Working with USB flash drives
Precautions when using the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal
When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure
to handle the USB device with care. Follow the impor-
tant precautions below.
For more information about the handling of USB
devices, refer to the owner’s manual of the USB device.
 Compatible USB devices
• USB flash memory
Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or
mouse cannot be used.
The instrument does not necessarily support all com-
mercially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guar-
antee operation of USB devices that you purchase.
Although USB devices 1.1 to 3.0 can be used on this
instrument, the amount of time for saving to or loading
from the USB device may differ depending on the type
of data or the status of the instrument.
Before purchasing a USB device for use with this
instrument, please 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 con-
nected in the proper direction.
Using USB Flash Memory
By connecting the instrument to a USB flash memory,
you can save data you’ve created to the connected USB
flash memory, as well as read data from the connected
USB flash memory.
 Number of USB flash memories that can be used
Only one USB flash memory device can be connected
to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal.
 Formatting USB flash memory
You should format the USB storage device only with
this instrument (page 33). A USB storage device for-
matted on another device may not operate properly.
 To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect provided with each USB
flash memory. If you are saving data to the USB flash
memory, make sure to disable write-protect.
 Turning off the instrument
When turning off the instrument, make sure that the
instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash memory by
playback/recording or file management (such as during
Save, Copy, Delete and Format operations). Failure to
do so may corrupt the USB flash memory and the data.
• The rating of the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal is a maximum
of 5V/500mA. Do not connect USB devices having a rating
above this, since this can cause damage to the instrument
itself.
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device while
executing playback/recording and file management opera-
tions (such as Save, Copy, Delete and Format), or when
accessing the USB device. Failure to do so may result in
“freezing” of the operation of the instrument or corruption
of the USB device and the data.
• When connecting then disconnecting the USB device
(and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between
the two operations.
• When connecting a USB cable, make sure that the length is less than 3 meters.

NOTE
• The Format operation overwrites any previously existing
data. Make sure that the USB flash memory you are for-
matting does not contain important data.
