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
Connect the AC adaptor in the order shown in the illustration.
• Use the specified AC adaptor (page 85) 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.
• If the plug is accidentally removed from the AC adaptor, slide it back in until it clicks into place, t aking care to avoid touching any internal metal parts. To avoid electric shock, short circuit or damage, also be careful that there is no dust between the AC adaptor and plug.
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.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instru­ment.
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.
• 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 the order shown above in reverse when disconnecting the AC adaptor.

4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that
it locks firmly in place.
Make sure to set the battery type correctly (page 13).
• 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.
• 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
Depending on the battery type to be used, you may need to change the battery type setting on this instru­ment. Alkaline (and manganese) batteries are cho­sen by default. After installing new batteries and turning the power on, make sure to set the Battery Type appropriately (rechargeable or not) via Function number 061 (page 55).
• Failure to set the battery type may shorten the amount of the battery life. Make sure to set the battery type correctly.

1 Turn down the [MASTER VOLUME] dial to “MIN.”
2 Press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch to turn the
power on. The Voice name appears on the display. Adjust the volume as desired while playing the key­board.
3 Press and hold the [ ] (Standby/On) switch for
about a second to set the instrument to standby mode.
• Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby sta­tus, electricity is still flowing to the product at the mini­mum level. Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Press only the [ ] (Standby/On) switch when turning the power on. Any other operations such as pressing the pedal are not allowed. Doing so may cause the instrument to malfunction.

Setting the Auto Power Off function

To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this instrument features an Auto Power Off function that automatically turns the power off if the instrument is not operated for a specified period of time. The amount of time that elapses before the power is automatically turned off is 30 minutes by default; however, you can change the setting.
To set the time that elapses before
Auto Power Off is executed:
Press the [FUNCTION] button several times until “AutoOff” (Function 060; page 55) appears, then use the [+/YES] or [-/NO] button to select the desired value.
Settings: OFF, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120 (minutes) Default value: 30 (minutes)
To disable the Auto Power Off function:
Turn the power on while holding down the lowest key on the keyboard. A message “oFF AutoOff” appears briefly, then the instrument starts up with the Auto Power Off function disabled. The Auto Power Off function also can be disabled by selecting Off in Function number 060 (page 55).
• Depending on the instrument status, the power may not turn off automatically, even after the elapse of the specified period of time. Always turn off the power manually when the instrument is not in use.
• When the instrument is not operated for a specified period of time while connected to an external device such as an amplifier, speaker or computer, make sure to follow the instructions in the Owner’s Manual to turn off the power to the instrument and the connected devices, in order to pro­tect the devices from damage. If you do not want the power to turn off automatically when a device is con­nected, disable Auto Power Off.
Setting Up
• Generally, the data and settings are maintained even when the power is turned off with the Auto Power Off function. For details, see page 51.

use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial while playing the keyboard.
• Do not use the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.

Connecting Headphones or External Speaker

Connect a pair of headphones to the [PHONES/ OUTPUT] jack. This jack also functions as an exter­nal output. By connecting to a computer, keyboard amplifier, recorder, or other audio device, you can output the audio signal of this instrument to that external device. The speakers of this instrument are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.

Using a Pedal

You can control three functions: Sustain, Articulation (page 19), and Arpeggio (page 21) as you play by pressing a footswitch (FC5 or FC4A; sold separately) plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack. By default, Sustain is assigned, so that the sound can be heard for a long time even if you take your finger off the keyboard while pressing the foot switch, like a damper pedal on a piano. To use a function other than Sustain, use the function settings (Function 029; page 53).
• Plug or unplug the footswitch while the power is off. Also, do not press the footswitch when turning the power on. Doing so changes the polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed operation.
• The sustain function does not affect split voices (page 17) and style (automatic accompaniment; page 23).

Using the music rest

Insert the music rest into the slots as shown.
• Do not use the instrument or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic com­ponents, turn off the power of all the components. Also, before turning any components on or off, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum. Otherwise, damage to the components or electrical shock may occur.
• To avoid possible damage to the external device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. When turning off the power, do so in reverse order: first turn off the power to the external device, then to the instrument.

The keys must be played very strongly to generate loud volume. This setting is best for a wide dynamic range and optimum expressive control of the sound, from pianis­simo to forti ssimo.
All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the keyboard is played.

Applying Effects to the Sound

This instrument can apply various Effects as listed below to the instrument’s sound.
DSP
The DSP (digital signal processor) is an effect in which digital signal processing is applied to the sound to change it. When a Voice or Song that features a recommended DSP processing is selected, the DSP effect is applied to the Main Voice and Song part. DSP effect has effect variations, called DSP types. Please refer to page 82. You can also turn the DSP on / off and change the DSP type using the following procedure.
1 Press the [DSP] button to turn on the DSP.
• The DSP effect is only applied to the main voice. The DSP effect is not applied to voices added by the Dual function or voices in the left hand area that have been split.
• The DSP cannot be turned on during lessons.
When the DSP is turned on, the DSP type (page
82) appropriate for the current panel setting is automatically selected, but you can also select it yourself.

NOTE
Articulation
Articulation is an effect that reproduces the sounds of playing methods that are unique to specific acous­tic instruments. The Articulation effect is applied to the sound only while holding down the [ARTICULATION] button. The Articulation effect is enabled only for S.Art Lite Voices (Super Articulation Lite Voices). The S.Art Lite Voices are indicated by “***” in Voice List (page
68).
Examples of the Articulation effect
If you select a guitar voice, you can realistically reproduce the following guitar-specific playing tech­niques.
Example: Voice number 044 “S.Art Lite Nylon Guitar Harmonics”
If you play the keyboard while holding down the [ARTICULATION] button, a harmonics sound is pro­duced.
Example: Voice number 048 “S.Art Lite Distortion Guitar”
If you press the [ARTICULATION] button, a scratch­ing noise is produced.
When S.Art Lite Voices are selected, the appropriate articulation effect is automatically selected. When other Voices are selected, the modulation effect is automatically selected.
1 Press the [ARTICULATION] button while playing
the keyboard.
Adding the Articulation effect by using the pedal
If you assign the Articulation function to the pedal (foot switch) with “PdlFunc” (Function 029; page 53), you can apply the effect by pressing on the pedal.
• The Articulation effect is applied only to a Main Voice.
• S.Art Lite Voices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on a Keyboard Harmony effect, and then change the transpose setting or change the Voice Settings, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
Reverb
Adds the ambience of a club or concert hall to the sound. Although the best-suited Reverb type is called up by selecting a Song or Style, you can select another one via Function number 020 (page
53). When you select “oFF,” the Reverb effect is turned off. And you can also set the Reverb depth via Function number 021 (page 53).
Chorus
Makes the Voice sound richer, warmer and more spacious. Although the best-suited Chorus type is called up by selecting a Song or Style, you can select another one via Function number 022 (page
53). When you select “oFF,” the Chorus effect is turned off. You can also set the Chorus depth for Voices via Function numbers 007 (page 52), 011, 015 (page 53). The Chorus depth cannot be applied to the Styles or Songs.
Sustain
By turning on the Sustain parameter of Function number 024 (page 53), you can add a fixed, auto­matic sustain to the Main/Dual Voices played on the keyboard. Or, you can produce a natural sustain as desired with the footswitch (sold separately; page
14).

2 Release the [ARTICULATION] button to turn
Articulation off.
