Manual de instrucciones
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.
Weitere Informationen über die Montage des Keyboard-Ständers erhalten Sie in den Anweisungen am Ende dieses Handbuchs.
WICHTIG — Überprüfen Sie Ihren Netzanschluss —
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 Spannung zeigt.
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.

PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/Power cord
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage
is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and
do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on
it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything
over it.
Water warning
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into
any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the
power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
Do not open
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
If you notice any abnormality
• If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden
loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke
should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected

wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any
water off immediately with a soft cloth.
Handling caution
•Take 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 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

Special Features
GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard
with matte black keytops
Graded Hammer Standard keyboard with matte black keytops on the instrument, 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 grandpiano type playability. The matte finish of the black keys enhances keyboard’s luxurious appearance.
The Graded Hammer keyboard also offers superb playability for tremolo and other repetitive-striking
techniques.
■ Performance assistant technology Page 39
Play along with a song on the instrument’s keyboard and produce a perfect
performance every time ... even if you play wrong notes! All you have to do
is play on the keyboard—alternately on the left- and right-hand ranges of the
keyboard, for example—and you’ll sound like a pro as long as you play in
time with the music.
And if you can’t play with both hands, you can still play the melody simply
by tapping one key.
All you need is
one finger!
■ Play a Variety of Instrument Voices Page 17
The instrument voice that sounds when you play the keyboard can be
changed to violin, flute, harp, or any of an extensive range of voices. You can
change the mood of a song written for piano, for example, by using violin to
play it instead. Experience a whole new world of musical variety.

Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles.
The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band covering wide variety of styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance … and
much more. Select a style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new styles to expand your musical horizons.
■ Easy Performance with Music Notation Display Page 37

pedal with a compound designed for piano pedals.
Before using the compound, make sure to read the
instructions for proper usage.
CAUTION
• Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemicalimpregnated wiping cloths. Otherwise, the pedal may become discolored or degraded.

Using the Pedals
Try Playing a Variety of Instrument Voices
The instrument 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.
The damper pedal also features a naturally expressive half-pedal function.
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you play
before you release the pedal
have a longer sustain.
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.”
NOTE
• The pedal functions do not
affect Split voice.
NOTE
• If the damper pedal doesn’t
work, make sure that the pedal
cord is properly plugged into the
jack (page 116).
NOTE
Half-pedal:
• While playing the piano with
Sustain and you want to slightly
mute the sustained sound,
release the damper pedal from
maximum position to half position.
NOTE
• Organ, string and choir voices
will continue to sound for as
long as the sostenuto pedal is
depressed.
When you press the sostenuto
pedal here while holding the
note, the note will sustain as
long as you hold the pedal.
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.

Fun Sounds
This instrument includes a range of drum kits and unique sound effects you can
use for entertainment. Laughter, babbling brooks, jet fly-bys, eerie effects, and
much more. These sounds can be a great way to enhance the mood at parties.
Drum Kits
Drum kits are collections of drum and percussion instruments. When you select a violin or other
normal instrument main voice, for example, all keys produce the sound of the same violin, only at
different pitches. If you select a drum kit as the main voice, however, each key produces the sound
of a different drum or percussion instrument.
◆ Drum Kit Selection Procedure ➔ (refer to steps 1 and 2 on page 17)
1 Press the [VOICE] button.
2 Use the dial to select “132 Standard Kit 1”.

comprehensive variety of drum and percussion
sounds. For details on the instruments included
in the drum kit voices (voice numbers 132 to
143), see the “Drum Kit List” on page 132.
Sound Effects
The sound effects are included in the drum kit voice group (voice numbers 142 and 143). When
either of these voices are selected you will be able to play a range of sound effects on the keyboard.
◆ Sound Effect Selection Procedure ➔ (refer to steps 1 and 2 on page 17)
1 Press the [VOICE] button.
2 Use the dial to select “143 SFX Kit 2”.
3 Tr y out each key and enjoy the sound effects!
As you try out the various keys you’ll hear the sound of a
submarine, a telephone bell, a creaking door, and many
other useful effects. “142 SFX Kit 1” includes lightning,
running water, dogs barking, and others. Some keys do
not have assigned sound effects, and will therefore produce no sound.

Playing Styles
Styles Are More Fun When You Understand Chords
Chords, created by playing multiple notes at the same time, are the basis for harmonic accompaniment.
In this section we’ll take a look at sequences of different chords played one after another, or “chord
sequences.” Since each chord has it’s own unique “color”—even if it’s different fingerings of the same
chord—the chords you choose to use in your chord progressions have a huge influence on the overall
feel of the music you play.
On page 27 you learned how to play colorful accompaniments using styles. Chord progressions are vital
to creating interesting accompaniments, and with a little chord know-how you should be able to take
your accompaniments to a new level.
On these pages we’ll introduce three easy-to-use chord progressions. Be sure to try them out with the
instrument’s accompaniment styles. The style will respond to the chord progression you play, effectively
creating a complete song.
