WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, re or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
Only use the voltage specied as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. (PSR-S900) Use the specied adaptor (PA-300B/PA-300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. (PSR-S700) Use the specied adaptor (PA-301/PA-300B/PA-300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. 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.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks
An optional oppy disk drive UD-FD01 can be connected to this instrument. It lets you save original data youve created on the instrument to oppy disk, and allows you to load data from oppy disk to the instrument. Be sure to handle oppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.
Do not remove the oppy disk or turn off the instrument itself while the disk is being accessed. Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but also damage to the oppy disk drive.
Floppy Disk Compatibility
3.5" 2DD and 2HD type oppy disks can be used.
Be sure to remove the oppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A oppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors.

Formatting a Floppy Disk

If you nd that you are unable to use new, blank disks or old disks that have been used with other devices, you may need to format them. For details on how to format a disk, see page 72. Keep in mind that all data on the disk will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the disk contains important data. n

3BAND EQ EQ (Equalizer) is a processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands, which can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. The instrument features a high-grade three-band (LOW, MID and HIGH) digital equalizer function for the microphone sound. Hz Adjusts the center frequency of the corresponding band. dB Boosts or cuts the level of the corresponding band by up to 12 dB. NOISE GATE This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specied level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass. SW (Switch) This turns the Noise Gate on or off. TH. (Threshold) This adjusts the input level at which the gate begins to open.
