Owner's Manual
For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.
IMPORTANT — Check your power supply — (YDP-161)
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom
panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the
power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at
240V when the unit is initially shipped.
To change the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears
next to the pointer on the panel.

Handling caution
Using the bench (If included)
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:
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause
overheating in the outlet.
• 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.
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly
process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might
result in damage to the instrument or even injury.
• 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.
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
Also take care that the key cover does not pinch your finger.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the
key cover, 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 place the bench in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or
stepladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten
them periodically using the included tool.
ENGLISH
• 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.
• 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.
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.
YDP-141
Even when the power switch is in the “Standby” position, 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.

Features
■ AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
The Yamaha YDP-161/141 digital piano offers a rich and versatile range of sounds, which are created using
Yamaha’s proprietary sampling tone-generation system, “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling.”
The AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system which creates sound close to that of an acoustic
instrument by using digital technology to record the instrument sound and applying high-quality digital filter
technology to the recorded audio samples.
The waveform of the sound created by playing the key of an acoustic piano differs depending on the playing
strength from pianissimo to fortissimo. The AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can produce such dynamic nuances
by recording samples of various playing strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the higher the
expressive quality and potential becomes.
■ GH (Graded Hammer) keyboard and GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard
A special Graded Hammer keyboard on the YDP-161, and Graded Hammer Standard keyboard on the YDP141, feature graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range. They respond to a heavier touch
in the low range of the keyboard and a lighter touch in the higher range of the keyboard, thus providing natural
grand-piano type playability.
The Graded Hammer keyboard also offers superb playability for tremolo and other repetitive-striking
techniques.
■ Useful function for practicing
Your digital piano features a Part Cancel Function. You can record your left-hand and right-hand parts, and then
play them separately; left- and right-hand part. You can also practice a one-hand part while playing the otherhand part from one of the 50 preset songs.
A built-in metronome is a convenient practice tool to help you develop accurate timing

WARNING (YDP-161)
• Make sure your digital piano is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which the piano will be used. (The voltage
rating appears on the name plate on the bottom panel). In some areas, a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom
panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your
area. Connecting the unit to an inappropriate AC supply can seriously damage the internal circuitry and may even pose
a shock hazard!
• Use only the AC power cord supplied with the instrument. If the supplied power 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!
• The type of AC power cord provided with the instrument may be different depending on the country in which the
instrument was purchased. (In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall
outlets in your area.) Do NOT modify the plug provided with the instrument. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING (YDP-141)
• Be sure to use an appropriate AC outlet.
• Be sure to use a specified power adaptor. Using a different power adaptor may cause malfunction, overheating, or fire.
CAUTION (YDP-161/141)
• A small amount of electrical current remains even after the [ ] switch has been turned off.
• If you plan not to use the instrument for an extended period of time, or if there is a possibility of lightning, be sure to
unplug the instrument from the AC outlet.
