GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI
standard which ensures that any GM-compatible
music data can be accurately played by any GM­compatible tone generator, regardless of manufac­turer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and
hardware products that support GM System
Level.

XGlite

As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simplified ver­sion of Yamaha’s high-quality XG tone genera­tion format. Naturally, you can play back any XG
song data using an XGlite tone generator. How­ever, keep in mind that some songs may play back
differently compared to the original data, due to
the reduced set of control parameters and effects.

USB

USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial
Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a
computer with peripheral devices. It allows
“hot swapping” (connecting peripheral
devices while the power to the computer is
on).

Power Requirements

Although the instrument will run either from an
optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recom­mends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An
AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than bat­teries and does not deplete resources.

Using an AC Power Adaptor

1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off

(display is blank, except for notation staff).

• Use the specified adaptor (page 38) only. Using the
wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.

2 Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack.
3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

• 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.

 Installing the batteries

1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off

(display is blank, except for notation staff).

2 Open the battery compartment cover located on the

instrument’s bottom panel.

3 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow

the polarity markings on the inside of the compart­ment.

4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it

locks firmly in place.

Using Batteries

This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline
(LR6)/Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni­MH batteries are recommended for this instrument,
since other types may result in poorer battery perfor­mance.

• When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that
came with the batteries. Use only the specified charger
device when charging.

PSR-E243/YPT-240 Owner’s Manual

10

• Connecting or disconnecting the power adaptor with bat­teries installed may turn the power off, resulting in loss of
data being recorded or transferred at the time.

When battery power becomes too low for proper oper­ation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be
distorted, and other problems may occur. When this
happens, make sure to replace all batteries with new
ones or already-recharged ones.

NOTE

• This instrument cannot charge the batteries. Use only the
specified charger device when charging.

• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an
AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the
instrument.

 Setting the battery type

NOTICE

Insert the music rest
into the slots as shown.

CAUTION

NOTICE

CAUTION

After installing new batteries and turning the power
on, make sure to set the Battery Type appropriately
(rechargeable or not) via Function number 025 (page

25).

Setting Up

• When the instrument’s sound is output to an external
device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to
the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the
power off.

• Failure to set the Battery Type may shorten the amount of
the battery life. Make sure to set the Battery Type correctly.

Using the music rest

Connecting Headphones or External Audio Equipment

Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4” stereo
phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient
monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off
when a plug is inserted into this jack.
The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an
external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUT­PUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system,
mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device
to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.

• 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.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic com­ponents, set all volume levels to the minimum, then turn
off the power for all components.

Connecting a Footswitch to the SUSTAIN jack

You can produce a natural sustain as you play by
pressing an optional Footswitch plugged into the
[SUSTAIN] jack.

NOTE

• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to
the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing
this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, result­ing in reversed footswitch operation.

Turning the Power On/Off

Turn down the [MASTER VOLUME] control to
“MIN” then press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch to
turn on the power. While playing the keyboard, adjust

Troubleshooting

Appendix

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping
sound is temporarily produced.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce inter-

Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers or head­phones when using the instrument with the application
on iPhone/iPad.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or
when a song or style is being played back.

Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does
not produce any sound.

Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems
to be cut off.

The Style or Song does not play back when the [START/
STOP] button is pressed.

The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the
[ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.

The Style does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 24 Function 001) is set to an appropri-

The Style does not sound as you play a chord. • The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords

The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the oppo­site effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off
the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds.

The sound of the voice changes from note to note. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings

• The volume is too soft.

• The sound quality is poor.

• The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play.

• The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play cor­rectly.

• The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel
settings are reset.

Power suddenly and unexpectedly turns off. This is normal and the Auto Power Off function may have been activated

This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power.

ference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from
the instrument.

When you use the instrument along with the application on your iPhone/iPad,
we recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your iPhone/iPad in
order to avoid noise caused by communication.

Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear
panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output.

Check the Local Control on/off setting. (See page 25 Function 015.)

When using the Dictionary function (page 19), the keys in the right hand area
are used only for entering the chord root and type.

The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If a style or Song
is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “sto­len”) from the accompaniment or Song.

Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to
“Function Settings” on page 25 (Function 016).

Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any Style­related function.

are played in sequence (e.g., some minor chords followed by the minor sev­enth).

• Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played
chord.

• Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompani­ment based only on the root.

The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is

Voice List

Maximum Polyphony

The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This
means that it can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once,
regardless of what functions are used. Auto accompaniment
uses a number of the available notes, so when auto
accompaniment is used the total number of available notes
for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The
same applies to the Song functions. If the maximum
polyphony is exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off
and the most recent notes have priority (last note priority).

LIMITED 1-YEAR WARRANTY ON

PORTABLE KEYBOARDS

(NP, NPV, PSRE, EZ, DGX230, DGX530, YPG AND YPT SERIES)

Thank you for selecting a Yamaha product. Yamaha products are designed and manufactured to provide a high level of defect-free
performance. Yamaha Corporation of America (“Yamaha”) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into each and every
Yamaha product. Yamaha sells its products through a network of reputable, specially authorized dealers and is pleased to offer you, the
Original Owner, the following Limited Warranty, which applies only to products that have been (1) directly purchased from Yamaha’s
authorized dealers in the fifty states of the USA and District of Columbia (the “Warranted Area”) and (2) used exclusively in the Warranted
Area. Yamaha suggests that you read the Limited Warranty thoroughly, and invites you to contact your authorized Yamaha dealer or
Yamaha Customer Service if you have any questions.

Coverage: Yamaha will, at its option, repair or replace the product covered by this warranty if it becomes defective, malfunctions or

otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without charge for labor or
materials. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed Yamaha specifications for new parts. If
Yamaha elects to replace the product, the replacement may be a reconditioned unit. You will be responsible for any installation or
removal charges and for any initial shipping charges if the product(s) must be shipped for warranty service. However, Yamaha will pay
the return shipping charges to any destination within the USA if the repairs are covered by the warranty. This warranty does not cover (a)
damage, deterioration or malfunction resulting from accident, negligence, misuse, abuse, improper installation or operation or failure to
follow instructions according to the Owner’s Manual for this product; any shipment of the product (claims must be presented to the
carrier); repair or attempted repair by anyone other than Yamaha or an authorized Yamaha Service Center; (b) any unit which has been
altered or on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or removed; (c) normal wear and any periodic maintenance; (d)
deterioration due to perspiration, corrosive atmosphere or other external causes such as extremes in temperature or humidity; (e)
damages attributable to power line surge or related electrical abnormalities, lightning damage or acts of God; or (f) RFI/EMI (Interference/
noise) caused by improper grounding or the improper use of either certified or uncertified equipment, if applicable. Any evidence of
alteration, erasing or forgery of proof-of-purchase documents will cause this warranty to be void. This warranty covers only the Original
Owner and is not transferable.

In Order to Obtain Warranty Service: Warranty service will only be provided for defective products within the Warranted

Area. Contact your local authorized Yamaha dealer who will advise you of the procedures to be followed. If this is not successful, contact
Yamaha at the address, telephone number or website shown below. Yamaha may request that you send the defective product to a local
authorized Yamaha Servicer or authorize return of the defective product to Yamaha for repair. If you are uncertain as to whether a dealer
has been authorized by Yamaha, please contact Yamaha’s Service Department at the number shown below, or check Yamaha’s website

document describing the product, as evidence of warranty coverage. Should any product submitted for warranty service be found
ineligible therefore, an estimate of repair cost will be furnished and the repair will be accomplished only if requested by you and upon
receipt of payment or acceptable arrangement for payment.

WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE

EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to
state. This is the only express warranty applicable to the product specified herein; Yamaha neither assumes nor authorizes anyone to
assume for it any other express warranty.
