The setup for recording with the DOM-30 and a Clavinova is
basically the same as the playback system shown on page 3,

. Load a Formatted Disk
If you haven't already done so, make sure that a properly
formatted disk is loaded into the DOM-30 disk drive, and that
the disk's write protect tab is set to the "write" position (tab
closed).
. Select a Song Number
When a properly formatted disk is loaded into the DOM-30, the
SONG SELECT mode will be automatically selected (this will
also happen if the power is turned ON when a formatted disk
is already in the drive).
If the "SONG NO" display is not showing (i.e. a different
mode has been selected), the SONG SELECT mode can be
selected simply by pressing the SONG SELECT button.
Use the NO « and > YES buttons or number buttons (0
through 9) to select a SONG NUMBER between 1 and 60 for
the piece you are about to record (up to 60 different songs, each
with a different song number, can be recorded on a single disk).
To use the number buttons, press two buttons in sequence to
select the desired number — e.g. press "O" and then "1" to
select song number 1 ("01"), or press "2" and then "'6" to
select song number 26. Make sure the song number you select
has not already been used for a song previously recorded on the

| > | > 600KByte FREE
A single disk can record a total of approximately 700 kilobytes
(a kilobyte is 1,024 bytes) of data — sufficient for many long
and complicated performances. In terms of notes, approximately
50,000 notes can be recorded continuously. This number will
vary, however, depending on the number of pedal operations
performed, volume changes, etc.
Note: Pre-recorded "Disk Orchestra Collection" disks and disks
recorded on a Yamaha Disklavier are specially protected and
cannot be recorded using the DOM-30. If you attempt to
record on one of these disks, the "PROTECT!!" message will
appear and recording will not be possible.
. Select a Record Track
While still holding the RECORD button, use the NO <4 and >
YES buttons to selected the desired record track number (1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10). It is also possible to select track
numbers by pressing the PLAY TRACK SELECT buttons:
"RIGHT/1" selects track 1, "LEFT/2" selects track 2, and
"ORCH/3-10" select a track between 3 and 10 (press the
ORCH/3-10 button a few times until the desired track number
appears on the display).
