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.
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 b uttons, s witches 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.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
•
Some of the current memory data (see page 42) is lost when you
turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy
disk/the User Drive (see page 39, 47).
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.
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.

Caution for data operations
Make sure NEVER to turn the PSR-2100/1100’s power off during any kind of data operation involving the USER/
FLOPPY DISK drives — such as saving, deleting, or copying/pasting — until the operation is completely finished.
(Make sure to wait until the alert message disappears.)
Turning the power off during the operation results in the loss of the data being saved or pasted to the respective drive.
Keeping the power on during such operations is particularly important in regard to the USER drive. Turning off the
power while performing a sav e/delete/paste operation with the USER driv e may result in loss of ALL data on the USER
drive (upon the next power on) — and not just the data in question. In other words, if you are performing a save/delete/
paste operation on only the song data of the USER drive and you turn off the power before the oper ation is completed,
you risk losing ALL your USER drive data — including all voices , styles, Multi Pad banks and Registration Memory presets you’ve saved to the USER drive.
This caution also applies to creating a new folder on the USER drive or using the factory reset operation (page 154).
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 45 - 47).
• Naming files and folders (page 44); creating a new
folder (page 47).
• Copying a disk to an another disk (page 153);
formatting the disk (page 153).
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 153.

Power-on Procedure
When you have made all the necessary connections
(page 155) between your PSR-2100/1100 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).
To electrical outlet
Connect the other end (normal AC plug) to the
4
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 PSR2100/1100, and may even pose a serious shoc k hazar d! ALWAYS
UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET
WHEN THE PSR-2100/1100 IS NOT IN USE.
CAUTION
Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor)
during any PSR-2100/1100 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-2100/1100 for an extended period of time, be sure
to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Music Rest
The PSR-2100/1100 is supplied with a music rest 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-2100/1100 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-2100/1100 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-2100/1100 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-2100/1100 is compatible with SMF Formats 0 and 1,
and records “song” data using SMF Format 0.)
Vocal Harmony (PSR-2100 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-2100/1100 uses the SFF internally, reads
optional SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles using the Style
Creator feature.
USB
USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial
interface for connecting a computer with peripheral devices. It
allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while
the power to the computer is on).
