It seems pretty clear to me that someone in Italy got confused with the wording. If you look at a Yamaha PSR3000 or Tyros2 you see the same plugs marked correctly. Now I understand why their wording on their website and the ownersmanual is wrong. In fact, here's what it says in the owners manual:
"Host(F)
This is a USB Type A (Master/Host)connector, USB2.0 compliant (High Speed). It duplicates the USB connector located in the rear panel. Use it to connect to the PA800 a USB Flash Memory stick, an external CD-ROM drive, an USB hard disk. To acess the connected device, go to the Media edit mode."
So, they know what the connector is for, but the word for it should have said "Device(F)"

hey George, I think there is a misunderstanding regarding USB ports (strange this happened after years of USB connections around):

- USB type A connectors (rectangular) are "Host" or "To Device",
- USB type B connectors (square) are "Device" or "To Host".

Name them as you want, but there is nothing wrong in the Pa800 silkscreen, no question.

Yamaha has decided to name them one way, Korg in another one, but they are definitely, and fortunately, both right.

Hope this help.

Regards.
