PRECAUTIONS
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper
use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
* The illustrations and LCD screens as shown in this owner’s manual
are for instructional purposes only, and may be different from the
ones on your instrument.
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.
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.
• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries
together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause
overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long

Congratulations on your purchase of the Yamaha PSR-202 PortaTone!
You now own a portable keyboard that combines advanced functions, great sound
and exceptional ease-of-use in a highly compact package. Its outstanding features
also make it a remarkably expressive and versatile instrument.
Read this Owner’s Manual carefully while playing your new PSR-202 in order to
take full advantage of its various features.
Main Features
The PSR-202 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use keyboard with the following features and functions:
■ LATIN ............................. page 22

Setting Up
-
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-202 for playing. Make sure to
read this section carefully before using the instrument.
Power Requirements
Although the PSR-202 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 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
To connect your PSR-202 to a wall socket, you will need the optionally available
Yamaha PA-3C or PA-3B Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could result
in damage to the instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind.
Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the PSR-202 is set to STANDBY.
Connect one end of the adaptor to the DC IN 12V jack on the rear panel of your
PSR-202, and the other end to a suitable electrical outlet.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3C or
PA-3B 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 adap
tor and the PSR-202.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor
when not using the PSR-202,
or during electrical storms.
■ Using Batteries • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
● Inserting Batteries
Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery compartment lid. Insert
six 1.5-volt “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned,
and replace the lid.
● When the Batteries Run Down
When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the
PSR-202 may not sound or function properly. As soon as this happens, replace
them with a complete set of six new batteries.
Turning On the Power
• Never mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline and
manganese).
• To prevent possible damage
from battery leakage, remove
the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for a
long time.
With the AC power adaptor connected or with batteries installed, simply move the
STANDBY switch until it is set to the ON position. When the instrument is not in
use, be sure to turn the power off.
8
• 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
PSR-202 for a long time, make
sure you unplug the AC power
adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries
from the instrument.

Accessory Jacks
-
MIDI
instrument
■ Using Headphones• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack. Sound from the builtin speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into
this jack.
Setting Up
■ Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo System • • • • • • •
Though the PSR-202 is equipped with a built-in speaker system, you can also play
it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the PSR-202 and
any external devices are turned off, then connect one end of a stereo audio cable to
the LINE IN or AUX IN jack(s) of the other device and the other end to the rear
panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the PSR-202.
■ Using a Sustain Footswitch • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain
the sound of the keyboard voice. This is used in the same way as a damper pedal
on an acoustic piano — press and hold down the footswitch as you play the keyboard to sustain the sound.
• To prevent damage to the
speakers, set the volume of the
external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe
these cautions may result in
electric shock or equipment
damage. Also, be sure to set
the volumes of all devices at
their minimum levels and grad
ually raise the volume controls
while playing the instrument to
set the desired listening level.
• 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.
■ Using the MIDI Terminals • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
The PSR-202 also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the PSR202 with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information, see page
52.)

playback of the song.
Lesson 3 — Minus One . . . . .This lesson step plays back the song with one part muted — letting you play and master the
missing part yourself.
Lesson 4 — Both Hands . . . . .This lesson step is the same as “Minus One,” except in that both the left- and right-hand
parts are muted — letting you play and master both hands.

unimportant. The PSR-202 checks your timing and how
rhythmically “tight” your playing is.

Lesson 2 — Waiting
In Lesson 2, you practice playing the notes correctly as
they appear in the display notation. The accompaniment
pauses and waits for you to play the notes correctly before
it continues.

Grade
The PSR-202 has a built-in evaluation function that monitors your practicing and — like a real teacher — tells you
how well you did each exercise. Four grades are assigned,
depending on your performance: “OK,” “Good,” “Very
Good!,” and “Excellent!.”
Want to find out more? See page 39.
Talking
This feature “talks” to you through the speakers,
“announcing” the Grade comments as well as the titles of
the Lesson steps.
Want to find out more? See page 40.
Changing the Tempo
Naturally, you can change the tempo (speed) of the song
to your liking, letting you slow down difficult passages
and bring up the tempo gradually until you master them at
normal speed.
Want to find out more? See page 37.
Lesson 3 — Minus One
In Lesson 3, one of the parts is muted, and you practice
the missing part in time with the rhythm.
