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-3C or PA-3B 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
• 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.
Battery
• 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.
4
• 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.
Location
• 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 in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
(4)-8

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
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
• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• 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
• Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to external media such as the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI data filer.
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.
When using a power adaptor, 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.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Yamaha PSR-292 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-292 in order to
take full advantage of its various features.

Main Features

The PSR-292 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use keyboard with the following features and functions:
Stereo Sampled Piano .......................................................................... page 20
The PSR-292 has a special Portable Grand Piano Voice — created by state-of-the-art stereo sampling technol­ogy and using Yamaha’s sophiscated AWM (Advanced Wave memory) tone generation system.
Touch Response.................................................................................... page 30
The exceptionally natural Touch Response feature, with a convenient front panel on/off switch, gives you maxi­mum expressive level control over the voices. It also works in conjunction with the Dynamic Filter, which dynamically adjusts the timbre or tone of a voice according to your playing strength — just a like a real musical instrument!
Yamaha Education Suite......................................................... pages 43, 45, 61
The PSR-292 features the new Yamaha Education Suite — a set of learning tools that utilize the latest technol­ogy to make studying and practicing music more fun and fulfilling than ever before!
One Touch Setting................................................................................. page 28
The One Touch Setting feature lets you automatically call up an appropriate voice for playing with the selected style. Each style has memory space for two One Touch Settings, and you can change them to your own desired voice setting — letting you save your custom panel settings for instant recall.
Powerful Speaker System
The built-in stereo amplifier/speaker system of the PSR-292 — with a special Bass Boost feature — provides exceptionally powerful, high-quality sound, letting you hear the full dynamic range of the PSR-292’s authentic voices.
Music Database ..................................................................................... page 48
The PSR-292 has an advanced, easy-to-use Music Database feature that automatically selects the style, voice, and effect settings for playing in a specific type of music. This can be a big help if you know what genre of music you want to play, but you don’t know what settings to make. Just select the genre, and the PSR-292 takes care of the rest!
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 GM-compatible 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.

Setting Up

-
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-292 for playing. Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.
Power Requirements
Although the PSR-292 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.
• Never interrupt the power sup­ply (e.g. remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) dur­ing any PSR-292 record opera­tion! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
• Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!” message is shown in the dis­play. Doing so can damage the internal flash memory and result in loss of data.
Using an AC Power Adaptor • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
q Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the PSR-292 is set to
STANDBY.
w Connect the AC adaptor (PA-3C, PA-3B, or other adaptor specifically recom-
mended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.
e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
we
Using Batteries • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
For battery operation the PSR-292 requires six 1.5V “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When the batteries need to be replaced, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries, as described below
q Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel. w Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on
the inside of the compartment.
e Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
• 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-292.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-292, or during electrical storms.
• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new bat­teries.
• Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.
• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.
10
Turning On the Power
• 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-292 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.
• Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!” message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the internal flash memory and result in loss of data.
-
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.)
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 built-in 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-292 is equipped with a built-in speaker system, you can also play it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the PSR-292 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-292.
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.
Using the MIDI Terminals • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
The PSR-292 also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the PSR-292 with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more infor­mation, see page 67.)
Stereo System
MIDI
instrument
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.
