Congratulationsr t l ti

on yourr purchaserc off thet Yamaha PortaTone!rt !

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 an remarkably expressive and versatile instrument.

Read this Owner’s Manual carefully while playing your new PortaTone in order to take full advantage of its various features.

The PortaTone is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use keyboard with the following features and functions:

Exceptionally realistic sounds with 100 AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) Voices, utilizing digital recordings of actual instruments.

100 dynamic auto accompaniment Styles, each with different Intro, Main A and B, four Fill-ins, and Ending sections. Each of the 100 Styles also has its own Jam Track section, featuring specially programmed chord progressions and accompaniment that matches the selected musical Style.

Convenient control over accompaniment Styles — including Tempo, independent Accompaniment Volume, and even accompaniment “size” (LARGE/SMALL control).

20 Songs, for listening enjoyment or for playing along with when using the Minus One function.

One Touch Setting, for automatically calling up an appropriate Voice for playing with the Style or Song you select.

High-quality amplifier/speaker system (stereo for the PSR-190).

Precautions

Ñ Taking Care of Your PortaTone

Your new PortaTone is a fine musical instrument Ñ and should be treated as such. Handle it with care and common sense, and it will give you years of enjoyment.

Location

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or other sources of heat. Never leave it inside a car where it can get very hot. Also avoid highly humid or dusty places.

Interference From

Electromagnetic Fields

• Do not use your PortaTone close to television sets, radios or similar equipment since this may cause interference noise in the other appliance.

Handling

• Protect your PortaTone from strong impact. Be careful not to drop it or place heavy objects on it. Avoid applying excessive force to the controls and keys.

When Not Using the PortaTone

• After use, always turn off the POWER switch. When not using your PortaTone for long periods, be sure to remove the batteries to avoid damage through battery leakage. When using the PortaTone with an AC adaptor, unplug the adaptor from the electrical outlet, if the instrument is not to be used for a long period of time, or during electrical storms.

Cleaning

Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, use a slightly moistened cloth.

Never use alcohol, thinner, or other chemical solvents, since they will damage the finish. Also, do not leave vinyl chloride material on the PortaTone for a long time, since it may adhere to the exterior.

Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper usage.

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PortaTone for playing. Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.

Power Requirements

When the Batteries Run Down

Your PortaTone can run either on batteries (sold separately) or on normal household current by using the optional Yamaha PA-3/3B Power Adaptor (or another adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha).

Using an AC Power Adaptor

To connect your PortaTone to a wall socket, you will need the optionally available Yamaha PA-3/3B Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could result in damage to the instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind. Plug the adaptor into a convenient wall outlet and its connector into the DC IN 10-12V jack on the back of your PortaTone.

DC IN 10-12V

Using Batteries

Inserting Batteries

Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery compartment lid. Insert six 1.5-volt size “D” 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 low and the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the PortaTone may not sound or function properly or may be reset to the default status. As soon as this happens, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. 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 an extended period of time.

Accessory Jack

Using Headphones

For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel PHONES /AUX OUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into this jack.

PHONES /

AUX OUT

Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or

Stereo System

Though the PortaTone is equipped with a built-in speaker system, you can also play it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the PortaTone 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/AUX OUT jack on the PortaTone.

Music Stand

Insert the bottom edge of the included music stand into the slot located at the top rear of the PortaTone control panel.

Getting Started Ñ

Playing the Demo Songs

The PortaTone has a variety of Demo Songs, specially recorded to showcase the dynamic sounds and rhythms and give you an idea of what you can do with the instrument.

1. First, turn on the power.

Press the POWER ON/OFF button. Whenever the power is turned on, the Voice mode is automatically called up and set to play Voice 01 (PIANO).

3. Press the DEMO button.

The Demo Songs will play from the Song number 01 in sequence. You can play along on the keyboard with the Songs. (Scores for the Demo Songs are provided on pages 11~20)

2. Set the Volume.

Initially, turn the VOLUME control about a third of the way up. You can adjust the control for optimum level once you start playing.

To stop playback, press the DEMO button again or press the START/STOP button.

The Style section and the accompaniment LARGE/SMALL will change according to the Style data while the Demo Song plays.

The PortaTone features a large multi-function display that shows all important settings for the instrument. The section below briefly explains the various icons and indications in the display.
