USB Flash Memory Operations By connecting the USB flash memory device to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, you can save the data created on this instrument, such as User Song and parameter settings. The saved data can be recalled to this instrument again for the future use. IMPORTANT • It is recommended to use the Power Adaptor when executing USB flash memory operations, since battery power may not be reliable enough to last through these crucial operations. When you try executing certain functions, the "Use Adaptor" indication may appear and the selected function cannot be executed. 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 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, check the following web page: http://download.yamaha.com/ NOTE • Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.  Connecting USB flash memory • 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. • 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. Using USB Flash Memory By connecting the instrument to a USB flash memory, you can save data you've created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device.  The number of USB flash memory to be used Only one USB flash memory device can be connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal.  Formatting USB flash memory When a USB flash memory is connected, a message may appear prompting you to format the device. If so, execute the Format operation (page 53). NOTICE • The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the USB flash memory you are formatting does not contain important data.  To protect your data (write-protect) To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with the particular USB flash memory. If you are saving data to the USB flash memory, make sure to disable write-protect.  Connecting/removing USB storage device Before removing the USB flash memory from the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save and Delete operations). NOTICE • Avoid frequently connecting/disconnecting the USB flash memory 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, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT unplug the USB flash memory, and do NOT turn the power off. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices. PSR-E433 Owner's Manual 51 Reference
