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.
• 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
time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage
of the battery fluid.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery
fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may
possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.
• 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

Setting Up
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-282 for playing. Make sure to
read this section carefully before using the instrument.
Power Requirements
Although the PSR-282 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-282 to a wall socket, you will need the optionally available
Yamaha 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. Connect one end of the
adaptor to the DC IN 10-12V jack on the rear panel of your PSR-282, and the
other end to a suitable electrical outlet.
Using Batteries • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Inserting Batteries
Turn the instrument upside-do wn and remove the battery compartment lid. Insert
six 1.5-volt size “D” (SUM-1, R-20 or equivalent) batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned,
and replace the lid.
BATTERIES 1.5V x 6
• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries
or unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-282 record operation! Doing so can result in a
loss of data.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha 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 adaptor and the PSR-
282.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor
when not using the PSR-282,
or during electrical storms.
• 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.
When the Batteries Run Down
When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops belo w a certain le vel, the
PSR-282 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
With the AC power adaptor connected or with batteries installed, simply press the
power 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.)
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-282 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
-
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-282 is equipped with a built-in speaker system, you can also play
it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the PSR-282 and
any external devices are turned of f, 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-282.
Stereo System
Using a Footswitch• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain
the sound of the voices. The footswitch functions 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-282 also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the PSR282 with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information, see page
67.)

Playing Voices
The PSR-282 features a total of 256 authentic voices — all of which have been created with
Yamaha’s sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system. These
include 128 General MIDI voices, plus special Split voices, DJ voices and drum kits.
The voices are divided into various instrument categories, and many of the voice names are printed on the panel
for convenience. For a complete list of available voices, see page 77.
Special Split voices (#099 - #108) feature two different voices that you can play from separate sections of the
keyboard — for example, playing a bass voice with your left hand and a piano voice with your right.
A special set of DJ voices (#109 - #118) provides dynamic, exciting voices for playing man y of today’s popular
music styles.
The Voice mode also features special effect sections that let you enhance the sound of the voice. These include
Reverb and Harmony, as well as a “DSP” section that provides miscellaneous effects, such as tremolo, echo,
delay, equalization, and wah. (See page 29.)
There’s also a Touch Sensitivity control (page 28), which determines how the voices respond to your playing
technique.
The PSR-282 also includes special Drum Kit voices — #119 - #128 — that let you play various drum and percussion sounds from the keyboard. (Refer to the Drum Kit Voice chart on page 82.)
When a voice is selected, the most suitable DSP Type (page 30) and Harmony Type (page 31) for the voice are
automatically called up.

About Panel Voices and GM Voices
Keep in mind that the PSR-282 has two separate sets of voices: 128 Panel voices and 128
GM (General MIDI) Voices. The GM Voices can also be used for optimum playback of
GM-compatible song data. This means that any GM song data (played from a sequencer or
other MIDI device) will sound just as the composer or programmer intended.
