This instrument features a built-in 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 storage devices (flash memory, floppy disk drive, hard
disk drive, etc.)
• USB hub
• USB-LAN adaptor
The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially
available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of
USB devices that you purchase. Before purchasing 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
7
terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is
appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.

By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device (external
media), you can save data you've created to the connected device,
as well as read data from the connected device.
NOTE
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 four 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 four.) This instrument can
recognize 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 10).
The format operation overwrites any previously
existing data. Make sure that the media you are
formatting does not contain important data. Proceed
with caution, especially when connecting multiple
USB storage media.

When the USB unit (UD-USB01) is connected
While holding this button,
pull the unit toward you.
NOTE
When the USB unit (UD-USB01) is connected; during your
performance, make sure to slide the USB unit under the
keyboard. If you leave it in the forward position, there is a danger
of hitting it with your hand and breaking the USB device.
• If you intend to connect two or three devices at the same time
to a terminal, you should use a self-powered USB hub device.
Make sure to connect the USB hub to the USB TO DEVICE
terminal directly. Even if you are using USB unit (UD-
USB01), do not connect it to that USB unit. Up to two USB
hubs 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.
■ To protect 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).
While the instrument 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.
If you are using a USB flash memory which has a
lamp, the lamp will flash when the instrument is
accessing the USB flash memory.
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.
■ Data Backup
For maximum data security, Yamaha recommends that you
keep two copies of important data on separate USB storage
devices. This gives you a backup if one device is lost or
damaged.
