Precautions when using the USB [TO DEVICE] 
terminal
This instrument features a built-in 

 ter-

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

USB storage devices (flash memory, floppy disk drive, 
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 
visit the following web page:

When connecting a USB device to the

 

terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is 
appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.

Notice
When connecting a USB device to the USB [TO DEVICE] termi-
nal on the top panel, remove it before closing the key cover. If 
the key cover is closed with the USB device connected, the USB 
device may be damaged.

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.

Only one USB storage devices can be connected to the 

 terminal.

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 37).

Notice
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. 
Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain 
important data.

To prevent important data from being inadvertently 
erased, apply the write-protect provided with each stor-
age device or media. If you are saving data to the USB 
storage device, make sure to disable write-protect.

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

Notice
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 dur-
ing Save, Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is 
mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection), 
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.

For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the 
owner’s manual of the USB device.

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

Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instru-
ment, they cannot be used for saving data.
