Basic Editing Procedure9
Selecting & Playing the Voices11
Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the
simple rules given below:
■ Location
Do not expose the instrument to the following
conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or
more serious damage.
•Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
•High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, out-
side, or in a car during the daytime).
•Excessive humidity.
•Excessive dust.
•Strong vibration.
■ Power Supply
•Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument
is not in use.
•The power cord should be unplugged from the
AC outlet if the instrument is not to be used for
an extended period of time.
•Unplug the instrument during electric storms.
•Avoid plugging the instrument into the same AC
outlet as appliances with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid
using multi-plug adaptors since these can result
in reduced sound quality and possibly damage.
■ Turn Power OFF When Making
Connections
•To avoid damage to the instrument and other
devices to which it is connected (a sound system,
for example),
lated devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio and MIDI cables.
■ Handling and Transport
•Never apply excessive force to the controls, con-
nectors or other parts of the instrument.
•Always unplug cables by gripping the plug
firmly, not by pulling on the cable.
•Disconnect all cables before moving the instru-
ment.
•Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or
placing heavy objects on the instrument can result in scratches and more serious damage.
turn the power switches of all re-
■ Cleaning
•Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.
•A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove
stubborn grime and dirt.
•Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
•Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instrument (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).
■ Electrical Interference
•This instrument contains digital circuitry and
may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move
the instrument further away from the affected
equipment.
■ Service and Modification
•The PSR-1700/PSR-2700 contains no user serviceable parts. Opening it or tampering with it in
anyway can lead to irreparable damage and possibly electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified YAMAHA personnel.
■ Data Backup
•Internal data (e.g. Song Memory data) is retained
in memory even if the power switch is turned off
as long as backup batteries are installed (page 5)
or the AC plug is connected. The internal
memory can, however, be corrupted by incorrect
operation. Be sure to save important data to
floppy disk frequently so you have a backup to
revert to if the data in memory is accidentally
damaged. Also note that magnetic fields can
damage data on floppy disks, so it is advisable to
make a second backup copy of disks that contain
particularly important data. Always keep backup
disks in a safe place away from stray magnetic
fields (e.g. those produced by speakers, appliances containing motors, etc.). More important
precautions for floppy disk use are given in the
“Floppy Disk” section beginning on page 56.
YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 and preparing to
play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-1700/PSR-2700.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION
• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the power cord)
during any record or disk operation! Doing so can result in a loss
of data.
■Installing the Backup Batteries
For memory backup the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 requires four 1.5V SUM-3, “AA” size, R-6 or equivalent
batteries. All PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 features will operate without these batteries installed, but song
memory and other data that is not saved to disk will be lost when then power is turned off. To prevent accidental loss of data, we recommend that a set of backup batteries be installed while the instrument is in regular
use. When the backup batteries need to be replaced “Backup Battery Low” will appear on the LCD display
panel when the power is initially turned on (this also occurs if no backup batteries are installed). Try to replace the batteries
before they fail and the backup memory contents are lost.
Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom
Z
panel.
Insert the four new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings
X
on the inside of the compartment.
Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
C
CAUTION
• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of
four new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries.
• Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese)
at the same time.
• To prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the
batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended
period of time.
• When you replace the batteries, any backed-up data will be lost. To
avoid this, be sure to save your valuable data to a floppy disk before
replacing the batteries.
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged into the rear-panel
HEADPHONES jack for private practice or late-night playing. The internal
speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is
plugged into the HEADPHONES jack.
■Connecting to an External Sound System
AUX OUT
R
L+R/L
The AUX OUT L+R/L and R jacks deliver the output of the PSR-1700/
PSR-2700 for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA
system, or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the PSR-1700/
PSR-2700 to a monophonic sound system, use only the L+R/L jack. When
a plug is inserted into the L+R/L jack only, the left- and right-channel sig-
nals are combined and delivered via the L+R/L jack so you don’t lose any
of the instrument’s sound.

■The Music Stand
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch or FC7 foot controller can
be plugged into either or both of the rear-panel PEDAL jacks.
The PEDAL 1 jack is initially assigned to sustain control. A footswitch
connected to this jack functions as a damper pedal, controlling sustain.
Press the pedal to sustain notes after the keys are released.
The PEDAL 2 jack is initially assigned to the voice volume control
(MIDI Expression control). An FC7 foot controller connected to this jack
can be used to control voice volume: press the pedal forward to increase
voice volume; backward to decrease voice volume.
Both the PEDAL jacks can be assigned to a wide range of other func-
tions as described in the “Pedal Assign” section on page 72.
Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot located at the rear

Basic Editing Procedure
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 feature a flexible-but-consistent interface that lets you edit just
about all of its parameters using the same basic procedure. Once familiar with the system,
you’ll be able to edit any parameter quickly and easily. Here’s the basic procedure:

First press the button corresponding to the function or parameter you want
to edit. To select voice numbers, for example, press the [VOICE SELECT]
button (its indicator will light). The name of the selected parameter and its
current value will be shown on the LCD display panel.
● The LCD Display Panel
The PSR-2700 and PSR-1700 feature backlit LCD display panels that make
it easy to select and edit parameters as well as perform all other operations.
The PSR-2700 display has two lines of 24 characters each, while the PSR1700 has one line of 16 characters.
The PSR-2700 display has four sections: STYLE, VOICE,
CHORD, and PARAMETER & VALUE. The STYLE and
VOICE sections on the upper line always show the currently selected accompaniment style and voice. The CHORD section on
the lower line shows the detected chord when the Auto Accompaniment feature is used, and the PARAMETER & VALUE section
shows the parameter and value currently selected for editing.
The PSR-1700 display always shows the parameter and value
currently selected for editing.
NOTES
• “Now Processing” may appear on the LCD display panel while the PSR1700/PSR-2700 is processing the data (for example recorded data) or
ready to process it.
XEdit the Parameter..................................................................................................................................
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 let you edit parameters using four different
methods. Use the one that best suits the parameter you have selected:
Each time you press a function button after initially selecting the function,
the value of the corresponding parameter will be incremented (increased) by
one. If you hold the function button for a few seconds, the parameter will
begin to increment continuously as long as you hold the button.
If, for example, you press the [VOICE SELECT] button and LCD display
panel shows that voice number 36 (VCE=036:Fretless) is currently selected,
you can select voice number 37 (VCE=037:SlapBas1) simply by pressing the
[VOICE SELECT] button again.
NOTES
• The SPLIT POINT button, MAPPING button (PSR-2700), and PITCH
button (PSR-2700) are exceptions.

The [+] and [–] buttons can be used to increment (increase by one) or decrement (decrease by one) the currently selected parameter. Press the [+] button
briefly to increment the parameter value, or the [–] button to decrement. If you
hold the [+] or [–] button down, the value will increment or decrement continuously — simply release the button when the desired value has been
reached.
The number buttons — to the right of the [+] and [–] buttons — allow
direct numeric entry of the desired value, and are therefore the fastest way to
edit in many situations.
To select a voice, for example, choose one of the 128 voices — numbered
“01” through “128” — listed in the “Voice & Polyphony List” on page 77, then
enter its number using the number buttons. To select “Harmonica” (number
23), for example, first press [2] then [3]. The number “23” should then appear
on the LCD display panel along with the name “Harmnica”.
The [+/–] button is used to switch between positive and negative values
with parameters that allow negative values (Transpose, Tuning, Octave, and
Pan, for example). A “–” appears before negative values on the LCD display
panel.
When selecting voice numbers the [+/–] button is used to enter the hundreds
digit of the voice number (the button alternately selects no hundreds digit or
“1”), as required, prior to entering the tens and ones digits. The [1] number
button cannot be used to enter the hundreds digit when selecting voices.
2-4: The Data Dial
● Yes/No Confirmation
YESNO
ARE YOU SURE ?
Values outside the range of the selected parameter can not be entered.
This is undoubtedly the easiest way to edit most parameters. Simply rotate
the dial clockwise to increment or counter-clockwise to decrement.
NOTES
Some operations that change important settings or erase data may require you to
confirm your choice by pressing the [YES] or [NO] button. When a choice needs to be
confirmed the ARE YOU SURE? indicator will flash and a digitally sampled voice will ask
“Are you sure?”. Press the [YES] button to execute the specified operation or the [NO]
button to cancel and leave the settings or data unaffected.
If you don’t want to hear the “Are you sure?” confirmation sound, hold down the [NO]
button while initially turning the power switch on. To restore the confirmation sound, turn
the power switch off, then turn it back on again while holding down the [YES] button. The
on/off status of the confirmation sound is retained in memory even when the power
switch is turned off as long as the backup batteries are installed or an AC plug is
connected.
• After editing a parameter other than [VOICE SELECT], the [VOICE SELECT] parameter will automatically be re-selected after a brief delay.
• If you attempt to change a parameter that can not be edited in the
current mode, “IllegalOperation” will appear on the LCD display.
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 have 128 stunning
voices plus 8 different drum and percussion kits
that you can select and play in a number of ways.

The four available parts are turned on and off by
the [R1], [R2], [L1], and [L2] buttons. The indicators next to each of these buttons tell you which
parts are on and which are off, and therefore indicate the current orchestration mode. The [EDIT]
button determines which of the four orchestration
parts is to be edited. You can, for example, assign
any of the 128 voices to each of the orchestration
parts. But before we discuss voice assignment and
editing, let’s take a look at the various orchestration
modes:
● Single Modes
In the “single” modes either the [R1] or [R2] part
voice can be played over the entire keyboard. The R1
and R2 single-voice modes are selected simply by
pressing either the [R1] or [R2] button if neither the
[L1] or [L2] indicators are lit. If the [L1] and/or [L2]
indicators are lit, press them so that both indicators
go out.
Note that when you select the [R1] or [R2] single-
voice mode, the triangular EDIT indicator for the selected voice also lights. This means you can select a
different voice number or otherwise edit the current
voice using the procedures described on page 13.
L1R1
EDIT
L2R2

The R1 voice is played across the
entire keyboard.
The R2 voice is played across the
entire keyboard.
In the dual mode both the [R1] and [R2] part
voices are selected so they can be played simultaneously across the entire keyboard. To select the dual
mode, make sure that both the [L1] and [L2] indicators are out, then press both the [R1] and [R2] buttons simultaneously (or hold one while pressing the
other).
You can switch back to either of the single modes
from the dual mode simply by pressing the [R1] or
[R2] button, as required.
L1R1
EDIT
L2R2
The R1 & R2 voices are played
across the entire keyboard.
● Split Modes
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 allow four different
split modes, with one voice played on the left-hand
section of the keyboard ([L1] or [L2]) and a different
voice on the right-hand section of the keyboard ([R1]
or [R2]). Selecting a split mode is simply a matter of
pressing the buttons corresponding to the desired
left- and right-hand parts.
● Split & Dual Modes
There are five possible combinations of the split
and dual modes, as shown below. The part for the
single-voice side of the combination is selected simply by pressing the appropriate part button, while for
the dual-voice side both buttons must be pressed
simultaneously (or one while holding the other).

The Harmony Types
This harmony type produces a duophonic melody
with the second voice below the melody line. If
you turn both the R1 and R2 voices on (DUAL
01: Duet
02: 1 + 5
03: Country
04: Trio
05: Block
mode) the notes you play on the keyboard will be
played by the R1 voice, and the harmony notes by
the R2 voice. You can individually set the R1 and
R2 voices and voice parameters as required.
A parallel voice is produced a fifth above the
melody voice. As in the Duet type, the R1 and R2
voices can be set individually in the dual mode.
Similar to Duet, but the second voice is above the
melody line. The R1 and R2 voices can be set
individually in the dual mode.
This harmony type generates two voices in addition to the melody voice. Both of the harmony
voices are assigned to R2 in the dual mode.
Three or four notes are added to the melody to
produce four or five-note chords. In the dual mode
the highest and lowest voices (always one octave
apart) are assigned to R1, and the inner two or
three notes are assigned to R2.

Three harmony notes are generated to produce a
four-note chord. If both the R1 and R2 voices are
turned on (dual mode), the 1st (melody) and 3rd
notes are assigned to R1 while the 2nd and 4th
are assigned to R2.
Similar to the preceding type, but depending on
the chords played this type will sometimes produce a more colorful sound. The note assignment
in the dual mode is also different: 1st and 2nd
notes to R1, 3rd and 4th notes to R2.
Four-note chords with open voice (large intervals
between the notes). The result is a very “open”
sound. Since the harmony notes can be as much
as two octaves below the melody, avoid playing in
the lower registers. With certain voices you might
find that changing the octave (see “Octave” on
page 14) results in better sound. In the dual mode
the top (melody) note is assigned to R1 and all
three harmony notes are assigned to R2.
One note is added an octave below the melody.
In the dual mode the melody is assigned to R1
and the lower note to R2.
The notes and assignments are the same as in
the Block type, but the notes are arpeggiated.

One plus two plus five [1+2+5].................................. 1 - 2 - 5
NOTES
• Notes in parentheses can be omitted.
• A perfect fifth (1+5) produces accompaniment based only
on the root and fifth which can be used with many major
and minor chords.
• An octave (1+8) produces accompaniment based only on
the root.
• If three adjacent keys are played simultaneously (white and
black keys), chord accompaniment will be cancelled and
only the rhythm accompaniment will sound. (Chord 1/Chord
2 mode)
* 6 9 chords are only recognized in root position. All other
inversions are interpreted as m11.
* m6 chords are only recognized in root position. All other
b
inversions are interpreted as m7
5.
* 1+2+5 chords are only recognized in root position. All
other inversions are interpreted as sus4.
* With aug and dim7 chords the lowest note played is as-
sumed to be the root.

• The chord fingerings listed are all in “root position”, but
other inversions can be used — with the following exceptions:

SINGLE mode fingering makes it simple to produce beautifully
orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minorseventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the Auto
Accompaniment section of the keyboard. The accompaniment produced is perfectly matched to the currently selected accompaniment
style.
Major Chords:
If you press a “C” key in the left-hand section of the keyboard, for
example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key
in the left-hand section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key
you press will always determine the “root” of the chord played (i.e.
“C” for a C chord).
Minor Chords:
Simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.
Seventh Chords:
Simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.
Minor-seventh Chords:
Simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key
to its left.

NOTES
• The Auto Accompaniment will continue playing even if you lift
your fingers from the Auto Accompaniment keys. You only need
to press the Auto Accompaniment keys when changing chords.
This is a combination of the Single and Chord 1 modes. In this
mode the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 automatically discriminates between
Single and Chord 1 mode fingerings and generates the appropriate
accompaniment.
NOTES
• If more than two keys are played and all but the highest key are
black keys, and the chord is not recognized by the Chord 1
mode, the highest note will be interpreted as the root of a minor
(m) chord.
• If more than three keys are played and, excluding the highest
key, are a mixture of black and white keys, and the chord is not
recognized by the Chord 1 mode, the highest note will be interpreted as the root of a minor-seventh (m7) chord.
• If more than two keys are played and all but the highest key are
white keys, and the chord is not recognized by the Chord 1
mode, the highest note will be interpreted as the root of a seventh (7) chord.
