IMPORTANT
Check your power supply
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.
WICHTIG
Überprüfung der Stromversorgung
Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem Anschließen an das Stromnetz, daß die
örtliche Netzspannung den Betriebsspannungswerten auf dem Typenschild
an der Unterseite des Instruments entspricht. In bestimmten
Verkaufsgebieten ist das Instrument mit einem Spannungswähler an der
Unterseite neben der Netzkabeldurchführung ausgestattet. Falls vorhanden,
muß der Spannungswähler auf die örtliche Netzspannung eingestellt
werden. Der Spannungswähler wurde werkseitig auf 240 V voreingestellt.
Zum Verstellen drehen Sie den Spannungsregler mit einem
Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der Zeiger auf den korrekten Spannungswert
weist.
IMPORTANT
Contrôler la source d'alimentation
Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau inférieur correspond à la
tension du secteur. Dans certaines régions, l'instrument peut être équipé
d'un sélecteur de tension situé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier à
proximité du cordon d'alimentation.
Vérifiez que ce selécteur est bien réglé en fonction de la tension secteur de
votre région. Le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur 240 V au départ d'usine.
Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le
sélecteur afin de mettre l'indication correspondant à la tension de votre
région vis à vis du repère triangulaire situé sur le panneau.
IMPORTANTE
Verifique la alimentación de corriente
Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su área corresponde
con la tensión especificada en la placa de características del panel inferior.
En algunas zonas puede haberse incorporado un selector de tensión en el
panel inferior de la unidad del teclado principal, cerca del cable de
alimentación. Asegúrese de que el selector de tensión esté ajustado a la
tensión de su área. El selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la unidad
sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el ajuste, emplee un destornillador de cabeza
"recta" para girar el selector de modo que aparezca la tensión correcta al
lado del indicador del panel.

●
●
Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/
one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.
1/2
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 or slightly damp
●
cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or
chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
Ta ke care that the key cover does not pinch your fingers, and do
●
not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or
instrument.
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the
●
gaps on the key cover, 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 instru-
●
ment, 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.
Using the bench (If included)
●
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 step-ladder 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.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
●
Depending upon the Backup Settings (page 44), internal data is
retained for about 1 week after the power is turned off. If the
period is exceeded, the data will be lost. Be sure to turn the
power switch on for a few minutes at least once a week. The
data could be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation.
Save important data to external media such as the Yamaha
MDF3 MIDI data filer.
Backing up the external media
To protect against data loss through media damage, we recom-
●
mend that you save your important data onto two external
media.

TIP
To learn characteristics of the
voices, listen to demo songs for
each voice (page 16). Refer to
“Preset Voice List” on page 56
for more information on the
characteristics of each preset
voice.
TERMINOLOGY
Voice:
On the YDP-223, a voice means
a “tone” or “tonal color.”
TIP
You can control the loudness of
a voice by adjusting the force
with which you strike the keys,
although different playing styles
(touch sensitivities) have little or
no effect with certain musical
instruments.
Refer to “Preset Voice List” on
page 56.
ENGLISH
The YDP-223 has three foot pedals that produce a range
of expressive effects similar to those produced by the
pedals on an acoustic piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper
pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal
immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you
play before you release the
pedal have a longer sustain.
YDP-223
NOTE
If the damper pedal doesn’t
work, make sure that the pedal
cord is properly plugged into the
main unit (page 54).
Selecting & Playing Voices
21
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the
sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes
will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the
damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently
played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible
to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are
played “staccato.”
When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding
the note, the note will sustain
as long as you hold the pedal.
Organ, string and choir voices
will continue to sound for as
long as the sostenuto pedal is
depressed.
TIP
Soft (Left) Pedal
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while
the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it
is pressed.
The left pedal can be assigned
to song start/stop operation via
the “Left Pedal Mode” described
on page 40.

[BRILLIANCE]
This control can be used to change the tonality or “timbre” of the sound output.
