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 operate the instrument 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.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
• RAM data (see page 65) is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument.
Save the data to the User, Floppy Disk or optional Hard Disk drives. Saved data
may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a
floppy disk or optional hard disk.
• When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that page,
System Setup data (listed in the Parameter Chart of the separate Data List
booklet) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off
the power without properly exiting from the relevant display.
Backing up the floppy disk
• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you
save your important data onto two floppy disks.
Caution for data operations
Make sure NEVER to turn the TYROS’ power off during any kind of data operation involving the USER/FD/HD drives — such as saving, deleting, or copying/pasting —
until the operation is completely finished. (Make sure to wait until the alert message shown below disappears.) Turning the power off during the operation results in the
loss of the data being saved or pasted to the respective drive.
Keeping the power on during such operations is particularly important in regard to the USER drive. Turning off the power while performing a save/delete/paste operation
with the USER drive may result in loss of ALL data on the USER drive (upon the next power on) — and not just the data in question. In other words, if you are performing
a save/delete/paste operation on only the song data of the USER drive and you turn off the power before the operation is completed, you risk losing ALL your USER drive
data — including all voices, styles, Multi Pad banks and Registration Memory presets you’ve saved to the USER drive.
This caution also applies to creating a new folder on the USER drive or using the factory reset operation (page 159).
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or
destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk
Precautions
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with
care. Follow the important precautions below.
Compatible Disk Type
3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks
To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:
• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward
and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk
slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it
all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button
pops out.
• When the TYROS is turned on, the LED below the floppy disk
slot will be lit indicating that the Disk Drive is ready to use.
To eject a floppy disk:
• Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the FDD is
stopped (check if the LED below the floppy disk slot is off).
Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk
will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected,
carefully remove it by hand.
DISK IN USE
This lamp lights during disk read/
write operations, such as when a
disk has been inserted, during
recording, playback, formatting, etc.
Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head
Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument
employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of
magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors.
To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order
Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about
once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive.
Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or
floppy disks.
About the Floppy Disks
To handle floppy disks with care:
• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply
pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks
in their protective cases when they are not in use.
• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or
low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.
• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside.
• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those
produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since
magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on
the disk, rendering it unreadable.
• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a
floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the
proper location.
To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):
• To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the
disk's write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).
This lamp is always on when the power
is on, regardless of the disk operation.
• Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during recording, reading and playing back. Doing so can
damage the disk and possibly the disk drive.
• If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not
pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed
position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only
a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out
the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation
can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk.
To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject
button once again, or push the disk back into the slot and
then repeat the eject procedure.
• Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive
before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive
for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that
can cause data read and write errors.
Write protect tab ON
(locked or write protected)
Write protect tab OFF
(unlocked or write
enabled)
Data backup
• For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you
keep two copies of important data on separate floppy
disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk Copy function
on page157.

Panel logos
GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is a standard specification that defines the arrangement of voices in a tone
generator and its MIDI functionality, ensuring that data can be played back with substantially the
same sounds on any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of its manufacturer or model. Tone
generators and song data that meet the “GM System Level 1” bear this GM logo.
GM System Level 2
“GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM System Level 1”
and improves song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater voice selection,
expanded voice parameters, and integrated effect processing. Tone generators and song data that
meet the “GM System Level 2” specifications bear this GM2 logo.
XG
“XG” is a tone generator format that expands the voice arrangement of the “GM System Level 1”
specification to meet the ever-increasing demands of today’s computer peripheral environment,
providing richer expressive power while maintaining upward compatibility of data. “XG” greatly
expands “GM System Level 1” by defining the ways in which voices are expanded or edited and
the structure and type of effects. When commercially available song data bearing the XG logo is
played back on a tone generator which bears the XG logo, you will enjoy a full musical experience
that includes unlimited expansion voices and effect functions.
XF
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality
and open-ended expandability for the future. The TYROS is capable of displaying lyrics when an
XF file containing lyric data is played.
Vocal Harmony
Vocal Harmony employs state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology to automatically add
appropriate vocal harmony or harmonies to a lead vocal line sung by the user. Vocal Harmony can
even change the character and gender of the lead voice as well as the added voices to produce a
wide range of vocal harmony effects.
DOC
The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback compatibility with a wide range of
Yamaha instruments and MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series.
Style File Format
The Style File Format —SFF— is Yamaha’s original style file format which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord
types. The TYROS uses the SFF internally, reads optional SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles
using the Style Creator function.

Panel Controls and Terminals
■ Rear Panel & Connections
• Since the TYROS has no built-in
speakers, you need to monitor its
sound output via external audio
equipment. Alternatively, you could
use a pair of headphones.
For installing an optional
set of speakers.
See page 20.
TO RIGHT SPEAKER
• Make sure that the POWER switch is in the OFF (extended)
position before making any connections. If you make connections while the POWER switch is on, you risk damaging
external equipment such as the amp or speakers.

The sophisticated MIDI functions give
you powerful tools to expand your music
performance and creation possibilities.

• The TYROS’ default setting for
the external television/video
monitor signal is “PAL.” Depending on your particular locale, the
standard may be different and
the setting should be changed
accordingly. (For example, NTSC
is generally used in North America.) Check the standard used by
your television or video monitor,
and if it is not PAL, change the
setting in the VIDEO OUT display
to “NTSC” (page 151).
You can connect the TYROS to a

The TYROS includes a microphone/line input jack
into which just about any standard microphone or
line-level source with a 1/4" phone plug can be
plugged (a dynamic microphone with an impedance
of 250 ohms is recommended). The microphone or
line input can be used with the TYROS’ vocal harmony function.
See pages 46, 130.
The LOOP SEND jacks deliver the output of the TYROS for connection to
external signal processing devices, such as distortion or filter effects. The
output from the signal processor can be returned to the AUX IN/LOOP
RETURN jacks — letting you apply the desired effect(s) to the overall sound
of the TYROS and return the processed sound back to the TYROS.
The LINE OUT jacks are used to send the TYROS output to a keyboard
Stereo System
amplifier, stereo sound system, mixing console, or tape recorder. If you are
connecting the TYROS to a mono sound system, use only the L/L+R jack.
When only this jack is connected (using a standard phone plug), the left and
right channels are combined and output through this jack — allowing you
have a mono mix of the TYROS’ stereo sound.

TYROS Owner’s Manual

Starting Up
This section contains information about setting up your TYROS 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 TYROS is set
to OFF.
2 Connect the supplied power cord to the AC INLET terminal
on the instrument’s rear panel.
• Make sure your TYROS is rated for the AC
voltage supplied in the area in which it is to
be used (as listed on the rear panel). Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can
cause serious damage to the internal circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard!
• Use only the AC power cord supplied with
the TYROS. 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!
3 Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC outlet.
Make sure your TYROS meets the voltage requirement for
the country or region in which it is being used.
• The type of AC power cord provided with the
TYROS 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
TYROS. 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.
Optional Speaker
Since the TYROS has no built-in speakers, you’ll need to use an external speaker system — such
as the optional TRS-MS01, which is designed specifically for the TYROS. For instructions on
installing the TRS-MS01 to the TYROS, see page 160.

Raising and Closing the Display Panel
The TYROS features a semi-detachable display panel that can be tilted and adjusted — with four different latch points
— to the most convenient viewing angle.
■ 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 it back; these clicks are the four latched positions. Once
you’ve reached a satisfactory position, release the panel. It will gently fall back to the
nearest latched position.
■ Closing the Display Panel........................................................................
To return 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.

Playing the Demos
The Demos are more than just songs — they also provide helpful, easy-to-understand introductions to the features, functions and
operations of the TYROS. In a way, the Demos are an interactive “mini-manual” complete with sound demonstrations and text
explaining how to use the instrument and showing what it can do for you.
The TYROS can display text in any one of several languages. Text is used for the Demos (below), Help (page 61), and the Display
Messages (page 62). Before playing the Demo, select the desired language by following the instructions below.
