB flash memory is connected, a message may
appear prompting you to format the USB flash memory.
If so, execute the Format operation (page 93).
NOTICE
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make
sure that the USB flash memory you are formatting does not contain
important data. Proceed with caution, especially when connecting
multiple USB flash memories.
To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect provided with each USB
flash memory. If you are saving data to the USB flash
memory, make sure to disable write-protect.
Turning off the instrument
When turning off the instrument, make sure that the
instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash memory by
playback/recording or file management (such as during
Save, Copy, Delete and Format operations). Failure to do
so may corrupt the USB flash memory and the data.
