■Transferring Backup data from the Instrument to a Computer ● ●

You can use the Musicsoft Downloader to transfer Backup data (page 39) to a computer. If you click “Electronic Musical Instruments” in the Musicsoft Downloader display, and then “System Drive,” a file named “PSR-S550.BUP” will appear in the lower right corner of the Musicsoft Downloader display. This is the backup data. For details about how to transfer backup data using the Musicsoft Downloader application, refer to the Online help in the application.

NOTE

• Preset Song data cannot be transmitted from the instrument.

CAUTION

•The backup data, including the five User Songs’ is transmitted/ received as a single file. As a result, all backup data will be over- written every time you transmit or receive. Keep this in mind when transferring data.

CAUTION

•Do not rename the backup data on the computer. If you do so it will not be recognized when transferred to the instrument.
