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-connector. 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
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.

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 A C 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.
■ Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor
z Plug an optional Yamaha PA-6 Power Adaptor into a wall AC outlet.
x Then plug the DC output cable from the P A-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 r everse the procedure.
• 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.
• 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 PSR-
530.
• 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.
x Insert 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.
• Plugging or unplugging
the AC power adaptor
while the batteries are installed will reset the PSR530 to the defaults.

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
Setting Up
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 left- and 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).
Panel voices 1… 200
Panel drum kits 201… 212

■ 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 o ver 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.
