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.
