PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• 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.

Do not open
• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way.
CAUTION
Water warning
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
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:
Power supply/Power cord
• Always connect the three-pin attachment plug to a properly grounded power source. (For more information about the main power supply, see page 16.)
• 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.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• 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.

(2)-12 1/2
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• 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.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
• Do not place objects in front of the instrument’s air vent, since this may prevent adequate ventilation of the internal components, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.
4 • Tyros3 Owner’s Manual
Connections
• 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.
Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
• Do not subject the instrument to strong physical shock. Excessive physical shock can damage the internal hard disk.
• Always turn the power off when moving the instrument from one location to another. Data on the internal hard disk can be lost or corrupted if the instrument is moved while the power is on.

Main Features

Realistic and richly textured Voices
The new SA2 Voices created with Yamaha’s AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) technology let you play those Voices more naturally and with greater expressiveness—particularly the wind instrument sounds (page 40). What’s more, the Ty ros3 has enhanced the already high-quality piano Voices and other important Voices for playing accompaniment (drum, guitar, etc.), and it newly features Synth Voices inherited from our flagship MOTIF series synthesizer.
Intuitive, quick-access sliders
Eight sliders have been provided just below the LCD display let you conveniently and quickly adjust all parameters shown in the display. The additional ASSIGN slider allows you to assign a desired function (volume, reverb, etc.) and control it in realtime during your performance (page 21). These nine sliders function as footage levers when the Organ Flutes display is shown (page 46).
Dynamic, contemporary Auto Accompaniment Styles
The Tyros3 contains a huge amount of exceptionally high-quality Styles including the new MegaVoices. They feature a newly developed note transposition system for guitar tracks and additional two DSP effect blocks exclusively for the Styles.
Two-track Hard Disk Recorder
The Hard Disk Recorder lets you record your performances to two audio tracks—Main and Sub. A Bounce recording feature lets you record even more tracks, allowing you to easily record multiple parts in layers (page 74).
Convenient Multi Pad Sync function / Registrations and OTS Information
You can embellish your performance as you play with several preset phrases by using the Multi Pads. These can even be synchronized with Style/Song playback (page 65). The information displays for Registration Memory and One Touch Setting allow you to confirm the registered panel setups easily (pages 53, 70).
Main Features
Voice Expandability
Download additional Voices from the website and load them to the Tyros3—and increase your selection of available Voices (page 39).
Easy connection with peripheral devices
The built-in LAN terminal lets you easily connect your Tyros3 directly to the Internet (page 82). The USB terminals compatible with USB 2.0 HighSpeed enable high-speed communication with USB storage devices and computers (pages 94, 96).
The Tyros3 is compatible with the following formats.
“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a stan­dard specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive con­trol over Voices and effects.
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open­ended expandability for the future. The Tyros3 is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played.
“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edi­tion)” is an enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.
VH (Vocal Harmony) employs the digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal harmonies to a lead vocal line sung by the user.
“AEM” is the trademark of Yamaha’s leading-edge tone generation technology. For information on AEM, refer to page 40.

Connecting Headphones or Optional Speaker
Since the Tyros3 has no built-in speakers, you’ll need to monitor the sound of the instrument by using external equipment. Connect a set of headphones to the [PHONES] jack or use the speaker system, such as the optional TRS-MS02 speakers. For instructions on installing the TRS-MS02 to the Tyros3, see page 100. For instructions on connecting other speakers, see page 88.
Shown here is the optional L-7S Keyboard Stand.

Starting Up

This section contains information about setting up your Tyros3 and preparing to play. Be sure to read through this section carefully before turning the power on.

Power Supply

1 Make sure the POWER ON/OFF switch on the Tyros3
is set to OFF.
2 Connect the supplied power cord to the AC IN termi-
nal on the instrument’s rear panel.
Starting Up
3 Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC
outlet.
Make sure your Tyros3 meets the voltage requirement for the coun­try or region in which it is being used.
WARNING
Make sure your Tyros3 is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (as listed on the bottom). Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock haz­ard!
WARNING
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the Tyros3. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!
WARNING
The type of AC power cord provided with the Tyros3 may be different depending on the country in which it is purchased (a third prong may be provided for grounding purposes). Improper connection of the grounding conductor can create the risk of electri­cal shock. Do NOT modify the plug provided with the Tyros3. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use a plug adapter which defeats the grounding conductor.

Turning the Power On

Before you switch your Tyros3 on or off, make sure that the MASTER VOLUME and INPUT VOLUME are set to “MIN” and the volume of any connected audio equipment is turned down.
1 Press the [POWER ON/OFF] switch on the rear
panel.
2 Use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial to adjust the vol-
ume to an appropriate level.
1
2
CAUTION
In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers or other connected electronic equipment, always switch on the power of the Tyros3 before switching on the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and amplifier. Likewise, always switch off the power off the Tyros3 after switching off the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and amplifier.
CAUTION
Even when the POWER switch is turned off, elec­tricity is still flowing to the instrument at the mini­mum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Raising the Display Panel

Unfasten the lock located at the back of the display panel. Then lift the panel and tilt it toward you. The panel will click as you tilt in back; these clicks are the four latched positions. Once you’ve set it to a satisfactory position, release the panel. It will gently fall back to the nearest latched position.
Starting Up
To r eturn the panel to its closed and locked position, gently pull it back toward you until the position is vertical, then push it down until it locks into place.
Looking at the display for a long period of time in the dark may cause eyestrain or damage to your eyesight. Make sure to use the instrument with as much ambient light as possible and also take adequate breaks and rest from use.

Changing the File Selection Display View
Basic Operations
The File Selection display actually has two different view types. One is Normal View, which we’ve seen up until this point. The other is List View, which lets you open files according to their numbers. Since the Tyros3 has many files spread out over several pages, number input in List View may be quicker and more conve­nient—providing you know the number of the file. Switch between the two types by pressing the [7 ] (VIEW) button.

Memorizing Song/Style paths
The File Selection display for Songs and Styles lets you memorize the path of specific Song/Style to one of the panel buttons. Even if your data is scattered across the drive in a complex hierarchy of folders and paths, you can instantly call up a specific file—no matter how deeply hidden—with a single button-press.
1 In the List View display, select the Song/Style to be memorized, then press the [E] (MEMORY) button.
A message appears prompting you to select one of the SONG/STYLE buttons to which the path is to be memorized.
2 Press one of the SONG [I]–[IV] buttons (for Songs) or one of the STYLE category selection buttons
other than [FILE ACCESS] button (for Styles). The path is memorized to the selected button.

path.
Basic Operations
To call up the memorized path for a Song, simply press the appropriate SONG button selected in step 2. To call up the memorized path for a Style, first turn on the [FILE ACCESS] button, then press the appro-
