Precautions when using the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal
CLP-380 Owner’s Manual 123
Appendix
By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well as
read data from the connected device.
nAlthough CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data.
This instrument has two USB [TO DEVICE] terminals;
one on the left of the panel and one on the terminal at the
front.
Both are the same terminal; however, both cannot be used
at the same time. Use the [SELECT] switch to select the
desired terminal. Switching to “A” selects the terminal on
the left of the panel, while switching to “B” selects the
terminal panel at the front.
CAUTION
While the USB storage device is connected to the instrument, do
NOT use the [SELECT] switch.
CAUTION
While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the Save,
Copy and Delete operations), do NOT use the [SELECT] switch.
Doing so may corrupt the media or data.
nIf you connect USB storage devices to both USB [TO
DEVICE] terminals, the devices may not operate
properly.
The number of USB storage device to be
used
Up to two 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 two.) 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 46).
CAUTION
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.
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).
CAUTION
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. 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.
