Compatibility with a Broad Range of Sample Formats |

The A5000/A4000 have the ability to import and export AIFF and WAV files directly to and from any DOS-formatted floppy disk, hard disk or Zipdisk, as well as import from CD-ROM. Plus they are compatible with sample files from other Yamaha samplers such as the highly acclaimed A3000 and SU700, as well as compatible with various sample formats used by other manufacturers, thus giving you the support of a vast library of sounds. |

Notes
If you connect a hard disk with a capacity of more than 8GB, you will only be able to use a maximum of 8GB.
IBM uses the same model number for both its 68-pin and 80-pin SCSI hard disks. Be careful.
Some of the above hard disks and CD-R/RW drives are compatible with the A4000/5000 version 1.07 and later. The update can be downloaded from download page on this site.
The internal SCSI hard drives listed above exceed the power output requirements of the A3000 and thus cannot be installed in this model.
These drives can record only a maximum of 650MB of data even when using 700MB media.
In order to use the CRW4416SX, the unit's firmware must be version 1.0h or later, and to use the CRW6416SX, it must be version 1.0c or later. The latest firmware for each model can be downloaded free from Yamaha's related Web page.
The CRW8424SX is compatible with A4000/5000 version 1.07 and later. The update can be downloaded from download page on this site. |

It is not possible for Yamaha to check all available models of external CD-ROM drives for compatibility. However, there should be no problem as long as the CD-ROM drive uses a 50-pin SCSI connection. Internal CD-ROM drives from a PC cannot be used. MO disks with capacities of more than 640MB cannot be used. However, there is no problem in using 540MB and 230MB disks with a 640MB MO drive. |
