PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual 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:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha)
only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or
overheating.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• 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.
Do not open
• 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.
Water warning
• 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.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
• 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.
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:
Power supply/AC power adaptor Location
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during
electrical storms.
• 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.
• 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 in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.
• 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.
• Use only the stand 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.

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 buttons, switches 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

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks
(The floppy disk drive may be included or
optional, depending on your locale.)
The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you to
load data from floppy disk to the instrument.
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with
care. Follow the important precautions below.
Introduction
Floppy Disk Compatibility
• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
Formatting a Floppy Disk
• If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or
n
Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be usable as
is on other devices.
Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks
Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk
Drive:
• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing
n
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other
objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.
Removing a Floppy Disk
• After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the
old disks that have been used with other devices, you
may need to format them. For details on how to format a
disk, see page 66. Keep in mind that all data on the disk
will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the disk contains important data.
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.
floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the floppy
disk drive is off), firmly press the eject button at the
upper right of the disk slot all the way in.
When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If
the floppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck,
do not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject
button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to
eject it again.
* Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as
recording, playback, or deletion of data.
If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is
automatically accessed, since the instrument checks whether
the disk has data.
CAUTION
Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument
itself while the disk is being accessed.
Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk
but also damage to the floppy disk drive.
• 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.
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 commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about
once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper headcleaning disks.
About Floppy Disks
Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these precautions:
• 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). When saving data, make sure that the disk's
write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab
closed).

Handling SmartMediaTM*Memory Cards
*SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
This instrument features a built-in SmartMedia card slot (on
the front panel). It lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to a SmartMedia card, and allows
you to load data from a card to the instrument. Be sure to
handle SmartMedia cards with care. Follow the important
precautions below.
Compatible SmartMedia Types
• 3.3V (3V) SmartMedia can be used. 5V type SmartMedia
is not compatible with this instrument.
• SmartMedia cards of seven different memory capacities
of (2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB)
can be used with the instrument. SmartMedia cards
greater than 32MB can be used if they conform to the
SSFDC Forum standard.
n
SSFDC is an abbreviation for Solid State Floppy Disk Card
(another name for SmartMedia cards). The SSFDC Forum is a voluntary organization established for the promotion of SmartMedia.
Formatting SmartMedia Cards
If you find that you are unable to use new, blank SmartMedia cards or cards that have been used with other devices,
you may need to format them. For details on how to format
a SmartMedia card, see page 66. Keep in mind that all data
on the card will be lost after formatting. Make sure to
check beforehand whether or not the card contains important data.
n
SmartMedia cards formatted on this device may or may not be
usable as is on other devices.
Inserting/Removing SmartMedia Cards
Inserting SmartMedia Cards
• Insert the SmartMedia card with the terminal (goldplated) side face down into the card slot, until it fits into
place.
• Do not insert the SmartMedia card in the wrong direction.
• Do not insert anything other than a SmartMedia card in
the slot.
CAUTION
Never attempt to remove the SmartMedia card or turn
the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage the
data on the instrument or card and possibly damage the
SmartMedia card itself.
Introduction
About SmartMedia Cards
Handle SmartMedia cards with care,
and follow these precautions:
•There are times when static electricity affects SmartMedia. Before you touch a SmartMedia card, touch something metallic such as a door knob and aluminum sash,
to reduce the possibility of static electricity.
• Be sure to remove the SmartMedia card from the SmartMedia slot when it is not in use for a long time.
• Do not expose the SmartMedia to direct sunlight,
extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.
• Do not place heavy objects on a SmartMedia card or
bend or apply pressure to the card in any way.
• Do not touch the gold-plated terminals of the SmartMedia card or put any metallic plate onto the terminals.
• Do not expose the SmartMedia card to magnetic fields,
such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors,
etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely
erase data on the SmartMedia, rendering it unreadable.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to
a SmartMedia. Also make sure that labels are attached in
the proper location.
To Protect Your Data (Write-protect):
•To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, affix
the write-protect seal (provided in the SmartMedia package) onto the designated area (within the circle) of the
SmartMedia card. Conversely, to save data on the SmartMedia card, make sure to remove the write-protect seal
from the card.
• Do not reuse a seal that has been peeled off.
Removing SmartMedia Cards
• Before removing the SmartMedia card, be sure to confirm that the card is not in use, or it is not being accessed
by the instrument. Then pull the card out slowly by
hand. If the SmartMedia card is being accessed*, a message indicating that it is in use appears on the instrument's display.
* Accessing includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and
making directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will
automatically access the SmartMedia to check the media
type when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.
