PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions 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:
• 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 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
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:
switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may
have accumulated on it.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be
used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• 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.
• 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 near other electrical products such as televisions,
radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect
proper operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, 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.
• Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a
finger or hand in the key cover gap.
• Never insert or drop paper or metallic or other objects between the slits of
the key cover and the keyboard. If this happens, immediately turn off the
power and remove the electric plug from the outlet and have the instrument
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• 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.
• 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 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.
■USING THE BENCH
• 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.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten
them periodically using the included tool.
■SAVING USER DATA
• Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss
of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.
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.

Main Features
Your Yamaha Electone is packed with many sophisticated functions. Yet is amazingly
easy to use. The main features are briefly described here so that you can quickly
understand the capabilities of your Electone.
Included among the main features are:
1 Astoundingly True-to-life Sounds
The new AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) and FM (Frequency Modulation) tone generation
technologies combined with authentic touch response for individual instrument voices, make
this Electone a truly expressive musical instrument. (page 18)
2 Original Voice Creation
The Electone also provides easy-to-use voice editing tools for manipulating the sophisticated
AWM and FM tone generation technologies, allowing you to create your own original
Electone voices. (page 78)
3 Dynamic and Programmable Rhythm Patterns
The Rhythm section of the Electone features authentic drum and percussion sounds, used by
expert rhythm programmers in creating a total of 66 rhythm patterns, ranging across all styles
of music. (page 39)
Along with the Keyboard Percussion function, which lets you play percussion sounds from
the keyboard, the Rhythm Pattern Programmer and Rhythm Sequence Programmer let you
record your own rhythm patterns and connect them to make songs. (page 96)
4 Wide Variety of Effects
Electone voices can also be enhanced with a full range of high-quality effects, ranging from
Tremolo (for reproducing the sound of a rotating speaker) and Reverb to Flanger and Delay.
(page 28)
5 Recording of Performances with the Music Disk Recorder
The Electone also features a Music Disk Recorder for recording your registrations and
performances. The recording is completely digital and is stored to disk, which means that no
matter how many times you play back the recording, it will always sound exactly the same as
the original performance. (page 58)
6 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for Systematic, Intuitive Operation
The LCD display provides comprehensive and easy-to-understand control over virtually all of
the operations of the Electone.

1 Quick Introductory Guide
Whether you are an advanced Electone performer or have never touched an electronic keyboard in
your life, we recommend that you take the time to go through this basic section. It shows you in the
simplest possible manner how to start playing your Electone. The basic operations and functions that
you learn in this section will also be important when you later use the Electone's more advanced
features.
Getting Started

specifically for the supply voltage in
the area where they are to be sold. If
you should move, or if any doubt
exists about the supply voltage, please
consult with a qualified technician.

Recorder at the right side of the Electone.
Once you've securely inserted the disk into the slot, the LCD
Display on the panel will automatically change to show the
available Registration Menus.
There are dozens of registrations on a disk, but up to 16 can only
be shown in the LCD Display at a time.
The page numbers 1 through 5 (or 1 through 4 with the Disk 2)
shown at the top right corner of the LCD indicate this
Registration Menu Disk contains five (or four) pages.
Press the Page button to select the various menu "pages" of
