Using USB Flash Memory Saving Data Three types of data are saved to one "User File" by this operation: user song, style file, and registration memory data.

A default file name will automatically be created. f r Cursor left Cursor right Delete character Select characters Cursor ● To Overwrite an Existing File If you want to overwrite a file that already exists on the USB flash memory device, use the dial or the [+/YES] and [-/NO] buttons to select the file, then skip ahead to step 6. NOTE • If the USB flash memory has been write-protected, an appropriate message will appear in the display and you will not be able to execute the operation. • If there is not enough capacity left on the USB flash memory device to save the data, an appropriate message will appear in the display and you will not be able to save the data. Erase unwanted files from the USB flash memory device to make more memory available (page 79), or use a different USB device. • Refer to the "Messages" list on page 96 for other possible errors that might prevent you from completing the operation. 4 Press the [EXECUTE] button. A cursor will appear below the first character in the file name. 5 Change the file name as necessary. • The [1] button moves the cursor to the left, and the [2] button moves it to the right. • Use the dial to select a character for the current cursor location. • The [8] button deletes the character at the cursor location. 76 PSR-S500 Owner's Manual 6 Press the [EXECUTE] button.

The user song will be stored to the USER FILE folder in the USB flash memory device. CAUTION • Once the save-in-progress message appears in the display, the operation cannot be canceled. Never turn off the power or remove the USB flash memory device during this operation. 8 Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display. NOTE • If an existing filename is specified the display prompts you for confir- mation. Press [EXECUTE] or [+/YES] if it is OK to overwrite the file, or [-/NO] to cancel. • The amount of time it will take to perform the save operation depends on the particular USB flash memory device you are using.
