Setting Up
-
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-202 for playing. Make sure to
read this section carefully before using the instrument.
Power Requirements
Although the PSR-202 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-202 to a wall socket, you will need the optionally available
Yamaha PA-3C or PA-3B Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could result
in damage to the instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind.
Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the PSR-202 is set to STANDBY.
Connect one end of the adaptor to the DC IN 12V jack on the rear panel of your
PSR-202, and the other end to a suitable electrical outlet.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3C or
PA-3B 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 adap
tor and the PSR-202.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor
when not using the PSR-202,
or during electrical storms.
Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery compartment lid. Insert
six 1.5-volt “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned,
and replace the lid.
● When the Batteries Run Down
When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the
PSR-202 may not sound or function properly. As soon as this happens, replace
them with a complete set of six new batteries.
Turning On the Power
• Never mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline and
manganese).
• To prevent possible damage
from battery leakage, remove
the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for a
long time.
With the AC power adaptor connected or with batteries installed, simply move the
STANDBY switch until it is set to the ON position. When the instrument is not in
use, be sure to turn the power off.
8
• Even when the switch is in the
“STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
When you are not using the
PSR-202 for a long time, make
sure you unplug the AC power
adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries
from the instrument.
For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack. Sound from the builtin speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into
this jack.
Setting Up
■ Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo System • • • • • • •
Though the PSR-202 is equipped with a built-in speaker system, you can also play
it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the PSR-202 and
any external devices are turned off, then 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 rear
panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the PSR-202.
This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain
the sound of the keyboard voice. This is used in the same way as a damper pedal
on an acoustic piano — press and hold down the footswitch as you play the keyboard to sustain the sound.
• To prevent damage to the
speakers, set the volume of the
external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe
these cautions may result in
electric shock or equipment
damage. Also, be sure to set
the volumes of all devices at
their minimum levels and grad
ually raise the volume controls
while playing the instrument to
set the desired listening level.
• Make sure that the footswitch
plug is properly connected to the
SUSTAIN jack before turning on
the power.
• Do not press the footswitch while
turning the power on. Doing this
changes the recognized polarity
of the footswitch, resulting in
reversed footswitch operation.
The PSR-202 also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the PSR202 with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information, see page
52.)
