will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will

eventually cause read and write errors.

• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recom-

mends 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.

Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects

may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.

■ About the Floppy Disks

To handle floppy disks with care:

• 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 tem-

peratures, 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).

WARNING

• Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the PSR-8000 and

connected peripherals, and unplug them from the power outlet. Then

remove all cables connecting the PSR-8000 to other devices. (Leaving

the power cord connected while working can result in electric shock.

Leaving other cables connected can interfere with work.)

• Do not disassemble, modify, or apply excessive force to board areas and

connectors on hard disk, and SIMMs. Bending or tampering with boards

and connectors may lead to electric shock, fire, or equipment failures.

CAUTION

• Before handling the internal hard disk or SIMMs, you should briefly touch

the metal surface to which the hard-disk or SIMM cover is attached (or

Precautions

• Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow

the important precautions below.

Compatible Disk Type

• 3.5” 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.

■ Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks

To insert 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.

To eject a floppy disk:

• Before ejecting a floppy disk make

sure that the floppy disk drive is not

in operation (the DISK IN USE indi-

cator should be off, except when the

internal hard disk is being accessed).

Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automati-

cally pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.

• Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during recording,

reading and playing back. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly

the disk drive.

• If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as

it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become

stuck in a half-pressed position with the disk extending from the drive

slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out

the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage

the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected

disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into

the slot and then repeat the eject procedure.

• 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 preci-

sion magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use,

other such metallic area — be careful of any sharp edges) with your

bare hand so as to drain off any static charge from your body. Note that

even a slight amount of electrostatic discharge may cause damage to

these components.

• It is recommended that you wear gloves to protect your hands from

metallic projections on the PSR-8000 hard disk, SMMs, and other com-

ponents. Touching leads or connectors with bare hands may cause fin-

ger cuts, and may also result in poor electrical contact or electrostatic

damage.

• Take care to avoid dropping screws into the PSR-8000 unit. If a screw

does fall in, be sure to remove it before replacing the cover and powering

up the unit. Starting the unit with a loose screw inside may lead to im-

proper operation or equipment failure. (If you are unable to retrieve a

dropped screw, consult your Yamaha dealer for advice.)

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk

Handling and Installation of Options

Data backup

• For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two

copies of important data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup

if one disk is lost or damaged. To make a backup disk use the COPY

FILE/FD function on page 143.

Write protected Write enabled
