■Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write

Head......................................................................................
●Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument
employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of
magnetic particles from the disks used that will even-
tually cause read and write errors.
●To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order
Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-
available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the
head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer
about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.
●Never open or close the key cover while a disk is
extending from the drive (i.e. in the ejected position).
The key cover may contact the disk,– possibily dam-
aging the disk or even the disk drive.
●Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk
drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk
drive or floppy disks.

■About the Floppy Disks...................................

To handle floppy disks with care:

●Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or
apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep
floppy disks in their protective cases when they are
not in use.
●Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely
high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust
or liquids.
●Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the ex-
posed surface of the floppy disk inside.
●Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as
those produced by televisions, speakers, motors,
etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely
erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.
●Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or
housing.
●Do not attach anything other than the provided labels
to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are at-
tached in the proper location.

To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):

To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the
disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).

Data backup

For maximum data security Yamaha
recommends that you keep two copies of
important data on separate floppy disks.
This gives you a backup if one disk is lost
or damaged. To make a backup disk use
the Disk Copy function on page 142.

■Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks .............

To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:

Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing
upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards
the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly
pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the
eject button pops out.
Handling the Floppy DiskDrive (FDD) and Floppy Disks

● Precautions

Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with
care. Follow the important precautions below.

● Compatible Disk Type

3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
DISK IN USE

To eject a floppy disk:

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the
FDD is stopped (check if the [DISK IN USE] lamp is off).
Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk
will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected,
carefully remove it by hand.
DISK IN USE
DISK IN USE lamp
Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off
during recording, reading and playing back. Doing so can
damage the disk and possibly the disk drive.
If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not
pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject prop-
erly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed
position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only
a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull
out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this
situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the
floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try press-
ing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into
the slot and then repeat the eject procedure.
Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive
before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive
for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that
can cause data read and write errors.
