Rear Panel Connectors

DC IN Jack The DC output cord from an optional Yamaha PA-3, PA-4, or PA-40 AC Power Adaptor should be plugged in here when the PSR-200 or PSR-300 is to be powered from the AC mains supply (refer to Power Supply on page 1 for more details). HEADPHONES/AUX. OUT Jack A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the HEADPHONES jack. The HEADPHONFS/AUX. OUT jack can also be used to deliver the output of the PSR-200/PSR-300 to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, mixing console or tape recorder. MIDI IN and OUT Connectors (PSR-300 only) The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control the PSR-300. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-300 (e.g. note and velocity dam produced by playing the keyboard). More details on MIDI are given in MOVING UP TO MIDI on page 14.

The transposition range is from -12 to +12, with -12 corresponding to downward transposition by 12 semitones (one octave, and +12 corresponding to upward transposition by 12 semitones. 0 is the normal keyboard pitch value. The normal transpose value (0) can be recalled at any time by pressing buttons at the same time. both the TRANSPOSE and
The transpose value is automatically set to 0 whenever the power switch is turned ON.

THE SPLIT MODE

The PSR-200/PSR-300 SPLIT mode allows you to play two voices at once one with the left hand and one with the right. The left-hand voice can be played to the left of the split point, set as described below, and the right-hand voice can be played to the right of the split point.
Select the right-hand and left-hand voices as required. When the SPLIT mode is first selected the current voice is assigned to the right-hand keys. If no other left-hand voice has been selected since the PSR-200/PSR-300 was turned ON, the ELECTRIC BASS voice (number 82) will be assigned to the left-hand keys.
The left-hand voice is octave-shifted to provide the best sound in the left-hand range.
Press the [MODE] button as many times as necessary until the SPLIT indicator lights this selects the SPLIT mode.
2. If necessary, set the split point as described below:
Setting the SPLIT Mode Split Point: The split point for the SPLIT mode is initially set at the C3 key. It can be set to any other key by pressing the desired split-point key while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button. The split point is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY for as long as the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button is held. The C3 key, for example, would be displayed as C3. F#2 would be displayed as F-2. The sharp is indicated by the lit bar between the F and the 2. The SPLIT mode split point is retained in memory and will be recalled whenever the SPLIT mode is selected. Note that the split-point key is included in the righthand section of the keyboard.
Changing the Right and Left-hand Voices: Make sure the [VOICE/STYLE] button VOICE indicator is lit (press the [VOICE/STYLE] button once if it isnt). To change the right-hand voice press a key to the right of the split point. The current right-hand voice number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY and a new righthand voice can be selected in the normal way. To change the left-hand voice press a key to the left of the split point. The current left-hand voice number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY and a new left-hand voice can be selected in the normal way.
When playing in the SPLIT mode, the MULTI DISPLAY will switch between the left- and right-hand voice numbers according to whether notes are played on the left- or right-hand section of the keyboard. The PSR-300 DUAL indicator flashes according to the left- and righthand section DUAL mode settings when the SPLIT and DUAL modes are used together.

The three LED dots at the bottom of the MULTI DISPLAY provide a visual indication of the selected tempo as follows:
1st. Beat 2nd. Beat 3rd. Beat 4th. Beat
When the power is initially turned ON, the 00 DANCE1 style is automatically selected.
If neither the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is selected, the accompaniment will consist only of rhythm (drums & percussion) sounds. Operation of the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT SINGLE FINGER and FINGERED modes is described on page 9 and 10. A different accompaniment style can be selected at any time while the accompaniment is playing. The style number display will change as soon as the selection is made, but the new style will begin playback from the top of the next measure. The tempo will not change when the new style begins playing.
RHYTHM ACCOMPANIMENT Starting the Accompaniment with an Introduction
Any of the PSR-200/PSR-300 accompaniment patterns can be started with an appropriate introduction by pressing the [INTRO/FILL IN] button. The intro pattern will repeat as long as the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is held. Once the button is released, the normal pattern will begin playing from the top of the next measure.
Adjusting the Accompaniment Volume
Although the MASTER VOLUME control can be used to set the overall volume level, the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLand UME buttons can be used to adjust the volume of the selected accompaniment in relation to the right-hand melody voice. The fist time the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLor UME button is pressed the current volume will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current volume is still showing on the display, press the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME butbutton to increase the volume, or the ton to decrease the volume. The selected volume level will be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY while the volume is being adjusted, and for approximately 2 seconds after either VOLUME button is released. The volume range is from 0 to 24, with 0 being the lowest volume and 24 the highest. The default accompaniment volume value (21) can be recalled at any time by pressing both and the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME buttons at the same time.

Adding Fill-ins

To add a short fill-in (rhythm variation) at any time while the accompaniment is playing, press the [INTRO/FILL IN] button. If you hold the [INTRO/FILL IN] button, the fill-in pattern will repeat until the button is released, then the normal rhythm will begin from the beginning of the next measure.
The accompaniment volume is automatically set to 21 whenever the power switch is turned ON. If the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is pressed within one 1/4 beat from the beginning of a beat, the fill in will begin immediately. If pressed at any other time the fill in will begin on the beginning of the next beat.
Stopping the Accompaniment
An accompaniment in progress can be stopped immediately by pressing the [START/STOP] button, or it can be stopped with an appropriate ending by pressing the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button.

If the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button is pressed within one 1/4 beat from the beginning of a measure, the ending will begin immediately. If pressed at any other time the ending will begin on the beginning of the next measure. If the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is pressed while the ending pattern is playing, a fill-in will be played, followed by a return to the normal pattern.

AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT

The PSR-200/PSR-300 includes a sophisticated Auto accompaniment system that can provide automated bass and chordal backing in a number of ways.
The maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on the PSR-200/PSR-300 keyboard is reduced when the Auto Accompaniment feature is used.
3. Select the desired accompaniment style in the normal
way. Although you can select the melody (upper keyboard) voice you intend to use, the PSR-200/PSR-300 automatically determines the voices to be used for the accompaniment part according the accompaniment style you select.
Single Finger Accompaniment
SINGLE FINGER accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the left-hand section of the keyboard. The bass and chord accompaniment produced is perfectly matched to the currently selected accompaniment style.
Press the [START/STOP] button, [SYNCHRO START/ ENDING] button or the [INTRO/FILL IN] buttons to determine how the accompaniment will be started (see page 7). If you press the [START/STOP] button or the [INTRO/FILL IN] button, the rhythm will begin playing immediately without bass and chord accompaniment.
Press the [MODE] button as many times as necessary until the SINGLE FINGER indicator lights this selects the SINGLE FINGER mode.
Press any key to the left of the split point to start the automatic accompaniment. If you press a C key, for example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key in the left-hand section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key you press will always determine the root of the chord played (i.e. C for a C chord).
Setting the SINGLE FINGER Mode Split Point: The split point for the SINGLE FINGER mode is initially set at the D2 key. It can be set to any other key by pressing the desired split-point key while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button. The split point is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY for as long as the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button is held. The D2 key, for example, would be displayed as d 2. F#2 would be displayed as F-2. The sharp is indicated by the lit bar between the F and the 2. The SINGLE FINGER mode split point is retained in memory and will be recalled whenever the SINGLE FINGER mode is selected. A method of initializing the SINGLE FINGER mode split point to its original default value is described on page 6.

Playing Minor, Seventh, and Minor-seventh Chords in the Single-finger Mode
For a minor chord, press the root key and a black key to its left. For a seventh chord, press the root key and a white key to its left. For a minor-seventh chord, press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.
The automatic accompaniment will continue playing even if you lift your fingers from the Auto Accompaniment keys. You only need to press the Auto Accompaniment keys when changing cords.
Press the [START/STOP] button or the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button to stop the Accompaniment.
AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT Setting the Accompaniment Volume
Set the volume of the Auto Accompaniment sound using the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME buttons. The MASTER VOLUME control can be used to set the overall volume level.
The PSR-200/300 memorizes separate SINGLE FINGER, FINGERED, and SPLIT mode split points. The corresponding split point is automatically recalled when one of these modes is selected.
Use the TEMPO buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo (see Setting the Tempo on page 7 for details).
The [INTRO/FILL IN] button can be used in the Auto Accompaniment mode to create pattern variations in the same way that it is with rhythm accompaniment patterns (refer to Adding Fill-ins on page 8 for details).
3. Select the desired accompaniment style in the normal way.
Although you can select the melody (upper keyboard) voice you intend to use, the PSR-200/PSR-300 automatically determines the voices to be used for the accompaniment part according the accompaniment style you select.

Fingered Accompaniment

The FINGERED mode is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply your own chords for the Auto Accompaniment feature.
Press the [START/STOP] button, [SYNCHRO START/ ENDING] button or the [INTRO/FILL IN] buttons to determine how the accompaniment will be started (see page 7). If you press the [START/STOP] button or the [INTRO/ FILL IN] button, the rhythm will begin playing immediately without bass and chord accompaniment. section of the keyboard, the PSR-200/PSR-300 will automatically begin to play the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line. The accompaniment will continue playing even if you release the Auto Accompaniment keys. The PSR-200/PSR-300 will accept the following chord types (see fingering chart on page 19):

Chord sequences containing a maximum of 60 different chords can be recorded in each bank. Material recorded using the CHORD MEMORY is retained in memory even when the POWER switch is turned OFF (if batteries are present).
Use the [AUTO HARMONY] buttons to select a harmony type between 01 and 05. or The first time the AUTO HARMONY button is pressed the current harmony type number will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current harmony type is still showing on the display, press the AUTO HARMONY button briefly to increment (increase by button to decone) the harmony type number, or the rement (decrease by one) the harmony type number. Holding either button causes continuous incrementing or decrementing. The selected harmony type number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY while the [AUTO HARMONY] or button is pressed (the letter H will appear before the harmony type number).

Recording

Pick out an accompaniment style that is appropriate for the type of music you want to record. Press the [BANK 1], [BANK 2], or [BANK 3] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. This engages the record ready mode for the selected bank. The bank indicator will flash, the metronome will sound, and the three dots along the bottom of the MULTI DISPLAY will flash at the currently selected tempo. Press the [REC] button again if you want to disengage the record ready mode and perform some other function. If the NORMAL or SPLIT mode is selected, the FINGERED mode is automatically selected when the record ready mode is engaged. If the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is selected, no change occurs.
PSR-200/PSR-300 Harmony Types
OFF DUET TRIO BLOCK COUNTRY OCTAVE
The OFF setting can be selected at any time by pressing both the [AUTO HARMONY] buttons simultaneously.
In the SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED mode, the left-hand chords determine the harmony notes that will be applied to the right-hand melody. In the NORMAL mode, all harmony is based on a C major chord. If AUTO HARMONY is used at the same time as the SPLIT feature (see page 6) harmony will be not be applied to the lefthand voice. Left-hand chord fingerings are used to determine the harmony applied to the right-hand voice. Usable fingerings are the same as for the FINGERED mode. If AUTO HARMONY is used at the same time as the DUAL feature (see page 5) harmony will be not be applied to the second dual voice. If the synchro start mode is turned off by pressing the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button prior to playing, right-hand melody and harmony without accompaniment can be produced but the left-hand chords will still have to be fingered to produce the appropriate harmony.

3. Before actually beginning to record, you should set a
tempo that will be easy to record at using the [TEMPO] buttons.
4. Recording will begin as soon as you play a chord on the
left-hand section of the keyboard (SYNCHRO START operation). Recording can also be started by pressing the [START/ STOP] or [INTRO/FILL IN] button. In this case on the rhythm will begin without bass and chord accompaniment until you play the first chord on the left-hand section of the keyboard.

MOVING UP TO MIDI

A Brief Introduction to MIDI
MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a worldstandard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create systems of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments.

Use the [SONG SELECT] buttons to select a song number between 00 and 14. Press the button briefly to increment (increase by one) the song number, or the button to decrement (decrease by one) the song number. Holding either button causes continuous incrementing or decrementing. The selected song number will be shown on the MULTI DISor PLAY while the SONG SELECT button is pressed. Press the [MINUS ONE START/STOP] button to start playback of the selected song without the melody line.
When Minus One playback begins, the same voice as for the corresponding demo melody is selected. The DUAL setting and harmony type are also the same.
The PSR-300 MIDI Connectors
The PSR-300 MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control the PSR-300. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-300 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard).
3. Play along on the keyboard.
Only the NORMAL and SPLIT modes can be used during minus-one playback. The NORMAL mode will automatically be selected if FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER is engaged when minus-one playback is started.

Simple MIDI Control

Most MIDI keyboards (including the PSR-300, of course) transmit note and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is that you can effectively play two instruments at once, providing thick multi-instrument sounds. The PSR-300 also transmits program change data when one of its voices is selected. Depending on how the receiving device is set up, the corresponding voice will be automatically selected on the receiving keyboard or tone generator whenever a voice is selected on the PSR-300.
4. Playback will continue until the [MINUS ONE START/
STOP] button is pressed again.
If you press the [DEMO START/STOP] button during minus-one playback, the melody part will reappear and playback will continue in the DEMO mode. On the other hand, if you press the [MINUS ONE START/ STOP] button during demo playback, the melody part will be muted and playback will continue in the MINUS ONE mode.
The following functions can be used during minus-one playback:
SPLIT DUAL VOICE selection SUSTAIN TEMPO ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME TRANSPOSE SPLIT POINT CHANGE AUTO HARMONY (applies to notes played on the keyboard) The Demo Tunes of this keyboard are Demonstration purposes only. It may not be possible to reproduce the Demo Tunes 100% manually.

The PSR-300 is capable of receiving the same MIDI data, so a second MIDI keyboard connected to the PSR-300 MIDI IN connector can be used to remotely play the PSR-300 and select voices as required.
(PSR-300 only) MIDI Sequence Recording
The same type of musical information transfer described above is used for MIDI sequence recording. A MIDI sequence recorder can be used to record MIDI data received from a PSR-300, for example. When the recorded data is played back, the PSR-300 automatically plays the recorded performance in precise detail. or button is pressed during external sync If the TEMPO mode is engaged, EC (External Clock) will appear on the display. External synchronization is automatically selected when MIDI clock is received. If the external MIDI clock data is not received, internal clock operation is automatically resumed. Velocity sensitivity is dependent on the selected voice. *Refer to the Remote Control Mode MIDI Implementation Chart on page 34 for more details. Remote Control Mode Transmission The following points apply to MIDI data transmitted by the PSR-300 in the Remote Control mode.
PSR-300 MIDI Settings & Functions The Remote Control Mode
The Remote Control mode should be used when the PSR300 is to be connected to a second keyboard which it is to control. If the PSR-300 is being used as the receiving device, it can be played from an external keyboard while the panel controls including auto accompaniment operate normally. Remote Control Mode Selection The Remote Control mode is automatically selected whenever the PSR-300 is turned ON. If the Multi Voice Mode has been selected (see below), however, the Remote Control mode can be re-selected by pressing the numeric VOICE/STYLE [0] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. rc will appear on the display.
Transmitted note numbers are not affected by the Transpose setting. In the NORMAL or SPLIT mode, all keyboard data is transmitted via the specified MIDI transmit channel. When the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is used, only MIDI data corresponding to notes played on the right-hand section of the keyboard is transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector on the specified MIDI transmit channel.

Something not working as it should? In many cases what appears to be a malfunction can be traced to a simple error that can be remedied immediately. Before assuming that your PSR-200/PSR-300 is faulty, please check the following points.

1. PROBLEM

The PSR-200/PSR-300 speakers produce a pop sound whenever the power is turned ON or OFF. CHECK This is normal and is no cause for alarm.
Data received via the MIDI IN connector is not retransmitted via the MIDI OUT connector (i.e. no echo-back) in either the Remote Control or Multi mode.
PROBLEM No sound. CHECK Are the MASTER VOLUME control and accompaniment volume levels turned up high enough? PROBLEM Rhythm wont start or no rhythm sound. CHECK Is the accompaniment volume turned up high enough? Are you sure you pressed the START button? Perhaps the PSR-200/PSR-300 is in the SYNCHRO START mode, so all you have to do is start playing. PROBLEM Auto accompaniment wont function. No lower keyboard sound. CHECK Auto accompaniment wont function if the FINGERED mode is selected and youre using SINGLE FINGER type fingering or improper chord fingering. Are you sure youre playing in the left-hand section of the keyboard when the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is selected? The left-hand section of the keyboard will produce no sound if synchro start is disengaged in the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode. PROBLEM The accompaniment key changes while youre playing. CHECK Perhaps you accidentally pressed a key in the left-hand range. PROBLEM Auto accompaniment chords dont seem to change properly. CHECK Are you playing chords that the PSR-200/PSR-300 can recognize (see fingering chart on page 19)? PROBLEM The sound is distorted or intermittent. CHECK In this case, your batteries are probably flat and need replacement. 17
PROBLEM Sustain produces little or no effect. CHECK The sustain effect may not sound as deep as it normally does when used during accompaniment or demo playback. This is normal. PROBLEM Abnormal operation not listed above. Complete lack of control. CHECK The internal microprocessor may have been locked up due to static electricity or other causes. Turn the instrument OFF for a minute or so, then turn it ON again. If the power can not be turned off by using the [POWER] button, remove the batteries and/or unplug the AC power adaptor.

If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible uid leakage from the battery. Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to ash memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost.

Using Batteries

q Open the battery compartment cover located on the
instruments bottom panel. w Insert the six new alkaline batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the side of the compartment. e Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks rmly in place.
Never connect or disconnect the AC power adaptor when the batteries are installed in the instrument and the power is on. Doing so will turn the power off, possibly resulting in loss of the data being transferred and the data currently in the transfer destination during transferring or recording a data.

Make all necessary connections BEFORE turning the power on.
Audio Connections Headphones and External Equipment
Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power. While playing the keyboard, adjust the volume level by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control. Pressing the [STANDBY/ON] switch again turns the power off. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a set of headphones, keyboard amplier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instruments output signal to that device. The internal speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output.
When using a power adaptor, even when the power is off, a small amount of electricity is still being consumed by the instrument. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.
Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.
To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting and turn power off the devices before connecting them. Failure to observe these precautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Using the music rest

Insert the music rest into the slots as shown.

Connecting a footswitch

Removing the protective lm
The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing an optional footswitch. Plug the Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into the SUSTAIN jack and use it to switch sustain on and off.
Remove the transparent protective lm that was applied to the display prior to shipment from the factory.
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.

Troubleshooting

Problem When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a Song or Style is being played back. Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off. Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound. The volume is too soft. The sound quality is poor. The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play. The recorded data of the Song, etc. does not play correctly. The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings are reset. The Style or Song does not play back when the [START/STOP] button is pressed.
Possible Cause and Solution This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument. Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output. Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 59.) The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes including Dual voice, Split Voice, auto accompaniment, song, and Metronome. Notes exceeding this limit will not sound. When using the Dictionary function (page 54), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.
The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.
Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to External Clock Settings on page 59. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 53) is set to an appropriate level. Is the Split Point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the Split Point at an appropriate key (page 47). Is the ACMP ON indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.
