WICHTIG
—
Überprüfen Sie Ihren Netzanschluss —
For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.
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.
Pour obtenir des informations sur l'assemblage du support du clavier, reportez-vous aux instructions à la fin de ce manuel.
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 sélecteur 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.
Para información sobre el montaje del soporte del teclado, consulte las instrucciones al final de este manual.
IMPORTANTE — Verifique la alimentación de corriente
Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su area corresponde con la tension 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 tension 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.
Vergewissern Sie sich, dass die Spannung in Ihrem örtlichen Stromnetz mit der Spannung übereinstimmt, die auf dem Typenschild auf der Unterseite des
Instruments angegeben ist. In bestimmten Regionen ist auf der Unterseite des Keyboards in der Nähe des Netzkabels ein Spannungswähler angebracht.
Vergewissern Sie sich, dass der Spannungswähler auf die Spannung Ihres lokalen Stromnetzes eingestellt ist. Dieser Spannungswähler ist bei Auslieferung
auf 240 V eingestellt. Sie können die Einstellung mit einem Schlitzschraubenzieher ändern. Drehen Sie dazu den Wählschalter, bis der Pfeil auf dem
Instrument auf die richtige Span
nung zeigt.

[POWER]
Turning the Power On
1 Connect the power cord.
First insert the plug of the power cable into the [AC IN] jack on your instrument, then plug the other end of the cable into
the proper AC outlet on the wall. For an illustration of the location of the [AC IN] jack, see “Panel Controls and
Terminals” (page 8). In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall
ENGLISH
outlets in your area.
WARNING
• Make sure your instrument is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (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 [AC IN] jack. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your
area. 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 your instrument. 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!
• The type of AC power cord provided with your instrument may be different depending on the country in which it is purchased. Do NOT modify the plug provided with your instrument. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
2 Press the [ ] power switch to turn the power on.

Setting the Volume
When you start playing, use the [MASTER VOLUME] knob to adjust the volume of the entire keyboard sound.
ENGLISH
CAUTION
Do not use this instrument at a high volume level for a long period of time, or your hearing may be damaged.
Using the Pedals
Damper Pedal (Right)
Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing
this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained
notes. A “half-pedal” function of this pedal creates
partial sustain effects, depending on how far down you
press the pedal.
Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
Pressing this pedal while holding the notes will sustain
the pressed notes (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 the other notes are played “staccato.”
Soft Pedal (Left)
Pressing this pedal will reduce the volume and slightly change the timbre of the notes. The
notes played before this pedal is pressed are not affected.
NOTE
If the damper pedal doesn’t
work, make sure that the
pedal cord is properly
plugged into the main unit
(page 30).
Half-pedal function
This function allows you to
vary the sustain length
depending on how far the
pedal is pressed. The
farther down you press the
pedal, the more the sound
sustains. For example, if
you press the damper pedal
and all notes you are
playing sound a bit murky
and loud with too much
sustain, you can release the
pedal half way to decrease
the sustain (murkiness)
NOTE
While the sostenuto pedal is
held, the organ and strings
Voices sound continuously
without decay after the notes
have been released.
Using the Damper Resonance
When playing an actual grand piano, the strings resonate sympathetically, whether the damper pedal is pressed or not. The
Damper Resonance function recreates that effect.
Default setting:
While holding [PIANO/VOICE], press the G#2 key.
To turn off the Damper Resonance:
While holding [PIANO/VOICE], press the G2 key.
