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 multipleconnector. 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

• Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, 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.

Shortcuts

To make operation as easy and as efficient as possible, the PSR-730/630 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 , y ou will go directly to the REVERB type selection function. The shorcuts will also be described where appropriate throughout this manual.

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-730/630 and preparing to play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-730/630.

Power Supply

• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the

Although the PSR-730/630 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Y amaha recommends use of the more environmentally safe A C adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use .

■ Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor

batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-730/630 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.

z Plug an optional Yamaha PA-6 Power Adaptor into a wall AC outlet. x Then plug the DC output cable from the PA-6 into the DC IN 10-12V jack on

the rear panel of the PSR-730/630. 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.

■ Using Batteries

For battery operation the PSR-730/630 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R20 or equivalent batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced “Lo Battery!!” may appear on top of the display, the volume ma y 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.

• 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-730/630.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR730/630, or during electrical storms.

• 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 PSR730/630 to the defaults.

◆ Important Notes on Battery Use

• Since the PSR-730 and PSR-630 consume a considerable amount of power , Yamaha recommends the use of an A C power adaptor rather than batteries. The batteries should be considered an auxiliary power source for data backup.

• The floppy disk drive, in pa rticular, uses a large amount of power, so it is impor tant to always use an AC power ada ptor when performing disk-intensive operations such as song recording/playback or data load/save. If you attempt to use battery power for these operations and the batteries do fail, you will lose not only the data you’re recording or sa ving, b ut also

other data in internal memory including user styles, user pads, registration memory, etc.

• Taking the above precautions into consideration, always use an AC power adaptor when using the PSR-630/730 for an important performance or when creating important data.

• When using batteries and the “Lo Battery!!” war ning initially appears on the display, the v olume will drop a little but you will be able to use the instrument for a while longer. When the “Lo Battery!!” warning begins to appear every few seconds, replace the batteries as soon as possible.

Connections

■ PHONES Jack

■ SUSTAIN Pedal Jack

SUSTAIN

■ FOOT VOLUME Jack

FOOT VOL

A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private pr actice or late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack.

Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.

The sustain function causes the sound from a depressed key to continue, even after the key is released. Plug an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into the sustain jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. The footswitch connected to this jack can also be set to replicate the functions of some panel buttons, doing things like starting and stopping accompaniment (page

117).

Connecting an optional Y amaha FC7 foot controller lets you use your foot to change the volume as you play the PSR-730/630 (expression function). The foot controller connected to this jack can also be set to replicate the functions of the main volume controls, such as accompaniment or song volume (page 117).

Setting Up

• 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.

• When the sustain or sostenuto pedal functions are being used (page 117), some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the pedal is held.

■ MIDI IN/OUT and TO HOST Connectors

See page 121.

• Connecting PSR730/630 to external equipment only after turning off power for all devices. To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage.

The Demonstration

Once you’ve set up your PSR-730/630, try listening to the pre-progr ammed demonstration songs. A total of 15 demo songs are provided.
