Connecting a USB Storage Device

You can connect a USB storage device to the USB TO DEVICE terminal on the rear panel of this instrument.

minal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be
sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the impor-
tant precautions below.

Compatible USB devices

USB storage devices (flash memory, hard disk drive, etc.)

The instrument does not necessarily support all commer-
cially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee
operation of USB devices that you purchase. Before pur-
chasing a USB device for use with this instrument, please
consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha dis-
tributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice,
or visit the following web page:

■

Connecting a 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 direction.

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.

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.

■

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
123).

■

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 a USB storage
device

Before removing the media from the device, make sure that
the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save,
Load and Delete operations).

Precautions When Using the USB TO
DEVICE Terminal

NOTE

• For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the

owner’s manual of the USB device.

NOTE

• Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be

used.

NOTE

• When connecting a USB cable, use it less than 3 meters.

Using USB Storage Devices

NOTE

• Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they

cannot be used for saving data.

• The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make

sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important data.

• 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 “freezing” or hanging up. While the
instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Delete, Load and
Format operations), 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.
