Precautions when using the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal
This instrument features a built-in [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal. When connecting a USB device
to the terminal, be sure to handle the USB device with
care. Follow the important precautions below.
NOTE
For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer
to the owner's manual of the USB device.
 Compatible USB devices
• USB storage devices (flash memory, hard disk drive,
etc.)
• USB hub
The instrument does not necessarily support all
commercially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot
guarantee operation of USB devices that you purchase.
Before purchasing a USB device for use with this
instrument, please visit the following web page:

NOTE
Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse
cannot be used.
 Connecting 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
connected in the proper direction.
NOTICE
When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO DEVICE]
terminal 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.
• When connecting a USB cable, Use it less than 3
meters.
• If you intend to connect two or three devices at the
same time to a terminal, you should use a USB hub
device. The USB hub must be self-powered (with its
own power source) and the power must be on. Only
one USB hub can be used. If an error message appears
while using the USB hub, disconnect the hub from the
instrument, then turn on the power of the instrument
and re-connect the USB hub.
• Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1
standard, you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage
device with the instrument. However, note that the
transfer speed is that of USB 1.1.
Using USB Storage Devices
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.
 The number of USB storage device to be
used
Up to two USB storage devices can be connected to
the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a
USB hub. The number of USB storage devices that
can be used simultaneously with musical instruments
even when a USB hub is used is a maximum of two.)
This instrument can recognize up to four drives in
one USB storage device.
 Formatting USB storage media
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 46).
NOTICE
The format operation overwrites any previously existing data.
Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain
important data. Proceed with caution, especially when
connecting multiple USB storage media.
 To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently
erased, apply the write-protect provided with each
storage device or media. If you are saving data to the
USB storage device, make sure to disable write-
protect.
 Connecting/removing USB storage device
Before removing the media from the device, make
sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as
in the Save, Copy, Delete and Format 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 during Save, Copy, Delete, 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.
