Help function
You can view Help files (file extension .xml) provided by Yamaha. For the latest information on
help files, refer to the Yamaha Pro Audio website.
https://www.yamaha.com/proaudio/
In addition, using a commercially available text editor or the “Notepad” included with Microsoft
Windows, you can create a text file (file extension .txt) and display it on the console*.
* 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/text 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. Once the data has finished loading, subsequently
pressing the HELP button will display the help file instantly.
NOTE
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
