Connecting USB Devices ([USB TO DEVICE] terminal) You can connect a USB flash drive or a USB wireless LAN adaptor to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. This allows you to save data you've created on the instrument to the USB flash drive (page 33), as well as connect and use the instrument with a smart device via a USB wireless LAN adaptor (page 109). 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 flash drive • USB wireless LAN adaptor (UD-WL01; sold separately) Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used. 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: https://download.yamaha.com/ Although USB devices 1.1 to 3.0 can be used on this instrument, the amount of time for saving to or loading from the USB device may differ depending on the type of data or the status of the instrument. NOTICE The rating of the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal is a maximum of 5V/ 500mA. Do not connect USB devices having a rating above this, since this can cause damage to the instrument itself.  Connecting a 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. NOTICE • When connecting then disconnecting the USB device (and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the two operations. • Do not use an extension cable when connecting a USB device. NOTE If you intend to connect two or more devices at the same time to a terminal, you should use a bus-powered USB hub. 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 reconnect the USB hub.  Using USB flash drives By connecting the instrument to a USB flash drive, you can save data you've created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device.  Maximum number of USB flash drives allowed Up to four USB flash drives can be connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub. The number of USB flash devices that can be used simultaneously with musical instruments even when a USB hub is used is a maximum of four.)  Formatting a USB flash drive You should format the USB flash drive only with this instrument (page 109). A USB flash drive formatted on another device may not operate properly. NOTICE The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the USB flash drive you are formatting does not contain important data. Proceed with caution, especially when connecting multiple USB flash drives. NOTICE Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device while executing playback/recording and file management operations (such as Save, Copy, Delete and Format), or when accessing the USB device. Failure to observe this may result in "freezing" of the operation of the instrument or corruption of the USB device and the data.  To protect your data (write-protect) To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with each USB flash drive. If you are saving data to the USB flash drive, 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 drive by playback/recording or file management (such as during Save, Copy, Delete and Format operations). Failure to do so may corrupt the USB flash drive and the data. 108 PSR-A5000 Owner's Manual
