Taking Care of Your PortaTone

Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure

if you follow the simple rules given below:

1. Avoid placing the PortaTone in areas that are subject to
excessive humidity or heat. Do not leave the instrument
near heaters or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for
example.

2. Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be
exposed to excessive dust or moisture.

3. Connections between the PortaTone and any other de­vice must be made with both pieces of equipment turned
OFF.

4. Do not subject the instrument to strong physical shocks,
and avoid placing heavy objects on it.

5. Use a soft cloth, dry or slightly damp, for cleaning.
Never use chemicals such as benzine or thinner.

6. Since the PortaTone contains digital circuitry, it may
cause interference if placed to close to radio or television
receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further
away from the affected equipment.

Power Supply

Your PSR-19 will run either from optional batteries or an
optional power adaptor. Follow the instructions below ac­cording to the power source you intend to use.

Using Batteries

Six 1.5V D size (SUM-1 or R-20) or equivalent batteries
must first be installed in the battery compartment.

1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the in-

strument’s bottom panel.

2. Insert the six batteries, being careful to follow the polar-

ity markings on the cabinet.

3. Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it

locks firmly in place.

Using An Optional Power Adaptor

Plug the DC output cable from an optional PA-3, PA-4 or
PA-40 Power Adaptor into the DC(9-12V)IN jack on the rear
panel, then plug the adaptor into a convenient wall AC power
socket.

Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3, PA-4 or PA-40 Power Adap­tor to power your instrument from the AC mains. Attempting
to use other AC adaptors could result in serious damage to
your PSR-19.

Setting Up & Removing the Mu­sic Stand

The PSR-19 is supplied with a music stand that can be
attached to the instrument by inserting the two pegs extend­ing from its lower edge into the correponding holes on the
rear-panel of the instrument.

To remove the music
stand, remove the pegs
from the holes while lean­ing the stand toward the
keyboard.

Using Headphones or an Exter­nal Sound System

The Rear-panel HEADPHONES/AUX.OUT Jack

A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in
here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal
stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair
of headphones is plugged into the HEADPHONES/
AUX.OUT jack.

The HEADPHONES/AUX.OUT jack can also be used to
deliver the output of the PSR-19 to a keyboard amplifier,
stereo sound system, mixing console or tape recorder. Use
the optional Yamaha connecting cord to connect the HEAD­PHONES/AUX.OUT jack to your sound system.

Caution:

1. When the batteries run down, replace them with a com­plete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new
batteries.

2. 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.

Optional Accessories

■ AC Power Adaptor (PA-3/PA-4/PA-40)

■ Headphones (HPE-3/HPE-5)

■ Stand (L-2/L-4)

■ Bench (BC-6)

■ Stereo Connection Cord (PSC-3)

Use this cord to connect your PSR-19 to a stereo hi-fi system.

■ Stereo Conversion Plug (PCP-1)

Converts stereo pin jacks to a stereo phone plug.

* Some optional accessories may not be available in all areas.
