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-6 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 multiple­connector. 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
• Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, 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.

Shortcuts

To make operation as easy and as efficient as possible, the PSR-730/630 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 , y ou will go directly to the REVERB type selection function. The shorcuts will also be described where appropriate throughout this manual.

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-730/630 and preparing to play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-730/630.

Power Supply

• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the
Although the PSR-730/630 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Y amaha recommends use of the more environmentally safe A C adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use .

Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor

batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-730/630 record op­eration! Doing so can re­sult in a loss of data.
z Plug an optional Yamaha PA-6 Power Adaptor into a wall AC outlet. x Then plug the DC output cable from the PA-6 into the DC IN 10-12V jack on
the rear panel of the PSR-730/630. The internal batteries are automatically disconnected when an AC Power Adaptor is used.
DC IN 10-12V
PA-6
When turning the power OFF, simply reverse the procedure.

Using Batteries

For battery operation the PSR-730/630 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R­20 or equivalent batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced “Lo Battery!!” may appear on top of the display, the volume ma y 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.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-6 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-730/630.
• Unplug the AC Power Adap­tor when not using the PSR­730/630, 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.
• Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor while the batteries are in­stalled will reset the PSR­730/630 to the defaults.
Important Notes on Battery Use
• Since the PSR-730 and PSR-630 consume a considerable amount of power , Yamaha recommends the use of an A C power adaptor rather than batteries. The batteries should be consid­ered an auxiliary power source for data backup.
• The floppy disk drive, in pa rticular, uses a large amount of power, so it is impor tant to always use an AC power ada ptor when performing disk-intensive operations such as song re­cording/playback or data load/save. If you attempt to use battery power for these operations and the batteries do fail, you will lose not only the data you’re recording or sa ving, b ut also
12
other data in internal memory including user styles, user pads, registration memory, etc.
• Taking the above precautions into consideration, always use an AC power adaptor when using the PSR-630/730 for an impor­tant performance or when creating important data.
• When using batteries and the “Lo Battery!!” war ning initially appears on the display, the v olume will drop a little but you will be able to use the instrument for a while longer. When the “Lo Battery!!” warning begins to appear every few seconds, re­place the batteries as soon as possible.

FOOT VOL
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private pr actice or late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of head­phones is plugged into the PHONES jack.
Do not listen with the headphones at high vol­ume for long periods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.
The sustain function causes the sound from a depressed key to continue, even after the key is released. Plug an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into the sustain jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. The footswitch con­nected to this jack can also be set to replicate the functions of some panel buttons, doing things like starting and stopping accompaniment (page
117).
Connecting an optional Y amaha FC7 foot con­troller lets you use your foot to change the volume as you play the PSR-730/630 (expres­sion function). The foot controller connected to this jack can also be set to replicate the functions of the main volume controls, such as accompani­ment or song volume (page 117).
Setting Up
• 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.
• When the sustain or sostenuto pedal func­tions are being used (page 117), some voices may sound con­tinuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the pedal is held.

See page 121.
The rear-panel AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks
deliver the output of the PSR-730/630 for con­nection to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, a mixing console, or tape recorder. If you will be connecting the PSR-730/630 to a monaural sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the left- and right-channel signals ar e com­bined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the PSR-730/630 sound. (Use phone plugs).
• Connecting PSR­730/630 to external equipment only after turning off power for all devices. 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.

A Word About the “R1”, “R2”, and “L” Voices

The PSR-730/630 allows up to three voices to be selected at the same time: “R1” (Right-hand 1), “R2”, (Right-hand 2) and “L” (Left-hand). The “R1” voice is the basic voice of the PSR-730/630 and it’s used when you’re playing a single voice over the entire range of the keyboard as with an acoustic piano. Y ou can also have two voices play together at the same time (R1 voice and R2 voice) or play dif ferent voices with the right and left hands (R1 voice and L voice) (pages 19, 20). The numbers of the currently selected R1, R2, and L voices are all shown at the lower right of on the display panel. Normally, the R1 voice n umber is also shown at the upper right of the display panel.

Accompaniment Sections

There are 8 types of Auto Accompaniment sections that allow you to vary the arrangement of the accompaniment to match the song you are playing. They are: Intro, Main A and B, Fill-in (AA, AB, BA, BB) and Ending. By switching between them while playing you can put together a single song.

BA
INTRO Section
This is the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompa­niment shifts to the main section.
MAIN Section
There are two variations that can play in the main section of the song: A and B. The Auto Accompaniment will automatically play following along with the chords that you play.
FILL-IN Section
Fill-in livens up pauses in the song. W henever you press the MAIN/AUT O FILL [A] or [B] button during accompaniment, the PSR-730/630 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.

Accompaniment T rack Muting

The PSR-730/630 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.
Individual accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by pressing the TRACK buttons corresponding to the target tracks. The track icon will disappear when a track is muted. By turning the tracks OFF and ON in different combinations, you can create various arrangements from a single accompaniment style.

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 accom-
paniment required by each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here.
P AD This track plays long chords where necessary , using
sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir.
PHRASE 1 & 2 This is where the musical embellishments reside.
The PHRASE tracks are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.
