Precautions for Purchasing Expansion SIMM
Memory
Some types of commonly available SIMM memory may not
work properly with the RS7000, and we cannot guarantee opera-
tion with untested memory types. Please check with the retail
outlet where you purchased your RS7000, or an authorized
Yamaha representative, before purchasing expansion SIMM
memory.
AIEB2 I/O Expansion Board
Initially the RS7000 can only record samples from analog
sources, and only analog output capability is provided. With the
optional AIEB2 I/O Expansion Board, however, you gain optical
and coaxial terminals for direct digital signal input and output.
Also, 6 assignable outputs (ASSIGNABLE OUT 1 ~ 6) are pro-
vided in addition to the standard OUTPUT jacks.
Refer to page 276 in the Appendix for details on installing the
AIEB2 I/O Expansion Board.
The RS7000 supports SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) to protect the copyrights of music software.
Data that was digitally sampled from a CD or other source cannot be saved to a memory card or SCSI disk in WAV format, or transferred
via the TWE wave editor as sample data. If you wish to save this data, you must save it in the RS7000’s own format.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
Use only 4, 8, 16, or 32 megabyte 72-pin SIMMs
with an access time faster than 70ns. x32bit SIMMs
are the standard, but x36bit types (with parity) can
also be used.
Always install SIMMs in pairs of the same capacity.
A single SIMM will not work.
The RS7000 comes with 4 megabytes of pre-
installed sample memory. Thus if you install a pair of
16 megabyte SIMMs (32 megabytes total) you will
have 36 megabytes (32 + 4 megabytes) of sample
memory. However, since the maximum allowable
sample memory for the RS7000 is 64 megabytes, if
you install a pair of 32 megabyte SIMMs (64 mega-
bytes total) the initial 4 megabytes will not be used.
• SIMMs which use more than 19 memory chips per
unit may not function properly with the RS7000.
Please choose SIMMs which use 18 or fewer mem-
ory chips.
• We recommend SIMMs which conform to JEDEC*
standards. However, even though a SIMM which
conforms to the JEDEC internal circuit configuration
functions perfectly in a computer, there is no guar-
antee that it will work properly with the RS7000.
*JEDEC stands for the “Joint Electron Device
Engineering Council”, a group which sets stan-
dards for the configurations of electronic
devices.
NOTE
The AIEB1 expansion I/O board cannot be
used.
