PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions 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:
•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.
•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.
•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.
•Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B, PA-3C, PA-3 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
•Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
•Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
•Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
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:
•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.
•When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
•Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
•Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
•Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
•Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
•Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
•Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
•When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.
•Keep batteries away from children.
•If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.
•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.
•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 near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.
•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.
•When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, 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.
•Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
•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.
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. Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Getting Started
Power Requirements
Although the PSR-125 will run either from an optional 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 Power Adaptor
To connect your PSR-125 to a wall socket, you will need the optionally available Yamaha PA-3/3B/3C Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could result in damage to the instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind. Connect one end of the adaptor to the DC IN 12V jack on the rear panel of your PSR-125, and the other end to a suitable electrical outlet.
DC IN 12V
WARNING
Use ONLY the Yamaha PA-3/3B/3C AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the PSR-125.
CAUTION
Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-125, or during electrical storms.
● When the Batteries Run Down
When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the PortaTone may not sound or function properly. As soon as this happens, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.
CAUTION
Never mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline and manganese).
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage from battery leakage, remove the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for a long time.
● Auto Power OFF
The PSR-125 features an Auto Power OFF function that automatically turns the power OFF if the instrument is not used for approximately 30 minutes. This functions whether batteries or the AC power adaptor is used.
Accessory Jacks
Using Headphones
For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into this jack.
PHONES/OUTPUT
Using Batteries
● Inserting Batteries
Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery compartment lid. Insert six 1.5-volt size “C” batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned. Replace the lid.
Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo System
After making sure the PortaTone and any external devices are turned off, connect one end of a stereo audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX. IN jack(s) of the other device and the other end to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack of the PortaTone.
The Music Stand
Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot located at the top rear of the PSR-125 control panel.

Turning on the Power
Press the STANDBY/ON button 1 to turn on the power of the PortaTone. Whenever the power is turned on, Voice 01 (PIANO) is automatically selected.
Selecting a Mode
Your PortaTone has three different operating modes: Voice, Style and Song — each selected from the corresponding panel buttons. VOICE 2 lets you select and play a Voice. STYLE 3 lets you select and play a setting that includes a rhythm/accompaniment pattern. SONG 4 lets you select and play either a Song or a Jam Track pattern.
To select one of the modes:
Press the button corresponding to the desired mode. For now, press SONG 4 to select the Song mode.
Playing a Song
in the Song Mode
A variety of Songs and special Jam Tracks have been recorded to your PortaTone to give you a taste of what you can do with the instrument, and to provide music and patterns for you to play along with.
To select and play one of the Songs:
1. With the Song mode selected, use the Numeric Keypad 5 to enter the desired Song or Jam Track number. Be sure to enter a two-digit number, as is printed next to each song on the panel. For example, to select Song 09, first press “0” on the Numeric Keypad, then “9.”
You can also use the +/– buttons on the Numeric Keypad to step up or down through the preset numbers; holding down the appropriate button continuously changes the number. Note that the
+/– buttons have a “wrap around” feature. For example, pressing the + button from the last number returns to Song 01. (Song 01 is also automatically selected when you turn the power on.)
6
2.To play the selected Song, press the START/STOP button 7.
Note that the dots in the MULTI DISPLAY ! flash in time with the music. The left dot flashes at the first beat of every measure, and the right dot flashes at the other beats. (For more information on the MULTI DISPLAY, see box at right.)
3. Adjust the volume of the Song by using the VOLUME control @.
4.Although the Song is automatically set to play at a default tempo, you can change the speed of the Song by using the TEMPO buttons 9. Press TEMPO + to increase the speed and TEMPO – to decrease it; holding down the appropriate button continuously increases/decreases the speed. (Note that the tempo value is briefly shown in the MULTI DISPLAY.)
If you want to set the tempo back to its original default setting, press both TEMPO buttons simultaneously. (For more information on the Tempo functions, see box at right.)
5. To stop the Song, press the START/STOP button 7 again.
NOTE
You should enter numbers on the Numeric Keypad relatively quickly. If you do not enter the second digit of a number within about ten seconds after entering the first digit, the first digit will be cancelled. Entry of a first digit is also automatically cancelled if any other button on the panel (except for those on the Numeric Keypad) is pressed before entering the second digit. Also, keep in mind that entry of numbers higher than 40 in the Song mode are ignored.
About the MULTI DISPLAY
As mentioned above, the dots in the MULTI DISPLAY flash in time with the rhythm, and the indication is used when a Song or Style plays back. This flashing provides a visual indication of both the tempo and the time signature of the rhythm.
For Songs and Styles in 4/4 time, the dots flash like this:

About the Tempo Functions
Tempo Values
As mentioned above, the tempo value is shown briefly in the MULTI DISPLAY when one of the TEMPO buttons is pressed. The displayed tempo range is from 10 to 60; in actual tempo values, the range is from 40 to 240 beats per minute. (Each step in the tempo adjustment corresponds to 4 beats per minute.)
Default Tempos
Each Song and Style has been given a default or standard tempo. If you change the tempo, you can set it back to the original default setting, by pressing both TEMPO buttons simultaneously. Also, the tempo of a Song or Style returns to the default setting when selecting a different Song or Style. (The set tempo remains, however, when switching Styles during playback.) When you turn on the power of the PortaTone, the tempo is automatically set to the default setting of Style 01.
7
Voice Mode
The Voice mode features 100 authentic Voices. Many of these Voices have special preset characteristics or embellishments. The Voices are divided into various categories depending on their characteristics or the effects used.
Dual Voices (#41 - #56) feature two Voices mixed together in a layer for rich ensemble sounds. Split Voices (#57 - #67) also have two Voices, but rather than being layered, each is played from a different range of the keyboard. Sustain Voices (#68 - #72) extend the sound by adding a natural, slow release. Harmony Voices (#73 - #85) have an additional one-, twoor three-note harmony added to the original monophonic Voice. Finally, Echo Voices (#86 - #00) have an echo effect that adds delayed repeats to the original Voice.
Included in the Voices are special PERCUSSION Voices (#40 and #00) that lets you play various drum and percussion sounds from the keyboard. (Refer to the Percussion Assign List page 13.)
Selecting a Voice
1. Press the VOICE button to select the Voice mode.
2.Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired Voice number.
Each Voice is automatically called up with the most suitable octave range setting. Thus, playing middle C with one Voice may sound higher or lower than another Voice at the same key.
3. Play the newly selected Voice. To change to another Voice, repeat step 2 above.
You can also play rhythm Styles in the Voice mode by simply pressing the START/STOP button. The Style last selected from the Style mode will be played.
About the Harmony Voices
Since Harmony Voices are designed to automatically play two or more notes with the notes you play on the keyboard, only one note can be played on the keyboard at a time. If several notes are played together, only the last note or highest note played will be heard.
The type of harmony used depends on the Voice that is selected. When a Style or Song/Jam Track is not being played back, the basic key for the harmony is always C. When a Style is played or the Stopped Accompaniment function is active, the harmony changes according to the chord played with the left hand. When a Song is played back, the harmony changes according to the chord progression of the Song or Jam Track.
NOTE
The PortaTone is polyphonic up to a maximum of 12 notes. (Depending on the Voice selected, fewer notes may be available.) This includes not only the Voices played from the keyboard, but also the notes in a Style pattern, and so on. Thus, if you play too many notes at one time, some may not sound and/or others may be cancelled.
8
Style Mode
The Style mode provides dynamic rhythm/ accompaniment patterns — as well as Voice settings appropriate for each pattern — for various popular music styles, as listed on the panel. A total of 100 different Styles are available, and are divided into ten different categories. Each rhythm pattern also has a specially created companion Fill In pattern, which can be played by using the SYNC START/FILL IN button.
Auto Accompaniment features built into the rhythms add the excitement of instrumental backing to your performance, letting you control the accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto Accompaniment effectively splits the keyboard into two sections: The upper is used for playing a melody line, and the lower (labeled “AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT SECTION” on the keyboard, including keys C1 through F2) is for the Auto Accompaniment function.
Selecting a Style
1. Press the STYLE button to select the Style mode.
4.With the rhythm running, you’re ready to try out the Auto Accompaniment feature. Try playing a few single notes with your left hand, and notice how the bass and chord accompaniment change with each key you play. (Refer to the boxed sections on pages 10 and 11 for more information on how to use Auto Accompaniment.)
5. Use the TEMPO buttons to change the tempo of the Style as it’s playing. (For more information on the Tempo functions, see page 7.)
6.While the Style is playing, you can add variation to the rhythm by playing special Fill In patterns. To play a Fill In pattern, press the SYNC START/FILL IN button.
NOTE
The Fill In pattern may not play precisely when you press the SYNC START/FILL IN button, but instead starts on the beat immediately following your press of the button. Also, depending on when you press the button, only a portion of the Fill In might be played. Both of these situations are normal and are done to ensure that the Fill In pattern complements the basic rhythm, rather than disrupting it.
2.Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired Style number.
3. You can start the selected rhythm by pressing the START/STOP button.
The PortaTone also has a Synchro Start function that allows you to start the rhythm by simply pressing a key on the keyboard. To use Synchro Start, first press the SYNC START/FILL IN button, then press one of the keys in the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT SECTION.
NOTE
Synchro Start is automatically set to stand-by when you select the Style mode. (The dots in the MULTI DISPLAY flash to indicate stand-by status.)
7. To stop the rhythm, press the START/STOP button again.
Pressing the START/STOP button while the rhythm is playing produces a simple ending phrase. This also applies to playing Jam Track patterns in the Song mode.
