Playing Back a Song About Protected Songs If you buy or download Song data, it may be protected so that you cannot delete or copy, in order to prevent accidental erasure or protect copyright. These are called Protected Songs. Protected Songs can be saved to a USB flash memory confirmed by Yamaha. A Protected Song can be played back in the same way as Songs you've created, but it cannot be converted to XG format or EL format. It is not possible to edit the Registration data in the Protected Song, nor can the performance data be overwritten. If you want to edit a Protected Song, first copy it within one USB flash memory/folder, then edit the copy. (You cannot copy to another USB flash memory/ folder.) The copied Song (called "Protected Edit Song") is available only when the original Song (called "Protected Original Song") exists in the same folder. Be careful not to delete the Protected Original Song. NOTICE When you want to edit a Protected Song, first initialize the Registration Memory, then select the desired Song. If you have not initialized the Registration first, the edited Song may not be saved. Folder Protected Original Song Copy Protected Edit Song You cannot edit this Song You can edit this Song, only when it is in the folder that contains a Protected Original Song. NOTICE To move the Protected Song in a USB flash memory with a computer, you'll need to use the Musicsoft Downloader application. If you move the Song without Musicsoft Downloader, the Song cannot be played back. Musicsoft Downloader can be obtained at the following Internet address: http://download.yamaha.com/ Playing Back a Song This section describes how to play back a Song recorded with the MDR and the commercially available Song data which can be played back with the MDR 1 Select the Song to be played back.
