PREPARATION
This section contains information about setting up your PSR400/PSR-500 and preparing to piay. Be sure to go through this
section carefuiiy before using your PSR-400/PSR-500.
POWER SUPPLY
Your PSR-400 or PSR-500 will run either from batteries* or an optional power
adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to
use.
* When batteries are used the sound of tiie PSR-400/PSR-500 may be distorted at high vol
ume levels. This is because tiie power of the amplifier is reduced when batteries are used.
CAUTION!
Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) dur
ing any PSR-400/PSR-500 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
Using Batteries
style'S.P'.!TVQIC£

sme sMTvofCE beat
____
yW6
The PSR-400/PSR-5CX) is initially supplied with a set of batteries. Depending on
storage conditions, the supplied batteries may not last as long as a fresh set.
When the batteries need to be replaced, “batt” will appear on the MULTI DIS
PLAY. When this display appears the PSR-400/PSR-500 will not operate, and the
power must be turned off while either the batteries are replaced or an AC adaptor is
connected.* Internal data will be retained for up to about 10 minutes while the
batteries are changed or an AC adaptor is connected.
When the batteries fail, replace them with six 1.5 V SUM-1, “D” size, R-20 or
equivalent batteries, as follows:
©'□tZJOOOO©
“1 r”
+ ^ -
PA-5
1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel
and remove the old batteries.
□
2. Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the
inside of the compartment.
3. Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place. ^
* If fresh batteries or an AC adaptor are not immediately available, it may be possible to use
the PSR-400/PSR-500 for a little while longer by turning the power off and then on again,
and playing at a low volume setting.
Caution:
1. When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.
NEVER mix old and new batteries.
2. Do not use different kinds of batteries at the same time.
3. To prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the batteries from the instru
ment if it is not to be used for an extended period of time.
Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor
■o
Plug the DC output cable from an optional Yamaha PA-5 AC Power Adaptor
into the DC IN jack on the rear panel of the PSR-400/PSR-500, then plug the AC
cable of the Power Adaptor into a convenient wall AC power socket.
The internal batteries are automatically disconnected when an AC Power Adap
tor is used.
* Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5 AC Power Adaptor to power your instrument from the AC mains.
Other adaptors may be damaged by use with the PSR-400/PSR-500, and they may even
cause serious damage to your PSR-400/PSR-500.
USING HEADPHONES OR AN EXTERNAL SOUND SYSTEM
A Standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged into the rear-panel HEAD
PHONES/AUX. OUT 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. The HEADPHONES/AUX. OUT jack can also be used
to deliver the output of the PSR-400/PSR-500 to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound
system, mixing console or tape recorder.
Stereo sound system
THE FOOT PEDAL
Plug the supplied foot pedal into the rear-panel FOOT PEDAL jack. The foot
pedal functions as a damper pedal, controlling sustain. Press the pedal to sustain
notes after the keys are released.
• Be sure that you do not press the pedal while inserting the plug into the FOOT
PEDAL jack or while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status of the
footswitch will be reversed. This function has been implemented to allow either
press-to-make or press-to-break contact type footswitches to be used with the
PSR-400/PSR-500.
• Sustain cannot be applied to voices in which releasing the key played does not
stop the sound: e.g. MUTE GUITAR (26), MARIMBA (41), PERCUSSIONS
(99), etc.
•
THE MUSIC STAND
Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot located at the rear of the
PSR-400/PSR-500 control panel.

Auto Power OFF
To prevent unnecessary battery drainage, the PSR-400/
PSR-500 features an Auto Power OFF function that auto
matically turns the power OFF if the instrument is not
used — i.e. no buttons or keys are pressed or no automatic
features are operating — for approximately 10 minutes.
The Auto Power OFF function does not operate when
the PSR-400/PSR-500 is powered from an optional AC
Power Adaptor.

NORMAL
This is the normal mode of operation in which you can
select and play a single voice (or two voices if the DUAL
VOICE function is used), and select styles for rhythmonly accompaniment.
SPLIT
In this mode different voices can be selected for the leftand right-hand sections of the keyboard. See page 23 for
details.
FEATURE REFERENCE (overall control)
SINGLE FINGER
This mode provides automatic rhythm, bass, and orchestra
accompaniment that you can control by playing just one,
two, or three keys in the left-hand section of the keyboard.
See page 18 for details.
FINGERED
The FINGERED mode provides automatic rhythm, bass,
and orchestra accompaniment based on chords you play in
the left-hand section of the keyboard. See page 18 for
details.
• DSP (Digital Sound Processing — PSR-500 only)
The [DSP] button provides two digital effects that you
can use for extra depth and expressive power. This button
determines the type of effect to be used, while the
REVERB DEPTH controls in the VOICE section allow
the depth of the effect to be individually set for each voice
— including the left- and right-hand split voices, and the
main and sub dual voices.
Each time the [DSP] button is pressed the next effect is
selected and the corresponding indicator will light. No
effect is selected when the OFF indicator is lit.

ROOM
This setting adds a reverb effect to the sound that is
similar to the type of acoustic reverberation you would
hear in a room.
HALL
For a spacious reverb sound, use the HALL setting.
This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a concert
•
hall.
• Almost all of the auto accompaniment styles are programmed to
use the DSP effects, but no effect will be produced If DSP is set
to OFF.
The volume range is from 0 to 24. A setting of 0 pro
duces no sound while 24 is the highest volume level. The
default accompaniment volume value (21) can be recalled
at any time by pressing both the ACCOMPANIMENT
VOLUME [A] and [T] buttons at the same time,
• When this parameter has been changed, be sure to store the
new data to a PAGE MEMORY (see page 13). If this is not done
the newly selected data will be lost when a different PAGE
MEMORY is selected.
PITCH BEND
The PITCH BEND wheel to the left of the keyboard
allows the pitch notes to be bent up or down — roll the
wheel away from you to bend up, and toward you to bend
down (this situation can be reversed, as described below).
When the PITCH BEND wheel is moved almost all the
way in either direction, the current pitch bend range value
will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY (see below).

FEATURE REFERENCE (overall control)
Setting the Pitch Bend Range
The maximum amount of pitch bend produced by the
PITCH BEND wheel can be set anywhere from ±1 semi
tone to ±12 semitones (i.e. plus or minus one octave).
1. To set the pitch bend range, roll the PITCH BEND
wheel all the way in either direction so that the current

TRANSPOSE
The PSR-400/PSR-500 [TRANSPOSE] buttons makes
it possible to shift the pitch of the PSR-4(X)/PSR-500 up or
down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semi
tones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the PSR-4(X)/
PSR-500 keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key
signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the
keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

FEATURE REFERENCE (overall control)
Press the TEMPO [A] button to increase the tempo, or
the TEMPO [▼] button to decrease the tempo. The se
lected tempo will be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY
(in quarter-note beats per minute) while the TEMPO [A]
or [T] button is pressed, and for approximately 2 seconds
after either TEMPO button is released.
The available tempo range is from 40 to 240 beats per
minute. Each accompaniment style has a different “de
fault” tempo which is automatically set whenever a new
style is selected (but not when a new style is selected
while the accompaniment is playing). The default tempo
for the currently selected accompaniment style can be
recalled at any time by pressing both the TEMPO [A] and
[▼] buttons at the same time.
# SPLIT POINT CHANGE
Separate split points can be set for the SPLIT, FIN
GERED, and SINGLE FINGER modes. The default split
point settings are as follows:
• SPLIT mode: Ctt3
• SINGLE FINGER mode: D2
• FINGERED mode: G2
The split point for each mode can be set to any other
key while that mode is selected by pressing the desired
split-point key while holding the [SPLIT POINT
CHANGE] button.
PAGE MEMORY
The PAGE MEMORY can be used to store 4 complete
sets of panel settings (including the contents of the SONG
MEMORY and MULTI PAD features) in the PSR-500
and 2 in the PSR-400 that can then be recalled simply by
pressing a single button.
When the power is initially turned on the previously
selected “PAGE” is automatically selected and its indica
tor will light. If any changes are then made to the panel
settings the PAGE indicator will flash, indicating that
changes have been made. If the same PAGE button is then
pressed the original PAGE settings will be recalled and
the indicator will light continuously again.
The following panel settings are stored by the PAGE
MEMORY:
• Currently selected voice(s).
• MULTI PAD (PSR-500)/DRUM PAD (PSR-400) contents.
•SONG MEMORY contents.
• VOICE MEMORY contents.
• VOICE section parameter settings (Auto Harmony, Reverb
Depth (PSR-500), Volume, Octave, Pan, MIDI Out Channel,
Dual).
• CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT contents.
• Currently selected STYLE.
• Currently selected chord voice when accompaniment stopped.
• ORCHESTRATION settings.
• ACCOMPANIMENT CONTROL status.
• MODE.
• ACCOMP. VOLUME.
•TUNE.
• TRANSPOSE.
• TEMPO.
• PITCH BEND RANGE.
• DSP (PSR-500)
• MIDI RECEIVE CHANNELCLOCK.
• The MIDI MODE setting is not recorded by the PAGE MEMORY.
MIDI MODE is reset to "00" whenever the power is turned on or
a different PAGE is selected.
The split point is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY for
as long as the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button is held.
The C3 key, for example, would be displayed as “c 3”.
Ftt2 would be displayed as “F"2”. The sharp is indicated
by the lit bar between the “F” and the “2.”
