PRECAUTIONS

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/AC power adaptor

Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

Use the specified adaptor (PA-300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

Do not place the AC adaptor 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 AC adaptor 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 adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

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:

Power supply/AC power adaptor

When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.

Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a mul- tiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

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 adaptor and other cables.

Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

(3)-7 1/2

PSR-2000/1000 3

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, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Saving data

Saving and backing up your data

Current memory data (see page 39) is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy disk/the User Drive (see page 39).

Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a floppy disk.

When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that page, System Setup data (listed in the Parameter Chart of the separate Data List booklet) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the relevant display.

Handling caution

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. 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 experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Backing up the floppy disk

To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks.

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 power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, 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 AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and

Floppy Disk

Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.

Compatible Disk Type

• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.

Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks

To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:

Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.

Drive lamp

When the power is turned on, the drive lamp (at the bottom left of the drive) lights to indicate the drive can be used.

Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off when the data is being written to the floppy disk. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.

If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a halfpressed position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure.

Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors.

To eject a floppy disk:

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that data is not being written to the floppy disk.

If data is currently being written to the floppy disk in the following operations, the messages “Now executing,” “Now copying,” and “Now formatting” appears in the display.

Moving, copying, pasting, saving, or deleting data (page 42 - 44).

Naming files and folders (page 41); creating a new folder (page 44).

Copying a disk to an another disk (page 150); formatting the disk (page 150).

Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head

Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors.

To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commerciallyavailable dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.

Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.

About the Floppy Disks

To handle floppy disks with care:

Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use.

Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.

Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside.

Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.

Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.

Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.

To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):

To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).

write-protect tab open (protect position)

Data backup

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk to Disk function on page 150.

About the Display Messages

A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation. When such messages appear, simply follow the instructions as shown by pressing the corresponding button.

VOICE

Enjoy a huge variety of realistic voices (page 25, 54)

The PSR-2000/1000 features a wealth of exceptionally authentic and dynamic voices — including piano, strings, woodwinds, and more!

Organ Flutes (PSR-2000)

Craft your own organ voices (page 91)

This special function not only gives you a full set of rich and luscious organ sounds, it also lets you create your own original organ voices, just as on a traditional organ, by increasing and decreasing the flute

MEMORYfootages, and adding percussive sounds.

TO HOST terminal

Make music with a computer — quickly and easily (page 154)

Dive in and take advantage of the wide world of computer music software. Connections and setup are exceptionally easy, and you can play back your computer recorded parts with different instrument sounds — all from a single PSR-2000/ 1000!

Vocal Harmony (PSR-2000)

Add automatic vocal backing to your singing (page 128)

The amazing Vocal Harmony feature (on the PSR-2000) automatically produces backup vocal harmonies for lead vocals that you sing into a microphone. You can even change the gender of the harmony voices — for example, letting you add female backup to your own male voice (or vice versa).

Setting Up the PSR-2000/1000

Power Supply

1 Make sure that the PSR-2000/1000’s STANDBY/ON switch is at the STANDBY (off) position.

2 Connect one end of the AC cable to the PA-300.

3 Connect the PA-300’s DC plug to the PSR-2000/ 1000’s DC IN terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.

To electrical outlet

4 Connect the other end (normal AC plug) to the nearest electrical outlet.

WARNING

Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the Yamaha PA300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha. The use of an incompatible adaptor may cause irreparable damage to the PSR2000/1000, and may even pose a serious shock hazard! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET WHEN THE PSR-2000/1000 IS NOT IN USE.

CAUTION

Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-2000/1000 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.

CAUTION

Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at a minimum level. When not using the PSR-2000/1000 for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Power-on Procedure

When you have made all the necessary connections (page 152) between your PSR-2000/1000 and any other devices, make sure that all volume settings are turned down all the way to zero. Then turn on every device in your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI slaves (receivers), then the audio equipment (mixers, amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures smooth MIDI operation and prevents speaker damage.

When powering down the setup, first turn down the volume for each audio device, then switch off each device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then MIDI).

Powering Up

CAUTION

In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers or other connected electronic equipment, always switch on the power of the 2000/1000 before switching on the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and amplifier. Likewise,always switch off the power of the 2000/1000 after switching off the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and amplifier.

CAUTION

Even when the switch is in the "STANDBY" position,electricity is still flowing to the instrument at a minimum level. When not using the PSR-2000/1000 for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

n

Before you switch your 2000/1000 on or off, first turn down the volume of any connected audio equipment.

Music Stand

The PSR-2000/1000 is supplied with a music stand that can be attached to the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control panel.

The Panel Logos

The logos printed on the PSR-2000/1000 panel indicate standards/formats it supports and special features it includes.

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will play accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or synthesizer from any manufacturer.

XG Format

XG is a new Yamaha MIDI specification which significantly expands and improves on the “GM System Level 1” standard with greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and effect capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By using the PSR-2000/1000 XG voices, it is possible to record XG-compatible song files.

XF Format

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability for the future. The PSR-2000/1000 is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played. (SMF is the most common format used for MIDI sequence files. The PSR-2000/1000 is compatible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data using SMF Format 0.)

Vocal Harmony (PSR-2000 only)

Vocal Harmony employs state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal harmony to a lead vocal line sung by the user. Vocal Harmony can even change the character and gender of the lead voice as well as the added voices to produce a wide range of vocal harmony effects.

Disk Orchestra Collection

The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback compatibility with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and MIDI devices.

Style File Format

The Style File Format (SFF) is Yamaha’s original style file format, which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. The PSR-2000/1000 uses the SFF internally, reads optional SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles using the Style Creator feature.

Playing Styles

Style Sections

Each style in the auto accompaniment is made up of “sections.” Since each section is a rhythmic variation of the basic style, you can use them to add spice to your performance and mix up the beats — while you’re playing. Intros, Endings, Main patterns, and Breaks — they’re all here, giving you the dynamic elements you need to create professionalsounding arrangements.

 

 

INTRO

This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the

 

 

 

main section.

 

 

 

 

 

MAIN

This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures,

 

 

 

and repeats indefinitely until another section’s button is pressed.

 

 

BREAK

This lets you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your

 

 

 

performance sound even more professional.

 

 

ENDING

This is used for the ending of the song. When the ending is finished, the auto accompaniment stops

 

 

 

automatically.

1 - 3 Use the same operations as in “Playing a style” on pages 28 and 29.
