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/AC power adaptor
• 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 (PA-5C, PA-5D or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
• Do not place the AC adaptor 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.
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.
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.
• 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.
If you notice any abnormality
• If the AC adaptor 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 adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
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:
Power supply/AC power adaptor Location
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
• 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.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
(3)-7
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 cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the 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 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.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
• 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 floppy disk
• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks.
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.
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 AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Setting Up

Power supply connections

Using An AC Power Adaptor ..............................................................
ZMake sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of the YPP-200 is set to
STANDBY.
XConnect the AC adaptor (PA-5C, PA-5D or other adaptor specifi-
cally recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.
CPlug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor) during any YPP-200 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
PA-5C
CAUTION
Stereo System
WARNING
Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5C or PA-5D AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the YPP-200.
Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the YPP-200, or during electrical storms.
Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor will reset the YPP-200 to the defaults.

Accessory Jacks

Before connecting the YPP-200 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.
Using the OUTPUT R and L/L+R Jacks ..................................
The OUTPUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the YPP-200 for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the YPP-200 to a monaural sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the left- and right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the YPP-200’s sound.
10
YPP-200
CAUTION
When the YPP-200s OUTPUT jacks are connected to an external sound system,
first turn the YPP-200 power on, and then the power to the external amplifier/ speaker system. Reverse this order when turning the power off.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Sequenser
Setting Up
Using the MIDI IN and OUT Connectors ................................
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control the YPP-200. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the YPP-200 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the YPP-200 keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI Functions” on page 30.
Using the Damper Pedal (connect a footswitch to the DAMPER Jack)
A footswitch connected to the DAMPER jack will basically function in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the footswitch is pressed, notes played will have a long sustain. Releasing the footswitch immediately stops (dampens) any sustained notes.
• Be sure that you do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed.
• If the Damper function doesn’t work, or notes are sustained even when the footswitch is not pressed, make sure that the pedal is properly plugged into the DAMPER Jack.
..................
Using the Soft Pedal (connect a footswitch to the SOFT Jack)
A footswitch connected to the SOFT jack reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the footswitch is pressed. The soft pedal function will not affect notes that are already sustaining when the footswitch is pressed.
This footswitch can also be assigned to function as a start/stop switch with the “Soft Pedal Mode” described on page 29.
............................
Using the PHONES Jacks......................................................................
Two sets of standard stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of the PHONES jacks.

Music Stand

The YPP-200 is supplied with a music stand that can be attached to the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control panel.

Selecting & Playing Voices

Turn Power On ...................................................................................................
With the AC power adaptor connected, simply press the [STANDBY/ON] switch until it locks in the ON position. When the instrument is not in use, be sure to turn the power off. (Press the switch again so that it pops up.)
CAUTION
Even when the switch is in the "STANDBY" position, electricity is still flowing to
the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the YPP-200 for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
Set the Volume ...................................................................................................
Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] control about half way between the “MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable listening level.
Select a Voice ......................................................................................................
Select the desired voice by pressing one of the voice selectors.
• See “Voice Descriptions” on page 38.
Play.................................................................................................................................
The YPP-200 also offers keyboard touch response, so the volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends on the selected voice.
• Some voices do not have keyboard touch response. See “Voice Descrip­tions” on page 38 for details.
