TERMINOLOGY
What is SMF (Standard MIDI File)?
The SMF (Standard MIDI File) format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence formats used for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and Format 1. A large number of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and most commercially available MIDI sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0.

Commercially Available Song Data
Song data purchased by using a computer and commercially available Disk Songs are available when you connect the floppy disk drive to the instrument. The instrument is compatible with the Song disks (floppy disks) that bear the following marks:

Before using a USB storage device, be sure to read "Precautions when using the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal" on page 22.

NOTE
Before using a floppy disk and the disk slot, be sure to read "Handling the Floppy Disk Drive FDD) and Floppy Disks" on page 23.

NOTE
Commercially available music data is subject to protection by copyright laws. Copying commercially available data is strictly prohibited, except for your own personal use.



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, floppy disk drive, 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: 
http://music.yamaha.com/download/

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.
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 read data from the connected device.

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

The number of USB storage device to be used
Up to one USB storage devices can be connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal. 

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 24).

CAUTION
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 operations).

CAUTION
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 operations), 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.



Handling the floppy disk drive (FDD) and floppy disks
Install the optional UD-FD01 floppy disk drive to use floppy disks with the instrument.  It 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.

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

Formatting a floppy disk
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 24.  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.

NOTE
Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be useable as is on other devices.

Inserting/removing Floppy Disks
Inserting a floppy disk into the disk drive
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.

NOTE
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.

Removing a floppy disk
After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the floppy disk, 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 playback.

CAUTION
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.

Cleaning the disk drive read/write head
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 headcleaning disks.

About floppy disks
Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these precautions:
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 protect your data (write-protect tab):
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).

(Figure)
Write-protect tab ON (locked or write protected)
Write-protect tab OFF (unlocked or write enabled)

Data backup
For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged.

This is the end of the file.
