Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Memory/Floppy Disk, etc.)

This instrument features a built-in USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device

with a standard USB cable, you can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the con-

nected device. Be sure to handle USB storage device with care. Follow the important precautions below.

For more information about the handling of USB storage device, refer to the owner’s manual of the USB storage device.

■Compatible USB storage devices

•One USB storage device, such as a ﬂoppy disk drive,

hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, ﬂash memory

reader/writer, etc., 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 with

musical instruments simultaneously even when a USB

hub is used is a maximum of one.) Other USB devices

such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be

used.

•The instrument does not necessarily support all com-

mercially available USB storage devices. Yamaha can-

not guarantee operation of USB storage devices that

you purchase. Before purchasing USB storage devices,

please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized

Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s

Manual) for advice, or visit the following web page:

Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to

the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data.

■Using USB Storage Devices

•When connecting a USB storage device to the USB

[TO DEVICE], make sure that the connector on the

device is appropriate and that it is connected in the

proper direction. Before removing the media from the

device, make sure that the instrument is not accessing

data (such as in the Save and Copy operations).

CAUTION

Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB

storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the cable

too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the

instrument “freezing” or hanging up. While the instru-

ment is accessing data (such as in the Save and Copy

operations), do NOT unplug the USB cable, 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 connecting a USB storage device and a LAN

adaptor at the same time, 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-connect the USB hub.

•Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 stan-

dard, 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 stor-

age device or media. If you are saving data to the USB

storage device, make sure to disable write-protect.
