Connecting to a USB-type LAN Adaptor and USB Storage Device (9 via the [USB TO DEVICE] Terminal) There are two ways of using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. ■ By connecting the USB-type LAN adaptor, you can directly access special Internet websites for downloading music data (page 172). ■ By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device with a standard USB cable, you can save data you've created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device. n About the [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE] terminals There are two different types of USB terminals on the instrument: [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE]. Take care not to confuse the two terminals and the corresponding cable connectors. Be careful to connect the proper plug in the proper direction. Explanations on the [USB TO HOST] terminal can be found in the previous section. Using USB Storage Devices This type is used to connect the instrument to a USB storage device, and allows you to save data you've created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device. The following description generally explains about how to connect and use them. Before using a USB storage device, be sure to read "Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Memory/Floppy Disk, etc)" on page 22. 1 Connect the USB storage device to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal with a standard USB cable. 2 After that, exit once from the selection display then return to the display (or press the Tab switch buttons [√] and [®] simultaneously from the selection display). The USB tabs (USB 1, USB 2, etc.) are automatically called up, allowing you to save files and play back music data from the devices. n Checking remaining memory on the USB storage device You can check this in the display called up by the following operation: [FUNCTION] → [J] UTILITY → TAB [√][®] MEDIA Select the device by using the [A]/[B] buttons in this display and press [F] (PROPERTY). n Even with a computer connected to the [USB TO HOST] terminal and a USB storage device connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, you cannot access the USB storage device from the computer via the instrument. Formatting USB storage media For details, see page 69. CAUTION Formatting a USB storage media completely erases all data on the media. Make sure that the USB storage media you're formatting does not contain important data!
