WARNING

NOTICE

Power Requirements

Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.

Using an AC Power Adaptor

1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off

(the backlight display is off).

• Use the specified adaptor (page 60) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

2 Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack. 3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

 Installing the batteries

1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off

(display is blank, except for notation staff).

2 Open the battery compartment cover located on the

instrument’s bottom panel.

3 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow

the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.

4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it

locks firmly in place.

Using Batteries

This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline (LR6)/Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiMH batteries are recommended for this instrument, since other types may result in poorer battery performance.

• When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that came with the batteries. Use only the specified charger device when charging.

PSR-E343/YPT-340 Owner’s Manual

• Connecting or disconnecting the power adaptor with batteries installed may turn the power off, resulting in loss of data being recorded or transferred at the time.

When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, make sure to replace all batteries with new ones or already-recharged ones.

NOTE

• This instrument cannot charge the batteries. Use only the specified charger device when charging.

• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the instrument.

 Setting the battery type

NOTICE

Insert the music rest into the slots as shown.

CAUTION

NOTICE

CAUTION

After installing new batteries and turning the power on, make sure to set the Battery Type appropriately (rechargeable or not) via Function number 042 (page

35).

Setting Up

• When the instrument’s sound is output to an external device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.

• Failure to set the Battery Type may shorten the amount of the battery life. Make sure to set the Battery Type correctly.

Using the music rest

Connecting Headphones or External Audio Equipment

Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4” stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.

Connecting a Footswitch to the SUSTAIN jack

You can produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing an optional Footswitch plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack.

NOTE

• The sustain function does not affect split voices (page 15).

• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.

Turning the Power On/Off

Turn down the [MASTER VOLUME] control to “MIN” then press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch to turn on the power. While playing the keyboard, adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control. To turn off the power, press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch again for a second.

While playing the keyboard, use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume to an appropriate level.
