Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an 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 adaptor
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off
(the backlight display is off).
• Use the specified adaptor (page 69) only. Using the
wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
2 Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN jack (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.
Installing the batteries
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off.
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.
NOTE
• After turning off the power, follow this procedure in reverse
order to disconnect the AC adaptor.
• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an
AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the
instrument.
Using Batteries
This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline (LR6)/
Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable nickelmetal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries are recommended for this instrument, since
other types may result in poorer battery performance.

4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that
it locks firmly in place.
• 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.
• Change the setting of the instrument according to the kind
of battery you are using (Battery Type; page 42).
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

• When a Dual Voice is selected from Voice numbers 162
to 188, the left Voice section sounds only the Main Voice.
• Certain functions such as Lesson, Harmony/Arpeggio
and Dual cannot be used in the Duo mode.
How sounds are output in the Duo mode
Notes played in the left Voice section sound from
the left side speaker while notes played in the
right Voice section sound from the right side
speaker, in the initial Duo mode setting. This output setting can be changed from the “VoiceOut”
setting (Function 027; page 41).
• In the Duo mode, the pan, volume and tonal characteristics of the strereo sound may differ from those in the normal mode, due to the setting of VoiceOut = “Separate”
(page 41). Particularly with Drum Kits, the difference
may be more obvious, since each key of a Drum Kit features a different stereo pan position.
Using sustain in the Duo mode
Sustain can be applied to the left and right Voice
sections in Duo mode just as it normally is by
using one of the following methods in the Duo
mode like the usual mode.
• Press the foot switch (page 13) connected to the
[SUSTAIN] jack.
• Set “Sustain” (Function 023; page 41) to on.
• Sustain cannot be applied independently to the left
Voice section and the right Voice section.
• While Panel Sustain is on, the setting of hold is maintained even when the power is turned off.
Style Playback in the Duo mode
Although full Style features (accompaniment)
cannot be used in the Duo mode, the rhythm part
of a Style can be played back while playing the
left/right Voices normally.
Recording in the Duo mode
The right Voice section and the left Voice section
are recorded on the same track.
To exit from the Duo mode, press the

power, and turn the power back on again

Playing Songs
These demonstration songs showcase the various sounds of the instrument.
Each of these songs has two variations: an easy one which even beginners can practice
with ease, and another more challenging version.
We’ve collected various folk songs from around the world which have been handed down
from through the generations, as well as famous classical pieces. Try playing the melody
of these songs with your right hand.
Enjoy performing a piece with Style accompaniment (automatic accompaniment data).
(Keys to Success is designed so that you master playing the melody with your right hand
first, and then learn the roots of the chords with your left hand.)
These songs feature solo instruments other than piano—letting you enjoy playing other
instrumental voices along with orchestral accompaniment.
These included famous pieces from around the world along with well-known piano
pieces. Enjoy the beautiful, resonant piano sound as you play solo or along with orchestral backing.

of the available notes, so when auto accompaniment is used the
total number of available notes for playing on the keyboard is
correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the Split Voice
and Song functions. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded,
earlier played notes will be cut off and the most recent notes
have priority (last note priority).

• The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each
voice. Use these program change numbers when playing the
instrument via MIDI from an external device.
• Program Numbers 001 to 128 directly relate to MIDI Program
Change Numbers 000 to 127. That is, Program Numbers and Program Change Numbers differ by a value of 1. Remember to take
this into consideration.
• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after
the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch)
is held.

Si la fiche est retirée accidentellement,
remettez-la en place sans toucher les parties
métalliques et faites-la glisser complètement jusqu'à
ce qu'un déclic se produise.
• Assurez-vous que la fiche reste fixée à l'adaptateur secteur.
L'utilisation de la fiche seule risque de provoquer des
électrocutions ou des incendies.
• Ne touchez jamais la partie métallique lorsque vous
insérez la fiche. Afin d'éviter les risques d'électrocution,
courts-circuits ou incidents, veillez également à ce que
l'adaptateur secteur et la fiche ne soient pas encrassés par
la poussière.

Area. Yamaha suggests that you read the Limited Warranty thoroughly, and invites you to contact your authorized Yamaha dealer or
Yamaha Customer Service if you have any questions.

otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without charge for labor or
materials. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed Yamaha specifications for new parts. If

noise) caused by improper grounding or the improper use of either certified or uncertified equipment, if applicable. Any evidence of
alteration, erasing or forgery of proof-of-purchase documents will cause this warranty to be void. This warranty covers only the Original
Owner and is not transferable.

Area. Contact your local authorized Yamaha dealer who will advise you of the procedures to be followed. If this is not successful, contact
