4.4 File Transfer Via the USB Port
On the front panel of the amplifi er is a USB Type A port which can transfer fi les either
direction between a USB fl ash drive and the amplifi er. These fi les can be of two types:
A Preset fi le, which contains amplifi er DSP settings for a specifi c loudspeaker/
amplifi er confi guration.
A Device fi le, which contain all 50 presets and the current amplifi er DSP settings.
When you plug in the drive, the amplfi ier defaults to a fi le-exchange mode and is
muted. Then you can load or save individual fi les. No computer is needed for this fi le
transfer.
How to transfer a fi le from a USB fl ash drive to the amplifi er:
1. The fi le must reside in the fl ash-drive root (top-level) directory.
2. Plug the fl ash drive into the amplifi er’s USB port on the front panel.
3. The screen asks if you want to load or save a fi le. Press the left Encoder to LOAD a
fi le.
4. The screen asks whether you want to load a device fi le or preset fi le. Press the left
Encoder to load a device fi le, or press the right Encoder to load a preset fi le.
5. The screen says “Select File to Load.” Turn an Encoder to select the fi le.
6. If you are loading a preset, the front panel shows the acceptable fi les in the fl ash
drive root directory. Turn the Encoder to view the fi les; press the Encoder to select.
Note: You can’t explore folders or subfolders.
7. The amplifi er loads the fi le into its memory and displays the Eject Menu. To stop
the transfers, press the left Encoder. To continue with more transfers, press the right
Encoder.
8. Unplug the fl ash drive. The amp is unmuted and returns to the determined state.
9. If desired, recall the preset following the procedures in Sections 4.3.2 and 4.3.3.
