PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions 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:
• 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.
• 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 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.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
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:
• 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.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• 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.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
• 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.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the inter­nal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.
• 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.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, 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 USER DATA
• Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.
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.

OUTPUT Jacks : L and R Pin jacks, L/L+R and R Phone Jacks
The P-80 is equipped with both Pin and Phone OUTPUT jacks to deliver the output of the P-80 for connection to an instrument ampli­fier, mixing console, PA system or recording equipment. The Pin connectors (L and R) provide easy connection to a home audio system, etc. The L/L+R Phone Jack allows connection of the P-80 to a monaural sound system. 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 P-80’s sound.
CAUTION
• Before connecting the P-80 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.
• When turning the power on, first turn the P-80's power on and then
turn the power on of the external amplifier/speaker system. When turning the power off, simply reverse the order.

5 SUSTAIN Jack
This terminal is for connecting the sustain pedal to the P-80. The pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano.
NOTE
• Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the pedal.
6 MIDI IN, and OUT Connectors
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as a MIDI sequencer) which can be used to control the P-80. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the P-80 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the P-80 keyboard).

Preset Song Part Cancel

The 50 preset songs have separate left- and right-hand parts that can be turned on and off as required so you can practice
the corresponding part on the keyboard. The right-hand part is played by TRACK [1], and the left-hand part is played by track [2]. (Some of the songs are arrangements for four-hands, tracks [1] and [2] correspond to primo and secondo parts of the arrangement.)

The Dual Mode

2
The dual mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across
the entire range of the keyboard.
To activate the dual mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the dual mode is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.
According to the voice numbering priority as shown in the diagram on the right, lower valued voice numbers will be desig­nated as the 1st Voice (the other voice will be designated as the 2nd Voice).
The [STRINGS] [VARIATION] voice has a slow attack. This voice can sometimes be used with another voice in the Dual Mode to produce a better “blend”.
NOTE
• The dual and split modes cannot be engaged at the same time.
• The [VARIATION] button indicator will light if the variation is engaged for either or both of the dual-mode voices. While the dual mode is engaged the [VARIATION] button can be used to turn the variation for both voices on or off. To use the variation for only one of the voices the setting must be made prior to engaging the dual mode.
[EFFECT] in the Dual Mode
• Depending upon the conditions one effect type will take priority over the other. Depth will be decided according to the depth default value of the voice combination. However, using function F3 (see page 28) you can change the depth value for each voice as you like.
Effect depth setting via the panel controls the [–/NO buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button — see page 18) will be applied to the 1st Voice only.
[REVERB] in the Dual Mode
The reverb type assigned to the 1st Voice will take priority over the other. (If the reverb is set to OFF, the 2nd Voice’s reverb type will be in affect.)
Reverb depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [–/
] or [+/YES▲] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button —
NO see page 17) will be applied to the 1st Voice only.
