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-5, PA-5B, PA-5C 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.
• 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.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• 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.
• 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 or plastic 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.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand,
use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the
internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
• 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
MDF2, 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.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

To make operation as easy and as efficient as possible, the PSR-330 features a
number of “shortcuts” which allow you to jump directly to certain functions without
having to use the MENU and SUB MENU buttons. All of these shortcuts work in the
same way: press and hold a panel button for a few seconds to go to the related function.
For example, if you press and hold the [REVERB] button for a few seconds, you will
go directly to the REVERB type selection function. The shortcut buttons and the
functions they access are listed on the PSR-330 panel, near the upper left corner of the
display . The shorcuts will also be described where appropriate throughout this manual.

Setting Up
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-330 and preparing to play. Be
sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-330.
Power Supply
Although the PSR-330 will run either from an optional A C adaptor or batteries,
Y amaha recommends use of the more enviromentally safe AC adaptor . Follow the
instructions below according to the power source you intend to use.
■ Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor
z Plug an optional Yamaha PA-5, PA-5B, or PA-5C Power Adaptor into a wall
AC outlet.
x Then plug the DC output cable from the PA-5, PA-5B, or P A-5C into the DC
IN 10-12V jack on the rear panel of the PSR-330. The internal batteries are
automatically disconnected when an AC Power Adaptor is used.
DC IN 10-12V
PA-5,
PA-5B,
or
PA- 5C
When turning the power OFF, simply r everse the procedure.
• Never interrupt the power
supply (e.g. remove the
batteries or unplug the
AC adaptor) during any
PSR-330 record operation! Doing so can result
in a loss of data.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA5, PA-5B, or PA-5C 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-330.
• Unplug the AC Power
Adaptor when not using
the PSR-330, or during
electrical storms.
■ Using Batteries
For battery operation the PSR-330 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R-20 or
equivalent batteries.
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.
Replace the batteries as follows:
z Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’ s bottom panel.
x Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on
the inside of the compartment.
c Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
10
• 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.
Connections
■ The PHONES Jack
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or
late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when
a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack.
Setting Up
■ SUSTAIN Jack
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch can be plugged into the rear-panel
SUSTAIN jack for sustain control. The footswitch functions like the damper pedal on
a piano — press for sustain, release for normal sound.
SUSTAIN
■ 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 PSR-330. The MIDI OUT
connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-330 (e.g. note and velocity data
produced by playing the keyboard). More details on MIDI are provided on page 66.
• Be sure that you do
not press the footswitch while turning
the power on. If you
do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch
will be reversed.

The PSR-330 Voices
The PSR-330 actually includes two voice sets: the “panel” voices and drum kits
(listed on the PSR-330 panel), and the GM (General MIDI) voices. The panel voices
include 126 “pitched” voices (voice numbers 1 through 126) and 10 drum kits
(numbers 127 through 136), while the GM voice set includes 128 pitched voices
(voice numbers 137 through 264).

■ A Word About the “R1”, “R2”, and “L” Voices
The PSR-330 allows up to three voices to be selected at the same time: “R1” (Righthand 1), “R2”, (Right-hand 2) and “L” (Left-hand). Only the “R1” voice is used when
you’re playing a single voice o ver the entire range of the keyboard. When you’ re using
the DUAL VOICE and/or SPLIT VOICE modes (decribed on pages 17 and 18),
however , the “R2” and/or “L” voice will be used as well. The numbers of the currently
selected R1, R2, and L voices are all shown on the display panel.

above “TEMPO” in the display in quarter-note beats per minute. If the accompaniment is playing and the One T ouch Setting function is off (page 32), the same tempo
is maintained even if you select a different style.
• If AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT is off, only
rhythm (drums and
percussion) accompaniment will be produced.
You can change the tempo to any value between 32 and 280 beats per minute,
however, by using the TEMPO [ ▼] and [▲ ] buttons. Press either button briefly to
decrement or increment the tempo value by one, or hold the button for continuous
decrementing or incrementing.
TEMPO
When either of the TEMPO buttons is pressed the cur rent tempo value will appear
on the top line of the display for a few seconds — during this time the number or
[–] and [+] buttons can also be used to set the tempo. The default tempo for the selected
style can be recalled at any time by pressing both the TEMPO [▼] and [ ▲] buttons
simultaneously (or by pressing the [–] and [+] buttons simultaneously while the tempo
value is showing on the top line of the display).

As soon as you play any chord that the PSR-330 can “recognize” on the lefthand section of the keyboard, the PSR-330 will automatically begin to play the
chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line. The name of
the current chord will appear on the display. The accompaniment will continue
playing even if you release the keys (unless the Synchro Stop function is engaged
— page 24).

The MAIN A and MAIN B sections can be selected at any time during playback
by pressing the corresponding button. Whenever you press the MAIN/AUTO
FILL [A] or [B] button during playback, the PSR-330 will generate an appropriate
“fill-in” (one of four types: AA, AB, BA, and BB) which will smoothly connect
the current section to the selected section — even if it is the same section. For

Auto Accompaniment
example, if you press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] button while the MAIN A
section is playing, a fill-in will be produced, then the MAIN A section will
continue playing. When you select a different section, the fill-in will begin
immediately and the new section will actually begin playing from the top of the
next measure unless the MAIN/A UTO FILL [A] or [B] button is pressed during
the last beat of the measure, in which case the fill-in will begin from the first beat
of the next measure.

Accompaniment Track Muting
The PSR-330 has eight accompaniment tracks — RHYTHM 1, RHYTHM 2,
BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1, and PHRASE 2 — that you can
control to modify the “orchestration” and therefore the overall sound of the accompaniment. When a style is selected the icons corresponding to the tracks which contain
data for any section of that style will light.
● What’s in the Tracks
RHYTHM 1 & 2 These are the main rhythm tracks. The RHYTHM tracks produce the
drum and percussion sounds.
BASS The BASS track always plays a bass line, but the voice will change to
fit the selected style … acoustic bass, synth bass, tuba, etc.
CHORD 1 & 2 These tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by
each style. You’ll find guitar, piano , and other chordal instruments here.
PAD This track pla ys long chords where necessary, using sustained instru-
ments such as strings, organ, choir.
PHRASE 1 & 2 This is where the m usical embellishments reside. The PHRASE trac ks
are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras
that make the accompaniment more interesting.
• Individual track voices, volume, and other
parameters can be
changed by using the
REVOICE function —
page 58.
■ Muting Individual Tracks
Individual accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by using the
TRACK buttons corresponding to the target tracks. The track icon will disappear
when a track is muted.

niment volume setting will appear on the top line of the display for a few seconds. The
accompaniment volume range is from “0” (no sound) to “127” (maximum volume).
The default setting is “100”. Press the ACCOMPANIMENT/SONG VOLUME [▼]
button to decrease the volume or the [▲] button to increase the volume. Pressing
