Handling The Floppy Disk Drive (Fdd) And Floppy Disks - Yamaha Clavinova CLP-100 Owner's Manual

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy
Disks
An optional floppy disk drive can be connected to the
USB jack. (CLP-370/340) For instructions on installing
a Yamaha UD-FD01 floppy disk drive, see page 91.
The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you've
created on the instrument to floppy disk, and 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 but-
ton pops out.
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other
objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.
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, such as
recording, playback, or deletion 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.

NOTE
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 head cleaning 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-pro-
tect 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" position (tab
closed).
