Using a SmartMedia Card

Your keyboard is equipped with a card slot that supports use
of SmartMedia

TM

memory cards. This makes it possible for

the keyboard to directly read commercially available SMF
data, which has been saved to a SmartMedia card from your
computer, for karaoke and lessons. SmartMedia data can be
used the same way as built-in tunes.
This keyboard supports SMF (FORMAT 0) data.

NOTE

• An SMF that is larger than about 120 Kbytes cannot be

used for a 3 Step Lesson or Evaluation Mode. Attempting
to do so will cause an error message to appear on the
display.

• This keyboard cannot write data to a SmartMedia card.
• The keyboard can manage up to 200 SMF data files.

IMPORTANT!

• There are two types of SmartMedia cards: 3.3V and 5V.

Note that this keyboard supports use of 3.3V type
SmartMedia cards only.

• Never try to use a 5V type SmartMedia card with this

keyboard.

• Note you will not be able to store data to, delete data

from, or rename a SmartMedia card that has a write
protect sticker affixed to the card’s write protect area.
