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 multiple-connector. 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, re, or battery uid 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, re, or battery uid leakage. Do not dispose of batteries in re. Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged. When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery uid. Keep batteries away from children. If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked uid. If the battery uid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery uid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns. 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. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
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 disguration 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 uids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber 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 specied for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, 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.

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-175/172 for playing. Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.

Power Requirements

Although the PSR-175/172 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.
I Using an AC Power Adaptor
To connect your PSR-175/172 to a wall socket, you will need the optionally available Yamaha PA-3C or PA-3B Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could result in damage to the instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind. Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the PSR-175/172 is set to STANDBY. Connect one end of the adaptor to the DC IN 12V jack on the rear panel of your PSR-175/172, and the other end to a suitable electrical outlet.
Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3C or PA-3B AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specically 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-175/172. Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-175/ 172, or during electrical storms.

I Using Batteries

G Inserting Batteries Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery compartment lid. Insert six 1.5-volt D size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned, and replace the lid.
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 a long time.
G When the Batteries Run Down When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the PSR-175/172 may not sound or function properly. As soon as this happens, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.

Turning On the Power

With the AC power adaptor connected or with batteries installed, simply move the STANDBY switch until it is set to the ON position. When the instrument is not in use, be sure to turn the power off.
Even when the switch is in the STANDBY position, electricity is still owing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the PSR-175/172 for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

Change chords using the auto accompaniment feature.
Try playing a few successive chords with your left hand, and notice how the bass and chord accompaniment change with each chord you play.
The [ACCOMPANIMENT ON/ OFF] button can also be used to turn off and on the bass/chord accompaniment while playing allowing you to create dynamic rhythmic breaks in your performance.
Chords played in the ACMP section of the keyboard are also detected and played when the accompaniment is stopped. In effect, this gives you a split keyboard, with bass and chords in the left hand and the normally selected voice in the right.

Stop the style.

You can do this in one of three ways: I Pressing the [START/STOP] button The rhythm/accompaniment stops playing immediately. I Using an Ending section Press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button. The style stops after the Ending section is nished. I Pressing the [SYNC START] button This stops the style and automatically enables Sync Start, letting you re-start the style by simply playing a chord or key in the ACMP section of the keyboard (or any key when accompaniment is off).
To have the Ending section gradually slow down (ritardando) as it is playing, press the [INTRO/ ENDING/rit.] button twice quickly.
The Tempo of song (and style) playback can be adjusted over a range of 40 - 240 bpm (beats per minute). For instructions on changing the Tempo, see page 31.
Each style has been given a default or standard tempo. When style playback is stopped and a different style is selected, the tempo returns to the default setting of the new style. When switching styles during playback, the last tempo setting is maintained. (This allows you to keep the same tempo, even when changing styles.)
You can also use the convenient Tap Tempo function to change the tempo by tapping a new one in real time. (See page 44.)
Style Sections (Main A, Main B) and Fill-ins
While the style is playing you can create dynamic variation in the rhythm and accompaniment by pressing the [MAIN/AUTO FILL] button. This switches between the Main A and Main B sections, automatically playing a ll-in pattern to smoothly lead into the next section. For example, if the Main A section is currently playing, pressing this button automatically plays a ll-in pattern, followed by the Main B section. You can also select either the Main A or B section to start by pressing the [MAIN/ AUTO FILL] button before starting the style.

Select the Pad function in the Overall menu.
Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until MULTI PAD is selected in the display.

Current Pad bank number

I About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a worldwide standard that is built into many electronic musical instruments and other digital music related devices, allowing them to be connected and communicate with each other. For two MIDI instruments to communicate, they must be connected by MIDI cables. In a basic example, the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of the PSR-175/172 could be connected to the MIDI OUT and MIDI IN terminals of a sequencer, allowing you to record and play back performance data from the PSR-175/172. The instruments communicate with each other by sending messages or MIDI data. The sending instrument usually assigns the data to one of sixteen MIDI channels, then transmits it over the MIDI cable. The cable itself, however, is not divided up into sixteen channels. Just as with a television set that receives programs on different channels, it is up to the receiving instrument to tune into the proper MIDI channel. If the sending and receiving channels on the respective instruments do not match, the receiving instrument may not understand or respond to the one sending.

I How Can MIDI be Used?

In the simple, yet powerful MIDI application example below, the Yamaha QY70 Music Sequencer is used to record and play back performance data played on the PSR-175/172 keyboard.
Before actually recording to the sequencer, press the [ACCOMPANIMENT ON/OFF] button once or twice to make sure that the current settings are sent.
On the PSR-175/172, the following channels (eight total) are enabled for MIDI reception: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10. The MIDI transmit channels are xed to the following data: Ch. 1 : Keyboard, harmony Ch. 2 : Bass Ch. 3 : Chord Ch. 4 - 7 : Other Ch. 10 : Rhythm Parts that have been recorded using the PSR-175/172 should also be played back from the PSR-175/172. Data may not play back as expected when using other sound sources (such as the internal sounds of the QY70). Also, a connected sound source may sound at a different octave from that originally played on the PSR-175/172. MIDI data cannot be transmitted during song playback. Avoid using MIDI cables 15 meters or longer, since doing so can result in MIDI errors.
Connect the MIDI OUT of the PSR-175/172 to the MIDI IN of the QY70
Connect the MIDI IN of the PSR-175/172 to the MIDI OUT of the QY70
Viewing the Notation for MIDI Channel 1 The PSR-175/172 has a special function that lets you view the notes of the MIDI data (channel 1 only) on the display.

Troubleshooting

Problem When the PSR-175/172 is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Possible Cause and Solution This is normal and indicates that the PSR-175/172 is receiving electrical power. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the PSR-175/172 may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the PSR-175/172. The battery power is too low. Replace the batteries. (See page 8.) 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. This is normal. The Pianist styles have no drums or bass only piano accompaniment. The accompaniment of the style can only be heard when accompaniment is set to ON and keys are played in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. Make sure the Style mode is active before using the auto accompaniment. Press the [STYLE] button to enable style operations. Too many keys are pressed at the same time. The PSR-175/172 is polyphonic up to a maximum of 16 notes. When using the Dictionary function (page 41), the keys in the right hand section are used only for entering the chord root and type. Make sure that the Accompaniment Volume (page 47) is set to an appropriate level. The PSR-175/172 is polyphonic up to a maximum of 16 notes. If a style or song is playing back at the same time a Multi Pad is played, some notes/sounds of the Multi Pad may be omitted (or stolen) from the accompaniment or song. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note. When auto accompaniment is on, the display shows the specific notes of the chords you play in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. If you play a single finger chord, or an inversion of a chord, the corresponding chord will be appropriately displayed even if the display does not exactly match the pressed keys.
