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.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
1/2
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
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, lint-free cloth. The cloth should be
dry or slightly damp. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or
chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

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.
• 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

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Digital Piano N-100!
We recommend that you read this manual carefully
so that you can fully take advantage of the advanced and
convenient functions of the N-100.
We also recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and
handy place for future reference.
Main Features
Graded Hammer Effect Keyboard
Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard with
action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower
notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can
even be adjusted to match your playing style.
Dynamic Stereo Sampling
The Yamaha N-100 Digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as
Yamaha’s original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling tone generation technology for rich, musical voices.
The Grand Piano 1 voice features totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano. The
Grand Piano 1 voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special Sustain Sampling (page 15)
that use samples of the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the sustain pedal
is pressed, and Keyoff Samples that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The N-100 comes much
closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.
