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 power 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. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• 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.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be
used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• 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. Also, be sure to set the
volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the
volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening
level.
• 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 cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Using the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks
●
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with
care. Follow the important precautions below.
Compatible Disk Type
3.5
2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
"
Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks
●
To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:
• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and
the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot.
Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the
way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.
• When the PSR-9000 is turned on, the LED below the floppy disk
slot will be lit indicating that the Disk Drive is ready to use.
●
To eject a floppy disk:
• Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the FDD is
stopped (check if the DISK IN USE lamp is off). Press the eject
button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop
out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.
DISK IN USE
DISK IN USE
This lamp is always on
when the power is on,
regardless of the disk operation.
This lamp lights during disk read/write
operations, such as when a disk has
been inserted, during recording, playback, formatting, etc.
Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before
turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for
extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can
cause data read and write errors.
Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head
●
Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs
a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an
extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and
write errors.
●
To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha
recommends that you use a commercially-available dry-type
head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month.
Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper
head-cleaning disks.
●
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive.
Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy
disks.
About the Floppy Disks
●
To handle floppy disks with care:
• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their
protective cases when they are not in use.
• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low
temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.
• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface
of the floppy disk inside.
• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic
fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.
• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a
floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the
proper location.
●
To protect your data (write-protect tab):
• To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s
write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).
• If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed
in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject
button may become stuck in a half-pressed position with the
disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If
this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected
disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk
drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially
ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push
the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure.
●
Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during recording, reading and playing back. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive.
Handling and Installation of Options
WARNING
• Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the PSR-9000 and connected peripherals, and unplug them from the power outlet. Then remove all
cables connecting the PSR-9000 to other devices. (Leaving the power cord
connected while working can result in electric shock. Leaving other cables
connected can interfere with work.)
• Do not disassemble, modify, or apply excessive force to board areas and
connectors on hard disk, and SIMMs. Bending or tampering with boards and
connectors may lead to electric shock, fire, or equipment failures.
CAUTION
• Before handling the internal hard disk or SIMMs, you should briefly touch
Write protect tab ON
(locked or write protected)
●
Data backup
• For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you
keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks.
This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged.
the metal surface to which the hard-disk or SIMM cover is attached (or other
such metallic area — be careful of any sharp edges) with your bare hand so
as to drain off any static charge from your body. Note that even a slight
amount of electrostatic discharge may cause damage to these components.
• It is recommended that you wear gloves to protect your hands from metallic
projections on the PSR-9000 hard disk, SIMMs, and other components.
Touching leads or connectors with bare hands may cause finger cuts, and
may also result in poor electrical contact or electrostatic damage.
• Take care to avoid dropping screws into the PSR-9000 unit. If a screw does
fall in, be sure to remove it before replacing the cover and powering up the
unit. Starting the unit with a loose screw inside may lead to improper operation or equipment failure. (If y ou are unable to retrieve a dropped screw, consult your Yamaha dealer for advice.)

You can connect a computer keyboard to the PSR-9000 for inputting
song and file names or Voice/Style/Song/Registration Memory
numbers. This function is also very convenient in Step recording.
Please note that Macintosh computer keyboards cannot be used with
the PSR-9000.
Refer to pages 44, 103, and 143.
• A computer keyboard can only be used if it has
been connected to the PSR-9000 before turning
the power on. If you have connected a computer
keyboard after turning the power on, simply turn
the power off and back on again.
The sophisticated MIDI functions
give you powerful tools to expand
your music performance and
creation possibilities.
Refer to page 144.

Television
You can connect the PSR-9000 to a television
or video monitor to display the lyrics and chords
in your song data on a larger screen.
Refer to page 141.
• The PSR-9000’s default setting for the external
television/video monitor signal is “PAL.”
Depending on your particular locale, the standard may be different and the setting should be
changed accordingly. (For example, NTSC is
generally used in North America.) Check the
standard used by your television or video monitor, and if it is not PAL, change the setting in the
VIDEO OUT display to “NTSC” (page 141).

recorder. If you are connecting the PSR-9000
to a mono sound system, use only the L/L+R
jack. When only this jack is connected (using
a standard phone plug), the left and right
channels are combined and output through
this jack — allowing you have a mono mix of
the PSR-9000's stereo sound.
Refer to page 126.
This SCSI-2 50-pin connector
(D-sub, half-pitch) can be used
to connect to an external SCSI
data storage device — allowing
you to conveniently save and
store large quantities of data.
Refer to page 127.
Stereo System
• Depending on the SCSI
device, you may need a special
connecting cable or adaptor to
connect the device properly to
the PSR-9000. Make sure to
confirm the connection configuration of both the PSR-9000
and the SCSI device before
purchasing the device.
• The SCSI ID number of the
PSR-9000 is fixed at 7. Make
sure to set the ID number of
the external SCSI device to a
number other than this (i.e., 0 -
6).

Starting Up
Check Your Power Supply
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the
name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on
the rear panel of the PSR-9000 near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The v oltage selector is set at 240V when the unit
is initially shipped.
T o change the setting use a slotted (“minus”) screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so
that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel. Make sure that the
power is turned off before changing the Voltage Selector setting.
Use the following procedure to start up the PSR-9000.
1 Make sure that the POWER switch is in the OFF (extended)
position.
2 Securely plug the “female” end of the AC power cord sup-
plied with the PSR-9000 into the rear-panel AC cord socket.

Music stand
The PSR-9000 is supplied with a music stand that can be attached to the
instrument by inserting it into the holes at the rear of the speaker panel.
Panel logos
The logos printed on the PSR-9000 panel indicate the standards/formats it supports and
special features it includes.
GM System Level 1
GM System Level 1 is an addition to the MIDI standard which guarantees that an y data
conforming to the standard will play accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator
or synthesizer from any manufacturer.
Starting Up
XG
XG is a new Yamaha MIDI specification which significantly expands and improves on
the GM System Level 1 standard with greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and effect capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By using the PSR9000’s XG voices, it is possible to record XG-compatible song files.
XF
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater
functionality and open-ended expandability for the future . The PSR-9000 is capable of
displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played.
Vocal Harmony
Vocal Harmony employs state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal harmony to a lead vocal line sung by the user. Vocal
Harmony can even change the character and gender of the lead voice as well as the
added voices to produce a wide range of vocal harmony effects.
DOC
The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback compatibility with a wide
range of Yamaha instruments and MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series.
Style File Format
The Style File Format — SFF — is Yamaha’s original style file format which uses a
unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on
a wide range of chord types. The PSR-9000 uses the SFF internally, reads optional
SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles using the Style Creator function.

Metronome
This style plays back only a metronome click, without an y other rh ythm parts. Use this as y ou
would a normal metronome, practicing in time with the click. You can adjust the tempo with
the data dial. Playing chords in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard produces
corresponding bass notes and chords, just as in Bass Chord Hold below. There are five different metronome settings, each with a different time signature.
● Bass Chord Hold
Even with the auto accompaniment turned on, this style does not play any rhythm parts, but
simply holds the bass note and chord that correspond to the chord you play in the Auto
Accompaniment section of the keyboard. this is convenient for practicing chords without having to play along with a rhythm. There are five different bass note/chord settings, each with
different voices.
