Keep this in mind when transferring data. Do not rename the backup le on the computer. If you do so, it will not be recognized when transferred to the instrument.

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.

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. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
If you notice any abnormality
When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. (If you are using batteries, remove all batteries from the instrument.) Then have the device inspected by Yamaha service personnel. The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged. It emits unusual smells or smoke. Some object has been dropped into the instrument. There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.

Fire warning

Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

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 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. When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it. Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

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.

Reverb Chorus Send Level Send Level
Reverb reproduces the acoustic ambience of a concert hall or club, while chorus produces a layered multi-instrument effect. Knob A adjusts the depth of the reverb effect, and Knob B adjusts the depth of the chorus effect.

(Envelope Generator)

Attack Time Release Time
Envelope Generator effects determine how the level of the sound varies over time. You can make the attack faster for a more percussive sound or slower for a violin-like sound, for example. Or you can lengthen or shorten the sustain to most ideally match the music.

Key Released

Knob A adjusts attack time (the amount of time it takes the sound to reach maximum level when a key is played). Knob B adjusts release time (the amount of time it takes for the sound to decay to silence after a key is released).

v Style Filter

In this case the knobs apply the filter effect to the style being played. Knob A and Knob B have the same functions as for z Filter described on the preceding page.

b Style Tempo

Tempo No Effect
Knob A adjusts the tempo of the style and arpeggios. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the tempo while rotating it counterclockwise decreases the tempo. The knobs center position produces the initial default tempo.

Using the Knobs

Rotating the knob to the right while the volume is set to a high level can result in distortion. If this occurs, reduce the volume level. If you select a different keyboard voice the knobs will be reset and the ideal settings for the selected voice will be automatically recalled. In the same way, if the v STYLE FILTER effect is selected, the knobs will be reset if a different style is selected. If you create an original setting you like, it might be a good idea to save it in the instruments Registration Memory (page 48) so you can recall the same settings again at any time. You can also record performances using original sounds youve created (page 43).
