Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks
Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD)
and Floppy Disks
The floppy disk drive allows you to load data from floppy disk to the instrument.
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.
■
Floppy Disk Compatibility
3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
■
Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks
Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk Drive:
• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing
upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward,
towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the
slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into
place and the eject button pops out.
Removing a Floppy Disk
• After checking that the instrument is not accessing*
the floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the
floppy disk drive is off), firmly press the eject button
at the upper right of the disk slot all the way in.
When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the
drive. If the floppy disk cannot be removed because it
is stuck, do not try to force it, but instead try pressing
the eject button again, or try re-inserting the disk and
attempt to eject it again.
* Access of the disk indicates an active operation and
the loading of data.
If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the
disk is automatically accessed, since the instrument
checks whether the disk has data.
CAUTION
Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument
itself while the disk is being accessed.
Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk
but also damage to the floppy disk drive.
* Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive
before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the
drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and
dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors.
■
Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head
• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument
employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of
magnetic particles from the disks used that will even-
tually cause read and write errors.
• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order
Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-
available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head
about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about
the availability of proper headcleaning disks.

About Floppy Disks
Handle floppy disks with care, and follow
these precautions:
• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply
pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy
disks in their protective cases when they are not in
use.
• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely
high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust
or liquids.
• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed
surface of the floppy disk inside.
• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as
those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc.,
since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase
data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.
• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or
housing.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels
to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are
attached in the proper location.
To Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab):
• To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide
the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position
(tab open). When saving data, make sure that the
disk’s write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” posi-
tion (tab closed).
NOTE
Never insert anything but floppy disks
into the disk drive. Other objects may
cause damage to the disk drive or
floppy disks.
