PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions 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:
•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.
•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.
•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.
•Use the specified adaptor (PA-6 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
•Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
•Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
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:
•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.
•When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
•Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-con- nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
•Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
•Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/– polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
•Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
•Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
•Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
•If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.
•Keep batteries away from children.
•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.
•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 near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.
•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.
•When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl or plastic 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.
•Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
•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 USER DATA
•Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF2, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.
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. |
|
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations. |

Basic Display Operation
The Menus
The buttons to the right of the display directly select one of the PSR-530’s four main function menus: VOICE, STYLE, SONG, and CARTRIDGE. The currently selected menu is indicated by a triangular indicator in the display next to the menu list printed immediately to the right of the display panel. In addition to the menus and functions which are available directly via the PSR-530 panel controls, there is also a range of important “background” functions which can be selected via the MENU and SUB MENU [▲] and [▼] buttons.
001 GrandPno |
VOICE L 76 VOICE R2 101 VOICE R1 1 |
The MENU [▲] and [▼] buttons are used to select the menu: REGISTRATION MEMORY, MULTI PAD, MIDI, DIGITAL EFFECT, or OVERALL. The currently selected MENU category is indicated by a triangular indicator in the display next to the menu list printed immediately to the left of the display panel. All of the listed menu categories can be selected by pressing either the MENU [▲] or [▼] button as many times as necessary until the triangular indicator in the display appears next to the name of the desired category. Once a MENU has been selected, the SUB MENU [▲] and [▼] buttons can be used to select the desired function. The SUB MENU functions will be described in detail in the appropriate chapters throughout this manual.

Basic Display Operation
Shortcuts
To make operation as easy and as efficient as possible, the PSR-530 features a number of “shortcuts” which allow you to jump directly to certain functions without having to use the MENU and SUB MENU buttons. All of these shortcuts work in the same way: press and hold a panel button for a few seconds to go to the related function. For example, if you press and hold the [REVERB] button for a few seconds, you will go directly to the REVERB type selection function. The shortcut buttons and the functions they access are listed on the PSR-530 panel, near the upper left corner of the display. The shorcuts will also be described where appropriate throughout this manual.

¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢QQQQQQQQQQQQQQ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Setting Up
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-530 and preparing to play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-530.
Power Supply
Although the PSR-530 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of the more environmentally safe AC adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use.
• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-530 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
■ Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor
z Plug an optional Yamaha PA-6 Power Adaptor into a wall AC outlet.
xThen plug the DC output cable from the PA-6 into the DC IN 10-12V jack on the rear panel of the PSR-530. The internal batteries are automatically disconnected when an AC Power Adaptor is used.
DC IN 10-12V
PA-6
When turning the power OFF, simply reverse the procedure.
•Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-6 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 adaptor and the PSR530.
•Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-530, or during electrical storms.
■ Using Batteries
For battery operation the PSR-530 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R-20 or equivalent batteries.
When the batteries need to be replaced “LoBattry” may appear on top of the display, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries.
Replace the batteries as follows:
z Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel.
xInsert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.
c Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
•When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries.
•Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.
•If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.

Connections
■ The PHONES 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 PHONES jack.
■ SUSTAIN Jack
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch can be plugged into the rear-panel SUSTAIN jack for sustain control. The footswitch functions like the damper pedal on a piano — press for sustain, release for normal sound.
SUSTAIN
■ The AUX OUT R and L/L+R Jacks
The rear-panel AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the PSR-530 for connection to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, a mixing console, or tape recorder. If you will be connecting the PSR-530 to a monaural sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the leftand rightchannel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any
of the PSR-530 sound.

•Be sure that you do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed.
•Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.

The PSR-530 Voices
The PSR-530 actually includes two voice sets: the “panel” voices and percussion kits, and the XG voices. The panel voices include 200 “pitched” voices (voice numbers 1 through 200) and 12 percussion kits (numbers 201 through 212), while the XG voice set includes 480 voices (voice numbers 213 through 692).

See the “Voice List” on page 99.
■ A Word About the “R1”, “R2”, and “L” Voices
The PSR-530 allows up to three voices to be selected at the same time: “R1” (Righthand 1), “R2”, (Right-hand 2) and “L” (Left-hand). Only the “R1” voice is used when you’re playing a single voice over the entire range of the keyboard. When you’re using the DUAL VOICE and/or SPLIT VOICE modes (decribed on pages 19 and 20), however, the “R2” and/or “L” voice will be used as well. The numbers of the currently selected R1, R2, and L voices are all shown on the display panel.

4 Set the Tempo
When you select a different style while the accompaniment is not playing, the “default” tempo for that style is also selected, and the tempo is displayed immediately above “TEMPO” in the display in quarter-note beats per minute. If the accompaniment is playing, the same tempo is maintained even if you select a different style.
You can change the tempo to any value between 32 and 280 beats per minute, however, by using the TEMPO [▼] and [▲] buttons. Press either button briefly to decrement or increment the tempo value by one, or hold the button for continuous decrementing or incrementing.

6 Play On the Auto-accompaniment Section Of the Keyboard
As soon as you play any chord that the PSR-530 can “recognize” on the lefthand section of the keyboard, the PSR-530 will automatically begin to play the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line. The name of the current chord will appear on the display. The accompaniment will continue playing even if you release the keys (unless the Synchro Stop function is engaged
— page 26).

The MAIN A and MAIN B sections can be selected at any time during playback by pressing the corresponding button. Whenever you press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] or [B] button during playback, the PSR-530 will generate an appropriate “fill-in” (one of four types: AA, AB, BA, and BB) which will smoothly connect the current section to the selected section — even if it is the same section. For example, if you press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] button while the MAIN A section is playing, a fill-in will be produced, then the MAIN A section will continue playing. When you select a different section, the fill-in will begin immediately and the new section will actually begin playing from the top of the next measure unless the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] or [B] button is pressed during

Accompaniment Track Muting
The PSR-530 has eight accompaniment tracks — RHYTHM 1, RHYTHM 2, BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1, and PHRASE 2 — that you can control to modify the “orchestration” and therefore the overall sound of the accompaniment. When a style is selected the icons corresponding to the tracks which contain data for any section of that style will light.
● What’s in the Tracks
RHYTHM 1 & 2 |
These are the main rhythm tracks. The RHYTHM tracks produce the |
|
drum and percussion sounds. |
|
|
BASS |
The BASS track always plays a bass line, but the voice will change to |
|
fit the selected style … acoustic bass, synth bass, tuba, etc. |
|
|
CHORD 1 & 2 |
These tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by |
|
each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here. |
|
|
PAD |
This track plays long chords where necessary, using sustained instru- |
|
ments such as strings, organ, choir. |
|
|
PHRASE 1 & 2 |
This is where the musical embellishments reside. The PHRASE tracks |
|
are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras |
|
that make the accompaniment more interesting. |
|
|
•Individual track voices, volume, and other parameters can be changed by using the REVOICE function — page 80.
