NOTICE
Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an 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 Adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor in the order shown in the
illustration.
• Use the specified AC adaptor (page 94) only. Using the
wrong AC adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
• When using the AC adaptor with a removable plug, make
sure to keep the plug attached to the AC adaptor. Using the
plug alone can cause electric shock or fire.
• If the plug is accidentally removed from the AC adaptor,
slide it back in until it clicks into place, t aking care to
avoid touching any internal metal parts. To avoid electric
shock, short circuit or damage, also be careful that there
is no dust between the AC adaptor and plug.
Using Batteries
This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline (LR6)/
Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable nickelmetal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries are recommended for this instrument, since
other types may result in poorer battery performance.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be
used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument.
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off.
2 Open the battery compartment cover located on
the instrument’s bottom panel.

The Voice name appears on the display. Adjust
the volume as desired while playing the keyboard.
3 Press and hold the [ ] (Standby/On) switch for
about a second to set the instrument to standby
mode.
• Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. Remove the electric plug from the outlet when
the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of
time, or during electrical storms.
• Press only the [ ] (Standby/On) switch when turning the
power on. Any other operations such as pressing the pedal
are not allowed. Doing so may cause the instrument to
malfunction.
Setting the Auto Power Off function
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 a specified period of time. The
amount of time that elapses before the power is
automatically turned off is 30 minutes by default;
however, you can change the setting.
To set the time that elapses before
Auto Power Off is executed:
Press the [FUNCTION] button several times until
“AutoOff” (Function 063; page 63) appears, then use
the [+/YES] or [-/NO] button to select the desired
value.
Settings: oFF, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120 (minutes)
Default value: 30 (minutes)
To disable the Auto Power Off function:
Turn the power on while holding down the lowest key
on the keyboard. A message “oFF AutoOff” appears
briefly, then the instrument starts up with the Auto
Power Off function disabled. The Auto Power Off
function also can be disabled by selecting Off in
Function number 063 (page 63).
• Depending on the instrument status, the power may not
turn off automatically, even after the elapse of the specified
period of time. 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 to turn 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.
• Generally, the data and settings are maintained even when
the power is turned off with the Auto Power Off function. For
details, see page 59.

Adjusting the Master Volume
To adjust the volume of the entire keyboard sound,
use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial while playing the
keyboard.
• Do not use the instrument for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss.
Connecting Headphones or External Speaker
Connect a pair of headphones to the [PHONES/
OUTPUT] jack. This jack also functions as an external output. By connecting to a computer, keyboard
amplifier, recorder, or other audio device, you can
output the audio signal of this instrument to that
external device. The speakers of this instrument are
automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into
this jack.
Using a Pedal (Footswitch)
You can control three functions: Sustain, Articulation
(page 27), and Arpeggio (page 29) as you play by
pressing a footswitch (FC5 or FC4A; sold separately)
plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack. By default, Sustain
is assigned, so that the sound can be heard for a
long time even if you take your finger off the keyboard
while pressing the footswitch, like a damper pedal on
a piano. To use a function other than Sustain, use
the function settings (Function 029; page 61).
• Plug or unplug the footswitch while the power is off. Also, do
not press the footswitch when turning the power on. Doing so
changes the polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed
operation.
• The Sustain function does not affect Split Voices (page 25) or
the Styles (Auto Accompaniment; page 44).
Using the Music Rest
Insert the music rest into the slots as shown.
• Do not use the instrument or headphones for a long period
of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this
can cause permanent hearing loss.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components. Also,
before turning any components on or off, make sure to set
all volume levels to minimum. Otherwise, damage to the
components or electrical shock may occur.
• To avoid possible damage to the external device, first turn
on the power to the instrument, then to the external
device. When turning off the power, do so in reverse order:
first turn off the power to the external device, then to the
instrument.
• When connecting the headphones or external speaker to the
instrument, set the Master EQ (page 55) to “2 Headphone.”
The Master EQ can be set in Function settings (page 61;
Function 025).

NOTE
When the Duo mode is activated on this instrument, two different players can play the
instrument simultaneously, with the same sound, over the same octave range—one person on the left and the other on the right. This is useful for learning applications, in
which one person (a teacher, for example) plays a model performance and the other
person watches and practices while sitting at the first person’s side.

Use the [+/YES] button to select “on.”

The F#3 key becomes the Duo Split Point and the
keyboard is divided into two sections: one for the
left Voice and one for the right Voice.
• The right Voice section and the left Voice section of the
keyboard are both set to the same Voice (Main Voice).
• The Duo Split Point can be changed via Function number
053 (page 63) by holding down the [ACMP ON/OFF] button for longer than a second.
One person can play the left Voice sec-
3
tion of the keyboard while the other
plays the right Voice section.
To exit from Duo mode, select “oFF” via
4
“DuoMode” (Function 051; page 63) by
executing steps 1.
Changing the Left Voice
Only the left Voice can be changed via “DuoLVc”
(Function 052; page 63).
• When playing different Voices between the left and right,
the right Voice name is shown in the display.
• Certain functions such as Lesson, Harmony/Arpeggio
and Dual cannot be used in the Duo mode.
How sounds are output in the Duo mode
The performance sound of the left Voice will
sound from the left speaker, and the performance
sound of the right Voice will sound from the right
speaker, in the initial Duo mode setting (“Separate”). This output setting can be changed from
the “DuoType” setting (Function 058; page 63).
• In the Duo mode, the pan, volume and tonal characteristics of the stereo sound may differ from those in the normal mode, due to the setting of DuoType = “Separate”
(page 63). Particularly with Drum Kits, the difference may
be more obvious, since each key of a Drum Kit features a
different stereo pan position.
Using sustain in the Duo mode
Sustain can be applied to the left and right Voice
sections in Duo mode just as it normally is by
using one of the following methods in the Duo
mode like the usual mode.
• Press the footswitch (page 16) connected to the
[SUSTAIN] jack.
• Set “Sustain” (Function 024; page 61) to on.
Sustain is applied to all notes.
• Sustain cannot be applied independently to the left Voice
section and the right Voice section.
• While Sustain is set to on via Function 024, the setting of
hold is maintained even when the power is turned off.

This instrument includes an Auto Accompaniment feature that automatically plays
appropriate “Styles” (rhythm + bass + chord accompaniment), controlled simply by
playing only root note or all notes of a chord with your left hand.
You can select how you want to play the chords from two ways: “Smart Chord,” which
lets you play chords by playing a key with only one finger, and “Multi Finger,” which lets
you play them normally, with all the constituent notes.
Setting the Fingering Type
How you play the chords when playing Styles is
called “Fingering Type,” which can be specified via
Function number 017 (page 61). With this instrument,
you can choose from two Fingering Types.
Smart Chord (Default setting)
You can play the Style by playing only the root
note of a chord.
Multi Finger
This is a way to play the Style by playing all notes
of a chord. However, major, minor, seventh, and
minor sevenths can also be easily played by
pressing one to three keys.
For information about chords, refer to “Chord Types
for Style Playback” (page 47) or use the Chord Dictionary function (page 49).

Für Elise
Für Elise is an all-time classical favorite.
The beautiful, well-known melody is repeated a number of times.
In each step you won’t be practicing alone. You have a wonderful orchestra to back you up!
First, listen to the example a few times. It won’t be long before you’ll want to start playing it yourself!

Voice List
Maximum Polyphony
The instrument has 48-note maximum polyphony. This means
that it can play a maximum of up to 48 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 Split Voice and 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.
For these cases, it is necessary to subtract 1 from the intended program change number to select the appropriate sound, because this
list uses a “1–128” numbering system. For example, to select program change number 38 in the list below, transmit program change
number 37.
• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after
the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is
held.
