PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual 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:
Power supply/Power cord
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
ENGLISH
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• 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.
Do not open
• 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.
Water warning
• 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.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
• 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 switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

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.

Before Using the Digital Piano

Key Cover

To open the key cover:
Using the hand grip in the center on the front, lift open the key cover.
To close the key cover:
Grip the hand grip at the center of the panel, and close the key cover.
CAUTION
Be careful to avoid catching your fingers when opening or closing the cover.
Before Using the Digital Piano
CAUTION
Hold the cover with both hands when opening or closing it. Do not release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others, especially children’s) between the cover and main unit.
CAUTION
Do not place objects, such as a piece of metal or paper, on top of the key cover. Small objects placed on the key cover may fall inside the unit when the cover is opened and may be nearly impossible to remove. This could cause electric shock, short circuit, fire or other serious damage to the instrument.

Turning the Power On

1. Connect the power cord.
First insert the plug of the power cable into the AC connector on the N-100, then plug the other end of the cable into the proper AC outlet on the wall. In some areas, a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of AC wall outlets in your area.
qw
ENGLISH
(bottom surface)
(The shape of the plug differs depending on locale.)
WARNING
Make sure your N-100 is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (voltage rating appears 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. Connect­ing the unit to the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock haz­ard! Use only the AC power cord supplied with the N-100. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard! The type of AC power cord provided with the N-100 may be different depending on the country in which it is purchased. (In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.) Do NOT modify the plug provided with the N-100. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qual­ified electrician.
