Basic Operation Manual

Welcome to the Yamaha DisklavierTM!

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Disklavier piano!

The Disklavier is a fascinating instrument that integrates a classic Yamaha acoustic piano

with innovative electronics to suit your entertainment, educational, and creative needs, while

retaining the tone, touch and long-term value that have long made Yamaha pianos the

world’s finest.

Before using your Disklavier piano, please read this manual thoroughly and retain it for

future reference.

Corporation of America.

Important

Read the following before operating the Disklavier.

Warnings

• Do not locate the Disklavier in a place subject to excessive heat, low temperatures, or direct sunlight. This could be a fire hazard and may damage the finish and internal parts.

• Excessive humidity or dust can lead to fire or electric shock.

•Connect the plug on the Disklavier power cable to a compatible AC outlet. Failure to do so will present a fire and electric shock hazard. If the power cable plug is not compatible with your AC outlet, consult your dealer.

• Do not plug several devices into the same AC outlet. This can overload the AC outlet, and lead to fire and electric shock hazard. It may also affect the performance of some devices.

•Do not place heavy objects on the power cable. A damaged power cable is a potential fire and electric shock hazard. If the power cable runs under a carpet, make sure heavy objects, including the Disklavier, are not placed on top of the cable.

Cautions

•Turn off all audio devices when connecting to the Disklavier. Refer to the user’s guide for each device. Use the correct cables and connect as specified.

• Set the volume level on all the devices to minimum before applying power.

• Do not play the Disklavier at a high volume for extended periods; you may damage your hearing. This is especially important when using headphones. If you think your hearing ability is impaired, consult your doctor.

• If the Disklavier is worked extremely hard — that is, prolonged playback of very “busy” songs — the Disklavier’s thermal relay may trip. The thermal relay will automatically reset when the Disklavier has cooled down.

• If you notice any abnormality — such as smoke, odor, or noise — turn off the Disklavier immediately, and remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer for repair.

English

• If the power cable is damaged (i.e. cut or a bare wire is exposed), ask your dealer for a replacement. Using the Disklavier in this condition is a fire and shock hazard.

•When disconnecting the power cable from an AC outlet, always pull from the plug. Never pull the cable. Damaging the cable in this way is a potential fire and electric shock hazard.

•The cover of the unit should be removed only by qualified service technicians.

• Do not place liquid containers such as vases, potted plants, glasses, cosmetic bottles, medicines, etc., on top of the Disklavier.

• Do not try to modify the Disklavier, as this could lead to fire or electric shock hazard.

• When moving the Disklavier to another location, turn off the power, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and remove all cables connected to external devices.

• If a foreign object or water gets inside the Disklavier turn it off immediately, and remove the power plug from the AC outlet. Consult your dealer.

• If you plan not to use the Disklavier for a long period of time (such as when you are on vacation), disconnect the electrical mains.

• Always remove the power plug from the AC outlet before cleaning the Disklavier. Leaving the power plug connected presents a risk of electric shock.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the Disklavier.

• Do not place metal objects with rubber feet on top of the Disklavier. The color and finish of the Disklavier can be damaged.

• Do not place heavy objects on the Disklavier. Doing so can damage the Disklavier.

•Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the Disklavier. However, if you discover a stain, carefully use a soft damp cloth to remove it.

Interference

• The Disklavier uses high-frequency digital circuits that may cause interference to radios and TVs placed close to it. If interference does occur, relocate the affected equipment.

Handling Batteries

The remote control of this unit is powered by dry batteries. Improper use or misuse of the dry batteries can cause the dry batteries to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in a fire, damage to equipment and/or nearby objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm. Read through and familiarize yourself with the following safety precautions prior to use to ensure correct usage.

•Do not directly touch the chemicals (electrolyte) which have leaked from dry batteries.

1. If electrolyte from dry batteries has made

contact with your eyes, rinse your eyes thoroughly with clean water and seek medical treatment from a physician immediately.

2. If electrolyte from dry batteries has touched

your skin or clothing, rinse it off immediately with clean water.

3. If electrolyte from dry batteries has found

its way inside your mouth, gargle immediately and consult a physician.

• Do not install the dry batteries with the “+” and “–” poles reversed. Misaligning the poles of dry batteries can lead the dry batteries to be charged or shorted or it can cause them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in a fire, damage to nearby objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm.

• Use only the designated batteries. Do not use used batteries with unused batteries or different types of batteries together. This can cause them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in a fire or in burns, injury or other bodily harm. Replace all the dry batteries at the same time. Do not use new and old dry batteries together. Do not use different types of batteries (alkaline and manganese batteries, batteries made by different manufacturers or different battery products made by the same manufacturer) together: this can cause them to heat up, ingite or leak electrolyte.

•When the battery-powered unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period of time, remove the dry batteries from the unit. Otherwise the batteries will run down and their electrolyte may leak, resulting in damage to the unit.

•Remove spent batteries immediately from equipment. Otherwise, batteries will overdischarge, causing them to heat up, leak electrolyte or burst which in turn may result in damage to nearby objects or in burns, injury or other bodily harm.

• Dispose of batteries in accordance with the applicable regulations and ordinances.

Basic Disklavier Terminology

The following is a list of several basic Disklavier words that you may need to know before proceeding with operational procedures in this manual. For additional Disklavier terminology, see the glossary provided in Chapter 15 in the Advanced Operation Manual.

Disk

“Disk” is used as a generic term to refer to floppy disks, internal Memory Disks, and CDs.

Ensemble Song

An Ensemble song contains the same left and righthand parts as an L/R song, and extra tracks that are played by the internal XG tone generator. Accompanying tracks can include acoustic bass, drums, strings, vibes, etc.

Floppy Disk

The magnetic storage medium that the Disklavier uses for song playback. The Disklavier uses 3.5 inch 2DD and 2HD floppy disks. PianoSoft and PianoSoft.Plus are song disks specially for use with the Disklavier Series.

L/R Song

In a L/R song, the left-hand piano part is stored on track 1 (L) and the right-hand piano part is stored on track 2 (R). During playback you can cancel either part, and practice that part yourself. When recording an L/R song, you can record the two parts simultaneously or separately.

Memory Disk

The Disklavier has a total of 64 megabytes of internal flash memory named Memory Disks that allow you to store song data without a floppy disk.

piano student, and accompaniment disks for vocal and instrumental practice. PianoSoft is sometimes used as a generic term for PianoSoft and PianoSoft

PianoSoft.Plus disks contain prerecorded Ensemble songs featuring instrumental accompaniment that can be played back on the Disklavier. See your Disklavier dealer for a PianoSoft catalog.

Plus.

Song

A “song” usually means a short piece of music with lyrics. However, in the Disklavier manuals the term “song” is used to refer to any piece of music.

Tone Generator

An electronic device that generates instrument voices. The Disklavier has an internal XG tone generator that can produce nearly 700 instrumental and percussion voices.

English Chapter 1: Setting Up Your Disklavier

MIDI

An acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other.

The PianoSoft Disk Collection is a library of prerecorded song disks made by Yamaha for use with the Disklavier Series. Many titles are available, and among the many musical styles included are classical, jazz, and popular. The disk includes songs for listening enjoyment, piano study disks for the

Voice

The sounds produced by a tone generator expressing various instruments.

Yamaha XG is an extension of the GM (General MIDI) format. With greater polyphony, more voice, and effects, it improves song compatibility between MIDI devices. When a song in the Yamaha XG format is played on another XG compatible tone generator or synthesizer, it will play and sound as the original composer/creator intended.

Chapter 3 Disks Used with the Disklavier

Three types of disks are used with the Disklavier: floppy disks, CDs, and internal Memory Disks.

English Chapter 3: Disks Used with the Disklavier

Floppy Disks

Besides PianoSoft and PianoSoft.Plus song disks, the Disklavier can play back songs stored on 3.5inch MS-DOS 720 kilobytes format 2DD floppy disks and MS-DOS 1.44 megabytes format 2HD floppy disks.

Handling Floppy Disks

Be careful of the following when handling floppy disks.

• Do not touch the surface of a disk.

•Do not store or place disks near a television, radio, loudspeaker, or any other device that generates a magnetic field.

• Do not expose disks to extreme temperature or humidity. The working temperature range for disks is between 4˚C and 52˚C (40˚F to 125˚F).

Accidental Erasure Protection

Floppy disks have an erasure protection tab which can be set so that the Disklavier cannot record new data onto the disk. This is useful for protecting valuable song data against accidental erasure and disk formatting. The protection tab is located on the reverse side of the disk in the bottom right-hand corner.

Protected

When the tab window is open, data is protected.

Unprotected

• Do not use disks in a dusty, dirty or smoky environment.

• Remove the disk before you turn off the Disklavier.

When the tab window is closed, data is not protected.

Inserting & Ejecting Floppy Disks

Inserting

Carefully insert the disk into the disk drive shutter first, label side up, as shown. Push it until it clicks into place and the Eject button pops out.

Ejecting

To eject a disk, press the Eject button.

Compact Discs

You can enjoy listening to PianoSoft.PlusAudio —Yamaha’s audio/MIDI CD made especially for use with the Disklavier.

Besides PianoSoft.PlusAudio, the Disklavier can also play back standard audio CDs sold on the market as well as audio/MIDI CDs of other companies.

Note: PianoSoft.PlusAudio may not be available in

some countries.

Note: PianoSoft.PlusAudio and other audio/MIDI

CDs cannot be used for recording purposes with the Disklavier.

Eject button

The disk will pop out. Remove the disk and return it to its case.

Note: Do not eject a disk during playback, recording,

or when the message “WRITING TO DISK” is shown on the display and the REC indicator is flashing. Doing so can seriously damage the disk drive and the floppy disk.

Handling CDs

• Do not touch the surface of a CD.

• Do not expose disks to extreme temperature or humidity. The working temperature range is between 4˚C and 52˚C (40˚F to 125˚F).

•Wipe the CD with a clean cloth before playback.

•Remove the CD before you turn off the Disklavier.

Inserting & Removing CDs

Press the CD eject button so that the CD tray pops out about 1 cm. Then, carefully pull it out as far as it will go. To insert a CD, place the CD on the tray and gently press down on it so that the center of the CD is clamped in place. To remove the CD, slowly lift the CD.

Note: The CD eject button can be used only when

the Control Unit is turned on.

Memory Disks

Besides floppy disks and CDs, the Disklavier has 64 megabytes (4 megabytes × 16 Memory Disks) of internal flash memory for storing song data. They are numbered from 0 to 9 and A to F. They can be used in the same way that you use floppy disks to store songs.

Memory Disks are ideal for storing many songs, especially when you want to program your Disklavier to automatically play back many songs with the Chain Play or Timer Play features. (See Chapter 2 “Chain Play — Playing Back Memory Disks in a Group” and Chapter 3 “Timer Play” in the Advanced Operation Manual for details.)

☛ See also Chapter 1 “Storing & Managing Songs on

Disks” in the Advanced Operation Manual for more information on using Memory Disks.
