• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use the specified adaptor (page 40) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• (YDP-164, YDP-S54) Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

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 multiple-connector. 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.
• (YDP-S54) Be sure to attach the anti-fall brackets to the instrument, to ensure stability. Failure to do so 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.
• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more people. Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• 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. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.
• (YDP-S54) Do not apply excessive force when closing the key cover. A key cover equipped with the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism closes the cover slowly. Applying excessive force to the key cover when closing it could damage the SOFT­CLOSE™ mechanism, and possibly result in injury to your hands and fingers caught under the closing key cover.
• 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 specified tool in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury.
• Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of the bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may result in accident or injury.
• 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.
The model number, serial number, power requirements, etc., may be found on or near the name plate, which is at the bottom of the unit.

WARNING
• Make sure to keep the plug attached to the AC adaptor. Using the plug alone can cause electric shock or fire.

2. Press the [P](Standby/On) switch to
turn the power on.
WARN ING
Use the specified adaptor (page 40) only. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument.

Remove the AC plug from the AC outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
NOTE
Follow this procedure in reverse order when disconnecting the AC adaptor.
For the Power Adaptor with a Removable Plug
Do not remove the plug from the power adaptor. If the plug is removed accidentally, slide the plug into place without touching the metallic parts, and then push the plug in completely until it clicks.

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 approximately 30 minutes.
Default setting: Enabled
Disabling Auto Power Off (simple method)
Turn off the power of the instrument once. While holding down the A-1 key (the lowest key), press the [P] (Standby/On) switch to turn the instrument on. The [REC] indicator flashes three times, indicating the Auto Power Off function has been disabled.
Switching the Auto Power Off Function (Enable/Disable)
While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the A#0 key to enable the Auto Power Off function or the A0 key to disable it.

Using Headphones

Since this instrument is equipped with two [PHONES] jacks, you can connect two sets of standard stereo headphones. If you are using only one set of headphones, insert a plug into either jack, which automatically shuts off the speakers according to the default setting.
CAUTION
Do not use headphones at a high volume for an extended period of time; doing so may cause hearing loss.
Speaker On/Off setting
You can set whether the sound of this instrument is always output from its built-in speaker or not. While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press one of the D6 – E6 key.
Off (D6 key)
On (D#6 key)
Normal (E6 key)
The speaker will not sound.
The speaker will always sound regardless of whether a set of headphones is connected or not.
The speaker will sound only if headphones are not connected. (This is the default setting.)
Reproducing a natural sense of distance (Stereophonic Optimizer)
The Stereophonic Optimizer gives you the feeling of playing an actual acoustic piano — even though you’re listening through headphones. Normally, the sound comes out from headphones sounds very close to your ears. However, this Stereophonic Optimizer effect recreates a natural distance or the sense of physical space between your ears and the instrument, just as when playing an acoustic piano.
Default setting: On
While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press the F#3 key to turn the function on or the F3 key to turn the function off.
