handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below.
● Compatible USB devices

cially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee

● Connecting USB device
• When connecting a USB device to the USB TO DEVICE
terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is
appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direc-
tion.
• Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard,
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.
● Using USB Storage Devices
By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you
can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as
well as read data from the connected device.
The number of USB storage device to be used
Only one USB storage devices can be connected to the
USB TO DEVICE terminal.
Formatting USB storage media
When a USB storage device is connected or media is
inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format
the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation (page
98).
To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased,
apply the write-protect provided with each storage device
or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device,
make sure to disable write-protect.
Connecting/removing USB storage device
Before removing the media from the device, make sure that
the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save
and Delete operations).
• Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data.
NOTE
• Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot
be used.
NOTE
• Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instru-
ment, they cannot be used for saving data.
NOTE
• The format operation overwrites any previously existing data.
Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain
important data.
CAUTION
• Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage
device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often.
Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument “freez-
ing” or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data
(such as during Save, Delete, Load and Format operations) or
is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connec-
tion), do NOT unplug the USB connector, 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.
