PRECAUTIONS
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/AC power adaptor
•Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
•Use the specified adaptor (PA-5D or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
•Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
•Do not place the AC adaptor 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.
Water warning
•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.
•Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
•Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
•If the AC adaptor 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 adaptor 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/AC power adaptor
•When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
•Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
•Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
•Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
•When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.
•Keep batteries away from children.
•If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.
Battery
•Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
•Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
•Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
Location
•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.
(4)-8 1/2
4
•Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
•Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
•Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
Connections
•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.
Handling caution
•Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
•Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the 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.
•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 operate the instrument 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.
Maintenance
•When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
•Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to external media such as the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI data filer.
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.
When using a power adaptor, even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Yamaha DGX-200 Portable Grand ™!
You now own a portable keyboard that combines advanced functions, great sound and exceptional ease-of-use in a highly compact package. Its outstanding features also make it a remarkably expressive and versatile instrument.
Read this Owner’s Manual carefully while playing your new DGX-200 in order to take full advantage of its various features.
Main Features
The DGX-200 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use keyboard with the following features and functions:
■ Stereo Sampled Piano........................................................................... |
page 20 |
The DGX-200 has a special Portable Grand Piano Voice — created by state-of-the-art stereo sampling technology and using Yamaha’s sophiscated AWM (Advanced Wave memory) tone generation system.
■ Touch Response.................................................................................... |
page 30 |
The exceptionally natural Touch Response feature, with a convenient front panel on/off switch, gives you maximum expressive level control over the voices. It also works in conjunction with the Dynamic Filter, which dynamically adjusts the timbre or tone of a voice according to your playing strength — just a like a real musical instrument!
■ Yamaha Education Suite......................................................... |
pages 43, 45, 61 |
The DGX-200 features the new Yamaha Education Suite — a set of learning tools that utilize the latest technology to make studying and practicing music more fun and fulfilling than ever before!
■ One Touch Setting................................................................................. |
page 28 |
The One Touch Setting feature lets you automatically call up an appropriate voice for playing with the selected style. Each style has memory space for two One Touch Settings, and you can change them to your own desired voice setting — letting you save your custom panel settings for instant recall.
■ Powerful Speaker System
The built-in stereo amplifier/speaker system of the DGX-200 — with a special Bass Boost feature — provides exceptionally powerful, high-quality sound, letting you hear the full dynamic range of the DGX-200’s authentic voices.
■ Music Database...................................................................................... |
page 48 |
The DGX-200 has an advanced, easy-to-use Music Database feature that automatically selects the style, voice, and effect settings for playing in a specific type of music. This can be a big help if you know what genre of music you want to play, but you don’t know what settings to make. Just select the genre, and the DGX-200 takes care of the rest!
■ GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM System Level.
■ XGlite
As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simplified version of Yamaha’s high-quality XG tone generation format. Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that some songs may play back differently compared to the original data, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.

Setting Up
This section contains information about setting up your DGX-200 for playing. Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.
Power Requirements
Although the DGX-200 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.
■ Using an AC Power Adaptor • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
qMake sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the DGX-200 is set to STANDBY.
wConnect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.
e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

■ Using Batteries • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
For battery operation the DGX-200 requires six 1.5V “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When the batteries need to be replaced, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries, as described below
q Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel.
wInsert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.
e Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
•Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any DGX-200 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
•Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!” message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the internal flash memory and result in loss of data.
•Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the DGX200.
•Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the DGX-200, or during electrical storms.
•When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.
NEVER mix old and new batteries.
•Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.
•If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.

Setting Up
Turning On the Power
With the AC power adaptor connected or with batteries installed, simply press the power switch until it locks in the ON position. When the instrument is not in use, be sure to turn the power off. (Press the switch again so that it pops up.)
•Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the DGX-200 for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.
•Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!” message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the internal flash memory and result in loss of data.
Accessory Jacks
■ Using Headphones• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into this jack.
■ Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo System • • • • • • •
Though the DGX-200 is equipped with a built-in
speaker system, you can also play it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the DGX-200 and any external devices are
turned off, then connect one end of a stereo audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN jack(s) of the
other device and the other end to the rear panel
Stereo System
PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the DGX-200.
•To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
■ Using a Footswitch • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the sound of the voices. The footswitch functions the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano — press and hold down the footswitch as you play the keyboard to sustain the sound.
■ Using the MIDI Terminals • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
The DGX-200 also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the DGX-200 with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information, see page 67.)
•Make sure that the footswitch plugisproperlyconnectedtothe SUSTAINjackbeforeturningon the power.

■ Transpose • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment. It also determines the pitch of the songs. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the DGX-200 to other instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your fingering. The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 12 semitones (± 1 octave).
Transpose can be set in the Function mode (page 75).
■ Tuning • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Tuning determines the fine pitch setting of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment. It also determines the pitch of the songs. This allows you to accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments. The Tuning settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 100 (approx. ± 1 semitone).
Tuning can be set in the Function mode (page 75).
•The Transpose function has no effect on the Drum Kits voices (#109 - #120) and DJ voices (#601 - #605).

Touch Sensitivity lets you set how the DGX-200 responds to your playing strength, allowing you to customize the keyboard to suit your own playing style. The default Touch Sensitivity is 2 (Medium).
Sensitivity can be set in the Function mode (page 75).
● Settings:
1 |
(Soft) |
This results in limited touch response, and produces a relatively narrow |
|
|
dynamic range, no matter how lightly or strongly you play the keys. |
2 |
(Medium) |
This lets you play over a normal dynamic range (soft to loud). |
3 |
(Hard) |
This is designed for playing very soft passages, giving you slightly more |
|
|
detailed control in the soft volume range. |
When Touch is turned off, a constant volume (corresponding to a velocity value of 80) is produced.
Pitch Bend
The DGX-200 has a [PITCH BEND] wheel that lets you change the pitch of the voices in real time, as you play.
Pitch Bend Range lets you set how the DGX-200 responds to your wheel playing, allowing you to customize the range to suite your own playing style.
Pitch Bend Range can be set in the Function mode (page 76).
