When the limit is reached, an error is generated and further access is restricted. This makes it difficult to correct the problem using the filemanagement tools on the instrument.

It scans folders on the computer, on USB storage media connected to the PC, or on a hard disk on the Yamaha instrument connected via the MusicFinder-button-initiated Storage Mode. The number of files in each folder is displayed with more than 200 highlighted in red.
