CLP-380 Owner’s Manual

The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve 
created on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you 
to load data from floppy disk to the instrument.
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive 
with care. Follow the important precautions below.

3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.

If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or 
old disks that have been used with other devices, you may 
need to format them. For details on how to format a disk, 
see page 46. Keep in mind that all data on the disk will be 
lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand 
whether or not the disk contains important data.

n Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be 

useable as is on other devices.

Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward 
and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk 
slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing 
it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject 
button pops out.

n Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. 

Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or 
floppy disks.

After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the 
floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the floppy disk 
drive is off), firmly press the eject button at the upper 
right of the disk slot all the way in. When the floppy disk 
is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the floppy disk cannot 
be removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but 
instead try pressing the eject button again, or try re-
inserting the disk and attempt to eject it again. 

* Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as 

recording, playback, or deletion of data. If a floppy disk is 
inserted while the power is on, the disk is automatically 
accessed, since the instrument checks whether the disk has 
data.

Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument itself 
while the disk is being accessed.
Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but also 
damage to the floppy disk drive.

Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive 
before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the 
drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt 
that can cause data-read and -write errors.

Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument 
employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, 
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of 
magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually 
cause read and write errors. 
To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order 
Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-
available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head 
about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the 
availability of proper head cleaning disks.

• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply 

pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy 
disks in their protective cases when they are not in use.

• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely 

high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust 
or liquids.

• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed 

surface of the floppy disk inside.

• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those 

produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since 
magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data 
on the disk, rendering it unreadable.

• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or 

housing.

• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels 

to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached 
in the proper location.

To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the 
disk's write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab 
open). When saving data, make sure that the disk’s write-
protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab closed).
