Hi.
Quote from the Genos manual, probably similiar written in SX manuals:
Connecting a USB device
When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO
DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the
device is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper
direction.
Notice
• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device during playback/
recording and file management operations (such as Save,
Copy, Delete and Format), or when accessing the USB device.
Failure to observe this may result in “freezing” of the operation
of the instrument or corruption of the USB device and the data.
• When connecting then disconnecting the USB device (and vice
versa), make sure to wait a few seconds between the two operations.
