For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.
IMPORTANT – Check your power supply –
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be
provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage
selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears
next to the pointer on the panel.

WICHTIG —Überprüfung der Stromversorgung—
Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem Anschließen an das Stromnetz, daß die örtliche Netzspannung den Betriebsspannungswerten auf dem Typenschild an der Unterseite
des Instruments entspricht. In bestimmten Regionen ist auf der Unterseite des Keyboards in der Nähe des Netzkabels ein Spannungswähler angebracht. Falls
vorhanden, muß der Spannungswähler auf die örtliche Netzspannung eingestellt werden. Der Spannungswähler wurde werkseitig auf 240 V voreingestellt. Zum
Verstellen drehen Sie den Spannungsregler mit einem Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der Zeiger auf den korrekten Spannungswert weist.
Pour obtenir les détails sur l'assemblage du pupitre du clavier, reportez-vous aux instructions figurant à la fin de ce manuel.
IMPORTANT —Contrôler la source d'alimentation—
Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau inférieur correspond à la tension du secteur. Dans certaines régions, l’instrument peut être équipé d’un sélecteur de
tension situé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier à proximité du cordon d'alimentation. Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est bien réglé en fonction de la tension secteur de
votre région. Le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur 240 V au depart d'usine. Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le sélecteur afin
de mettre l'indication correspondant à la tension de votre région vis à vis du repère triangulaire situé sur le panneau.
Para información sobre el montaje del soporte del teclado, consulte las instrucciones al final de este manual.
IMPORTANTE —Verifique la alimentación de corriente—
Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su área corresponde con la tensión especificada en la placa de características del panel inferior. En algunas
zonas puede haberse incorporado un selector de tensión en el panel inferior de la unidad del teclado principal, cerca del cable de alimentación. Asegúrese de que
el selector de tensión esté ajustado a la tensión de su área. El selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la unidad sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el ajuste,
emplee un destornillador de cabeza "recta" para girar el selector de modo que aparezca la tensión correcta al lado del indicador del panel.

H11 Owner’s Manual
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.
Maintenance
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, gently remove dust and dirt with a
soft cloth. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the
instrument’s finish.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use
paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping
cloths.
• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur
and water may collect on the surface of the instrument. If water is left, the
wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any
water off immediately with a soft cloth.
Using the bench (If included)

periodically using the included tool.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
• Some data will be saved to internal memory of the H11 (page 44). The data is
maintained even when the power is turned off. For maximum data security
Yamaha recommends that you save your important data to the USB flash
memory. This provides a convenient backup if the internal memory is damaged
(page 45).
Handling caution
•Take care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do not insert a
finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key
cover, 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.
• In the case of a model with a polished finish, bumping the surface of the
instrument with metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can cause the finish to
crack or peel. Use caution.
• 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.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
•To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you

Main Features
Main Features
ENGLISH
Stylish and sophisticated digital piano
The instrument combines true piano sound in a modern, attractive cabinet that evokes the beauty of a
real acoustic grand piano–adding sophistication and musical expressiveness to your living space.
NW (Natural Wood) with synthetic ivory keytops
This type of keyboard features the feel of real ivory. The special Natural Wood keyboard also uses realwood white keys. The key surface is soft and slightly porous, giving the keys added grip and a natural
friction that lets you play easily. The authentic touch and feel of the keys goes far beyond existing electronic keyboards, it makes you feel as if you’re playing a real grand piano. This specially crafted keyboard lets you use techniques only possible on grand pianos, such as playing the same note successively
and having the sounds blend smoothly even without use of the damper pedal, or playing the same key
quickly and having perfect articulation without the sound cutting off unnaturally.
Moving Key
The H11 features an impressive moving keyboard—with the Moving Key function. Whatever songs
you play back on the instrument, including the included 50 piano preset songs (Classic & Jazz), songs
saved to USB flash memory, or songs from the Internet using the streaming service, you can enjoy the
performance visually as well as aurally. This makes the H11 a wonderful instrument to have at home, as
well as an eye-catching, ear-catching instrument for a restaurant, store or any public space.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
The H11 offers unmatched sonic realism as well as Yamaha’s original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
tone-generation technology for rich, authentic voices. The GRAND PIANO 1 and 2 voices are completely constructed from samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano. The Grand
Piano 1 voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special “Sustain Sampling” that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when
the damper pedal is pressed, and “Keyoff Samples” that add the subtle sound produced when the keys
are released. These sophisticated features and advanced technologies ensure that the instrument
sounds and plays virtually the same as an actual acoustic piano.
Internet Direct Connection (IDC)
Ya maha provides a special streaming service on its website that enables you to automatically play back
a wide variety of songs (song data) in various musical genres as background music directly on your
instrument.
