Connecting USB Devices ([USB TO DEVICE] terminal) You can connect a USB flash drive or a USB wireless LAN adaptor (sold separately) to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. This lets you save data you've created on the instrument to the USB flash drive (page 28). You can also connect the instrument to a smart device such as iPad via wireless LAN (page 102). 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 hub • USB wireless LAN adaptor (UD-WL01; may not be available depending on your area) 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: http://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. NOTE 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. NOTE • If you intend to connect two 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 re-connect the USB hub. • When connecting a USB cable, make sure that the length is less than 3 meters. Using a USB flash drive 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 two 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 two.) Formatting a USB flash drive You should format the USB flash drive only with this instrument (page 101). 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. 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. 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. • When connecting then disconnecting the USB device (and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the two operations. 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. 100 PSR-S970/S770 Owner's Manual
