PSR-S550 Owner’s Manual 83
Using USB Flash Memory
USB flash memory is a memory medium used for storing data. When a USB flash mem-
ory device is inserted in this instrument’s USB TO DEVICE terminal, user Songs and
user Styles created on the instrument and the registered settings can be saved to or
loaded from the device. USB flash memory can also be used to transfer Song, Style
MDB data downloaded from the Internet to the instrument. Furthermore, user Songs
saved to USB flash memory in MIDI file format can also be used with these features.
In this section we’ll look at the procedures for setting up and formatting USB flash
memory devices, as well as for saving and loading data to and from them.
Before using a USB device, read through the “Precautions when using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal”
section on page 93. For information about USB devices compatible with the instrument, see “Connection to
a USB Storage Device” on page 90.
1
Connect a USB flash memory to the
USB TO DEVICE terminal, being careful
to insert it in the proper direction. (Do
not try to force an improper connec-
tion.)
2
Check that the “CONNECT” message is
shown in the MAIN display.
You can go to the FILE CONTROL display
from which you can access USB flash memory
operations by pressing the [FILE MENU] but-
ton from this display.
(Do not press this button now, but only when
instructed to in the sections below.)
* This particular menu item has no relation to USB opera-
tions, but it can be used to delete a User Song.
If you don’t have a USB flash memory device, you will need to purchase one (or more, as
needed).
The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage
devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase.
Before purchasing a USB storage device, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an autho-
rized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice.
