You can view Help files provided by Yamaha, or display any user-created text file.
We accept no responsibility for any damage that may occur as a result of using Help files created by a
third party other than Yamaha.
Loading a Help file from a USB flash drive
NOTE
A help file for only one language is stored in the console’s internal memory. Once you load the
help file, it will be preserved in internal memory even if the power is turned off.
The first time you press the HELP button to view the help file after turning the power on, it will take
a while for the help file to be loaded from internal memory. It is not possible to read from internal
memory while the USB flash drive is being accessed, including while the recorder is recording or
playing back, and therefore Help cannot be displayed during this time.
Once the data has finished loading, subsequently pressing the HELP button will display the help
file instantly.
1. Before you proceed, save the Help file (file extension: .xml) provided by Yamaha
on your USB flash drive. For the latest information on help files, refer to the
Yamaha Pro Audio website.
http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/
2. In the Function Access Area, press the SETUP button to access the SETUP screen.
3. Press the SAVE/LOAD button to access the SAVE/LOAD popup window.
4. To select the Help file (file extension: .xml) that you want to load, press one of the
Help files in the file list, or turn the multifunction knob on the panel.
5. Press the LOAD button. A confirmation dialog box will appear.
6. Press the OK button to load the file.
Loading a text file from a USB flash drive
1. Using a commercially available text editor or the “Notepad” included with
Microsoft Windows, create a text file (file extension: .txt) and save it on your USB
flash drive.
By default, the character code set of the text file will be detected as UTF-8. However, by adding a
line consisting of [ISO-8859-1] or [Shift_JIS] at the beginning of the file, you can force
recognition of the file using that character code set. You can specify the desired character code set
when using your text editor to save the text file.
The Help function is able to display the following text files (character code sets/languages).
Text files written in the ISO-8859-1 character code set (English, German, French, Spanish, etc.)
Text files written in the Shift_JIS character code set (Japanese)
Text files of the above languages written in the UTF-8 character code set.
The maximum size of the text file is 1024 Kbytes.
