Handling 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:
• 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.
• 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 place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage
to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• 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.
• 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.
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.
Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (display is off), 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 power cord from the wall AC outlet.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the
instrument or other property, or operational failure.
• 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.

Power requirements
Although the instrument 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
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off
(display is blank, except for notation staff).
• Use the specified adaptor (page 54) only. Using the
wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
2 Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 12V jack.
3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
• 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.
2 Set the [BATTERY TYPE] switch on the rear panel
to “Ni-MH” or “ALKALINE” depending on the
battery type you are using.
• The rechargeable battery may be damaged or the battery life may be shortened if you set the [BATTERY
TYPE] switch to a position different from the actual
battery type.
3 Open the battery compartment cover located on the
instrument’s bottom panel.
Using Batteries
This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline
(LR6)/Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiMH batteries are recommended for this instrument,
since other types may result in poorer battery performance.
• When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that
came with the batteries. Use only the specified charger
device when charging.
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off
(display is blank, except for notation staff).

4 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the side of the compartment.
5 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it
locks firmly in place.

NOTICE
CAUTION
NOTICE
When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be
distorted, and other problems may occur.
When this happens, make sure to replace all batteries
with new ones or already-recharged ones.
• This instrument cannot charge the batteries. Use only the
specified charger device when charging.
• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an
AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the
instrument.
Turning the power on/off
To turn on the power, press the [] (Standby/On)
switch. To turn off the instrument, press and hold the
[] (Standby/On) switch again for more than a second.

blank), 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,
and remove all the batteries from the instrument.
Auto Power Off
Disabling Auto Power Off (simple method)
Turn the power on while holding down the lowest key on the
keyboard. An “oFF AutoOff” indication appears briefly and
Auto Power Off is disabled.
• Depending on the instrument status, the power may not
turn off automatically, even after the specified period of
time elapses. Always turn off the power manually when the
instrument is not in use.
• When the instrument is not operated for a specified period
of time while connected to an external device such as an
amplifier, speaker or computer, make sure to follow the
instructions in the Owner’s Manual for turning off the
power to the instrument and the connected devices, in
order to protect the devices from damage. If you do not
want the power to turn off automatically when a device is
connected, disable Auto Power Off.
Connecting headphones and
external audio equipment
Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4” stereo
phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient
monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off
when a plug is inserted into this jack.
The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an
external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system or
other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s
output signal to that device.
To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this
instrument features an Auto Power Off function that
automatically turns the power off if the instrument is
not operated for approximately 30 minutes. If you do
not want to use the Auto Power Off function, disable

Troubleshooting
ProblemPossible Cause and Solution
When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced.
The power is automatically turned off.
When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.
There is no sound even when the keyboard is
played or when a Song or Style is being played
back.
Playing keys in the right-hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound.
• The volume is too soft.
• The sound quality is poor.
• The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play.
• All settings have been restored to their defaults.
• The Song, etc. does not play correctly.
The Style or Song does not play back when the
[START/STOP] button is pressed.
The Style does not sound properly
No rhythm accompaniment plays when the
[START/STOP] button is pressed after selecting
one of the Style numbers 093–100 (Pianist).
Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound
seems to be cut off.
The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the
opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains
the sounds.
The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when
the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.
The part indications, such as Right, Left and Both
Hands, do not appear—even when pressing the
[R] or [L] buttons for the Lesson.
The sound of the voice changes from note to
note.
A faint, high-pitched mosquito-like sound may
heard from the internal speaker.
be
When a Style is in use, the Page Turner function
cannot be used even if the button is pressed.
This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power.
This is normal and due to the Auto Power Off function. If necessary, set the
parameter of the Auto Power Off function (page 11).
Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from
the instrument.
Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear
panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output.
Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 41.)
When using the Chord Dictionary function (page 38), the keys in the righthand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.
The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new
ones or already-recharged ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.
Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to
“External Clock Settings” on page 41.
Make sure that the Style Volume (page 39) is set to an appropriate level.
Is the Split Point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing?
Set the Split Point at an appropriate key (page 39). Is the “ACMP ON” indicator showing in the display? If it is not, press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so
that it does show.
This is not a malfunction. Style numbers 093–100 (Pianist) have no rhythm
parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will begin playing when you
play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard if Auto Accompaniment is turned on.
The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If a style or Song
is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the accompaniment or Song.
The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug
is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.
Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any stylerelated function.
Make sure that you are not pressing the [R] or [L] buttons while the Song is
playing. If you press one of the part buttons while playing the Song and before
starting the Lesson, these buttons serve to mute the corresponding Song parts.
Stop the Song first, then select the desired part and start the Lesson.
The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an
instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the
voice may be slightly different from note to note.
This is normal. Since the trigger for the Page Turn function uses audio signals
(around 18kHz) output from the instrument speakers which are received by
the iPad microphone, those audio signals may be heard. When you are not
using the Page Turner function, it is a good idea to turn this function off.
This is normal. The Page Turner function can be used when the Song or Lesson is in use.

Voice List
Maximum Polyphony
The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This
means that it can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once,
regardless of what functions are used. Auto accompaniment
uses a number of the available notes, so when auto
accompaniment is used the total number of available notes
for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The
same applies to the Song functions. If the maximum
polyphony is exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off
and the most recent notes have priority (last note priority).
NOTE
• The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each
voice. Use these program change numbers when playing the
instrument via MIDI from an external device.
• Program change numbers are often specified as numbers
“0–127.” Since this list uses a “1–128” numbering system, in such
cases it is necessary to subtract 1 from the transmitted program
change numbers to select the appropriate sound: e.g. to select
No. 2 in the list, transmit program change number 1.
• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after
the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch)
is held.
• Audio signals of the Page Turner function use one note of polyphony.

• “ ” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.
• Each percussion voice uses one note.
• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example, in “Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/
Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).
• Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.
• Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 … 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are designed to be played alternately with each other.)

Area. Yamaha suggests that you read the Limited Warranty thoroughly, and invites you to contact your authorized Yamaha dealer or
Yamaha Customer Service if you have any questions.
Coverage: Yamaha will, at its option, repair or replace the product covered by this warranty if it becomes defective, malfunctions or
otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without charge for labor or
materials. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed Yamaha specifications for new parts. If

removal charges and for any initial shipping charges if the product(s) must be shipped for warranty service. However, Yamaha will pay
the return shipping charges to any destination within the USA if the repairs are covered by the warranty. This warranty does not cover (a)
