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.
Compatible USB devices
• USB flash memory
The instrument does not necessarily support all
commercially available USB devices. Yamaha can-
not guarantee operation of USB devices that you
purchase. Before purchasing a USB device for use
with this instrument, please visit the following web

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 con-
nected in the proper direction.
Using USB flash memory
By connecting the instrument to a USB flash mem-
ory, you can save data you’ve created to the con-
nected device, as well as read data from the
connected USB flash memory.
Maximum number of USB flash memory
allowed
Only one USB flash memory can be connected to
the USB TO DEVICE terminal.
Formatting USB flash memory
When a USB flash memory is connected, a mes-
sage may appear prompting you to format the USB
flash memory. If so, execute the Format operation
(page 72).
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 control
(such as during Save, Delete and Format opera-
tions). Failure to do so may corrupt the USB flash
memory and the data.
• 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.
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device
during playback/recording, file control (such as Save,
Delete and Format operations) 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.
• 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.
