Taking Care of Your PortaTone
Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the simple rules given below:
■ Location
Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.
●Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
●High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during the daytime).
●Excessive humidity.
●Excessive dust.
●Strong vibration.
■Power Supply
●Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use.
●An AC adaptor, if used (the PSR-620 runs from either batteries or an optional AC adaptor), should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time.
●Unplug the AC adaptor during electric storms.
●Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the same AC outlet as appliances with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality, operation errors, and possibly damage.
■Turn Power OFF When Making Connections
●To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is connected, turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting MIDI cables.
■Handling and Transport
●Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of the instrument.
●Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.
●Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument.
●Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the instrument can result in scratches and more serious damage.
■Cleaning
●Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.
●A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.
●Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
●Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instrument (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).
■Electrical Interference
●This instrument contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment.
■Data Backup
●Internal data (e.g. Registration Memory data) is retained in memory even if the power switch is turned OFF as long as backup batteries are installed or the AC plug is connected. The internal memory can, however, be corrupted by incorrect operation. Be sure to save important data to floppy disk frequently so you have a backup to revert to if the data in memory is accidentally damaged. Also note that magnetic fields can damage data on floppy disks, so it is advisable to make a second backup copy of disks that contain particularly important data. Always keep backup disks in a safe place away from stray magnetic fields (e.g. those produced by speakers, appliances containing motors, etc.). More important precautions for floppy disk use are given in the “Floppy Disk” section begining on page 64.
■Service and Modification
●The PSR-620 contains no user serviceable parts. Opening it or tampering with it in anyway can lead to irreparable damage and possibly electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified YAMAHA personnel.
YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

Setting Up
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-620 and preparing to play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-620.
Power Supply
Your PSR-620 will run either from batteries or an optional power adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use.
■ Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor .............................................................
Plug the DC output cable from an optional Yamaha PA-5, PA-5B, or PA5C AC Power Adaptor into the DC IN jack on the rear panel of the PSR620, then plug the Power Adaptor (or the AC cable of the Power Adaptor) into a convenient wall AC power socket. The internal batteries are automatically disconnected when an AC Power Adaptor is used.
DC IN 10-12V
PA-5, AC power socket
PA-5B, or PA-5C
■ Using Batteries...............................................................................................................................................
For battery operation the PSR-620 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R-20 or equivalent batteries.
When the batteries need to be replaced “Btry Low” will appear on the display. Also the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power OFF and either replace the batteries or connect an AC adaptor.
Replace the batteries as follows:
ZOpen 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.
CReplace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
•Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-620 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
•Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5, PA5B, or PA-5C AC Power Adaptor 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-620.
•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.
•To prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended period of time.

The PSR-620 has 149 voices that can be selected by using either the [–/ NO] and [+/YES] buttons, the number buttons or the data dial. The voices are listed in the VOICE list printed at the top of the instrument’s control panel.

The Split Mode
The SPLIT mode lets you play different voices with the left and right hands. You could, for example, play bass with the left hand while playing piano with the right. The right-hand voice is the keyboard voice you select in the normal way (page 12), and the left hand voice is selected via the SPLIT VOICE function, described below. The “split point” is initially set at B2 (note number 59), but it can be set at any key on the keyboard.
The SPLIT mode is engaged by pressing the [MODE] button so that the arrow in the display appears next to “SPLIT” in the mode list to the right of the display.

Touch Response
This function turns the touch response of the keyboard ON or OFF. Use the KEYBOARD [TOUCH RESPONSE] button to turn TOUCH RESPONSE ON or OFF as required. The touch-response icon will appear next to “TOUCH” in the display when TOUCH RESPONSE is turned ON. The actual touch response sensitivity of the keyboard can be adjusted via the “TouchSns” function in the OVERALL function group (page 79). When OFF (i.e. when the touchresponse icon is not showing) the same volume is produced no matter how hard you play on the keyboard. Touch response can be turned OFF to produce a more realistic effect with voices that normally do not have touch response: e.g. organ and harpsichord.

Dual Voice |
The dual voice can be changed as required while the |
|
number and name of the current dual voice appear on the |
|
top line of the display. |
|
The PSR-620 has 143 dual voices (voice numbers |
|
01… 141 and 150… 151). Voice numbers 150… 151 exclu- |
|
sively can be used as the dual voice. |
|
|
D.Volume |
Sets the volume of the dual voice so you can create the |
|
optimum blend with the main keyboard voice. The volume |
|

|
voice volume). |
|
|
D.Octave |
Shifts the pitch of the dual voice up or down one or two |
|
octaves. “1”– is down one octave, “2”– is down two oc- |
|
taves; “+1” and “+2” are up one and two octaves, respec- |
|
tively. The original octave of the dual voice is determined |
|
by the “Octave” function in the OVERALL function group |
|
— page 77. |
|
|
D.RevLvl |
Sets the reverb send level for the dual voice. The reverb |
|

|
mum effect). |
|
|
D.ChoLvl |
Sets the chorus send level for the dual voice. The chorus |
|
send level determines the amount of signal sent to the |
|
chorus effect. The range is “00”(no effect) to “127”(maxi- |
|
mum effect). |
|
|
D.Pan |
Positions the dual voice in the stereo sound field. The pan |
|
