Precautions for Purchasing Expansion SIMM

Memory

Some types of commonly available SIMM memory may not

work properly with the RS7000, and we cannot guarantee opera-

tion with untested memory types. Please check with the retail

outlet where you purchased your RS7000, or an authorized

Yamaha representative, before purchasing expansion SIMM

memory.

AIEB2 I/O Expansion Board

Initially the RS7000 can only record samples from analog

sources, and only analog output capability is provided. With the

optional AIEB2 I/O Expansion Board, however, you gain optical

and coaxial terminals for direct digital signal input and output.

Also, 6 assignable outputs (ASSIGNABLE OUT 1 ~ 6) are pro-

vided in addition to the standard OUTPUT jacks.

Refer to page 276 in the Appendix for details on installing the

AIEB2 I/O Expansion Board.

The RS7000 supports SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) to protect the copyrights of music software.

Data that was digitally sampled from a CD or other source cannot be saved to a memory card or SCSI disk in WAV format, or transferred

via the TWE wave editor as sample data. If you wish to save this data, you must save it in the RS7000’s own format.

IMPORTANT

• Use only 4, 8, 16, or 32 megabyte 72-pin SIMMs

with an access time faster than 70ns. x32bit SIMMs

are the standard, but x36bit types (with parity) can

also be used.

• Always install SIMMs in pairs of the same capacity.

A single SIMM will not work.

• The RS7000 comes with 4 megabytes of pre-

installed sample memory. Thus if you install a pair of

16 megabyte SIMMs (32 megabytes total) you will

have 36 megabytes (32 + 4 megabytes) of sample

memory. However, since the maximum allowable

sample memory for the RS7000 is 64 megabytes, if

you install a pair of 32 megabyte SIMMs (64 mega-

bytes total) the initial 4 megabytes will not be used.

• SIMMs which use more than 19 memory chips per

unit may not function properly with the RS7000.

Please choose SIMMs which use 18 or fewer mem-

ory chips.

• We recommend SIMMs which conform to JEDEC*

standards. However, even though a SIMM which

conforms to the JEDEC internal circuit conﬁguration

functions perfectly in a computer, there is no guar-

antee that it will work properly with the RS7000.

*JEDEC stands for the “Joint Electron Device

Engineering Council”, a group which sets stan-

dards for the configurations of electronic

devices.

NOTE

The AIEB1 expansion I/O board cannot be

used.
