PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from
electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to,
the following:
Power supply/Power cord
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may
have accumulated on it.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy
objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or
roll anything over it.
Do not open
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If
it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into
any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the
power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have
the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden
loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke
should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used
for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause
overheating in the outlet.
Assembly
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.
Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in
damage to the instrument or even injury.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold
or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the
power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the
minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure
to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from
the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in
the instrument overheating.

Connections
Using the bench (If included)
Saving data
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the
volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the
volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
Maintenance
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with
a soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the
instrument's finish.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not
use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping
cloths.
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur
and water may collect on the surface of the instrument. If water is left, the
wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any
water off immediately with a soft cloth.
Handling caution
•Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a
finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key
cover, panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and
unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this
might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, bumping the surface of the
instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to
crack or peel. Use caution.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do
not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing
loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a
physician.
• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
• Do not attempt to adjust the bench height while sitting on the bench, since this
can cause excessive force to be imposed on the adjustment mechanism,
possibly resulting in damage to the mechanism or even injury.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten
them periodically using the included tool.
Saving and backing up your data
• Edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI settings are lost when you turn off the
power to the instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 68), USB
storage device (USB flash memory/floppy disk, etc).
• Data in the USER tab display may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect
operation. Save important data to a USB storage device.
When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that
page, Data other than above (edited Songs/Styles/Voices and MIDI
settings, etc.) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is
lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the
relevant display.
Backing up the USB storage device
•To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you
save your important data onto two USB storage devices.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

The instrument is compatible with the following formats.
“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard
specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased
polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the
GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control
over Voices and effects.
Included Accessories
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and openended expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric
data is played.
“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an
enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.

inadvertently change the settings by pressing another button on the panel. Once
locked, the instrument stays in the piano mode, even if other buttons are pressed —
preventing you from accidentally playing other sound during your piano
performance.
1 Press and hold down the [PIANO RESET] button for three
seconds or longer.
A message appears prompting you to enable Piano Lock.
2 Press the [F] (OK) button to enable Piano Lock.
To turn Piano Lock off, press and hold down the [PIANO RESET] button again for
three seconds or longer.
