Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an AC
Setting Up
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.
• You should use an AC adaptor when executing USB flash
drive operations, since battery power may not be reliable
enough to last through these crucial operations.
Using an AC Adaptor
Connect the AC adaptor in the order shown in the
illustration.
• 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 the power off and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
• Follow this procedure in reverse order when disconnecting
the AC adaptor.
Using Batteries
This instrument requires the following batteries.
• PSR-E463: Six “AA” size alkaline (LR6), manganese
(R6) or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
• PSR-EW410: Six “D” size alkaline (LR20), manganese (R20) or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH batter-
ies 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.
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off.
2 Open the battery compartment cover located on
the instrument’s bottom panel.
• Use the specified AC adaptor (page 80) only. Using the
wrong AC adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
• When using the AC adaptor with a removable plug, make
sure to keep the plug attached to the AC adaptor. Using the
plug alone can cause electric shock or fire .
• Never touch the metallic section when attaching the plug.
To avoid electric shock, short circuit or damage, also be
careful that there is no dust between the AC adaptor and
plug.

• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an
AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the
instrument.
3 Insert the six new batteries, putting them in the
correct direction according to the illustration.
4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure
that it locks firmly in place.
• Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor with batteries installed may turn the power off, resulting in loss of
data being recorded or transferred at the time.
• Make sure to set the battery type correctly (page 15).
• 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.
Setting the battery type
Depending on the battery type to be used, you may
need to change the battery type setting on this instru-
ment. To change the setting, first turn on the power to
the instrument, then choose the battery type you
would like to use. Alkaline (and manganese) batter-
ies are chosen by default. For details, refer to page
69, Function 064 (PSR-E463)/Function 065 (PSREW410).
• Failure to set the battery type may shorten the amount of
the battery life. Make sure to set the battery type correctly.
Checking the power status
Yo u can confirm the power source at the left corner
of the display.
GrandPno
: The power is supplied from the AC adaptor.
: The power is supplied from the batteries.
• When the AC adaptor is plugged in to the AC outlet, the battery icon does not appear even when batteries are inserted. In
this case, the power is supplied from the AC adaptor.
Remaining battery power indication
Indicates that the power will be turned off
immediately. When rechargeable batteries
are used, this icon flashes before the power
is turned off.
Indicates that remaining power is insufficient
for operation. Before the power runs out,
replace all the batteries with new ones, or
fully recharged ones (when using rechargeable types). Note that the instrument may
not work properly, including unusually soft
volume and poor sound quality when
remaining power becomes low.

target to which the DSP effects are applied differs
from the recording tracks, DSP related setting
data (DSP target, type, parameter A/B) will not be

• The DSP effects may not be applied as expected
when a User Song is being played back. This is
because the DSP effects are affected by the data
recorded to the User Song.

you may not notice any change to the parameter value, or you
may hear a noise, or the knob may not work properly, even if
you rotate it.

Press the [TARGET] button to switch the target controlled with the knobs. The current target is shown in
the display.
• After selecting z, x or c by pressing the [KNOB

settings created via the knobs with the default settings
of the new Voice.
If you want to keep the settings you have created,
make sure to memorize it to Registration Memory
(page 44) before selecting a different Voice.
• Rotating a knob to the right while the volume is set to a
high level may result in distortion. If this occurs, reduce
the volume level.

MIDI Data
A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound
itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength—just
as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator (of the Clavinova,
etc.) outputs the corresponding sound. A MIDI Song uses a small amount of data capacity in comparison to an
Audio song, and allows you to easily change aspects of the sound, such as Voices used, etc.
• For details on Audio playback and recording, refer to page 42.
Song Category
The Songs are organized by category as listed below.
• In addition to the 30 preset Songs in this instrument, you can enjoy extra Songs downloadable from the Yamaha website. For details,
refer to page 11.
• For instructions on transferring Songs from a computer to this instrument, refer to the online PDF manual (page 11) “Computer-related
Operations.”
The numbers are generally assigned to the Songs in the following sequence: Songs transferred from a computer, Songs in the USB
flash drive. When you transfer a Song from a computer while the USB flash drive is connected to the instrument, the transferred Song
will be inserted before the first USB Song number, moving all USB Song numbers later in sequence.
