Transferring Backup files from
the Instrument to a Computer
● ●
You can use the Musicsoft Downloader to transfer
Backup files containing backup data (page 39),
including the five User Songs stored on the instru-
ment, to a computer. If you click “Electronic Musi-
cal Instruments” in the Musicsoft Downloader
display, and then “System Drive,” a file named
“PSR-S500.BUP” will appear in the lower right
corner of the Musicsoft Downloader display. This
is the backup file. For details about how to transfer
backup files using the Musicsoft Downloader
application, refer to the Online help in the applica-
tion.
• Preset Song data cannot be transmitted from the instrument.
NOTE
• The backup data, including the five User Songs’ is transmitted/
received as a single file. As a result, all backup data will be over-
written every time you transmit or receive. Keep this in mind when
transferring data.
CAUTION
• Do not rename the backup file on the computer. If you do so it will
not be recognized when transferred to the instrument.
