PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from
electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to,
the following:
Power supply/AC power adaptor

Water warning

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B, PA-3C 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 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.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

• 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.

Do not open
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If
it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have
it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

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

If you notice any abnormality
• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a
sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or
smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power
switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage

PSR-E303/YPT-300 Owner’s Manual

Setting Up
Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.

Power Requirements
Although the instrument 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.

■ Using an AC Power Adaptor
q Make sure that the power of the instrument is off

(the backlit display is off).
WARNING
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B or PA-3C AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically 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 instrument.

w Connect the AC adaptor (PA-3B, PA-3C or other

adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to
the power supply jack.
e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the
instrument, or during electrical storms.

e
PA-3B or
PA-3C

AC outlet

■ Using Batteries
q Open the battery compartment cover located on the

instrument’s 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 firmly in place.
CAUTION
• 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.

PSR-E303/YPT-300 Owner’s Manual

For battery operation the instrument requires six
1.5V “AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When battery
power becomes too low for proper operation, the
volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this
happens, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below.
If necessary, also make sure to save all important
User data (see page 29), since custom panel settings are lost when the batteries are removed.
CAUTION
• Use alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of
batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may have
sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low,
possibly resulting in loss of data in the flash memory.
• Make sure to install the batteries with the proper orientation, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may result in heat, fire and/or
leaking of corrosive chemicals.
• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new
batteries. Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g.
alkaline and manganese) at the same time.
• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time,
remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible
fluid leakage from the battery.
• Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to
flash 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.

Setting Up

Make all necessary connections BEFORE turning the power on.

Using the MIDI Terminals

Connecting headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)

The PSR-E303/YPT-300 speakers are automatically
shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The
PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external
output.
You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a
keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape
recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the
instrument’s output signal to that device.
WARNING

MIDI instrument

The instrument also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the instrument with other MIDI
instruments or computers. (For more information, see
page 58.)
NOTE

• MIDI cables (sold separately) must be used for connecting to
MIDI devices. They can be bought at music stores, etc.

• 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.

Turn on the power
CAUTION
• 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.

Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER
VOLUME] control to the left and press the
[STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power. Pressing the switch again turns the power off.

Connecting a footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack)
Backup data in the flash memory (page 29) is loaded
to the instrument when the power is turned on. If no
backup data exists on flash memory, all instrument
settings are restored to the initial factory defaults
when the power is turned on.
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 this jack and
use it to switch sustain on and off.
NOTE

• 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.

CAUTION
• 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.

CAUTION
• Never attempt to turn the power off when a “Writing!”
message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage
the flash memory and result in a loss of data.

NOTE

• Notes in parentheses can
be omitted.
• Playing two same root keys
in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment
based only on the root.
• A perfect fifth (1+5) produces accompaniment
based only on the root and
fifth which can be used with
both major and minor
chords.
• The chord fingerings listed
are all in “root” position, but
other inversions can be
used—with the following
exceptions: m7, m7b5, 6,
m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5,
6(9), 1+2+5
• Inversion of the 7sus4 and
m7(11) chords are not recognized if the notes shown
in parentheses are omitted.
• The auto accompaniment
will sometimes not change
when related chords are
played in sequence (e.g.
some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).
• Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the
previously played chord.

* These chords are not shown in the Chord Dictionary function.

Playing Auto Accompaniment Chords

■ About chords
Playing two or more notes together simultaneously creates a “chord.”
Playing a note together with two other notes spaced three notes (steps) apart—such as the
notes C, E and G—creates a harmonious sound. Chords like these are called “triads” and
they play an important role in most music.

3rd

Root

3rd

Taking the chord above as an example, the lowest note of this triad is called the “root note.” This is the central note
sound, and it supports or anchors the rest of the notes chord.
You’ll notice that the middle note of the chord above (E) is the third step in the succession of scale notes—C, D, then E.
There are two types of “thirds” in chords: major thirds and minor thirds.
Major third—four half steps from the root

Minor third—three half steps from the root

We’ll also alter the top note of our original chord and make three additional chords, as shown below. (The captions indicate the intervals between each of the notes.)
◆ Major chord

◆ Minor chord

Minor 3rd

◆ Augmented chord

Major 3rd

◆ Diminished chord

C aug

Minor 3rd

Major 3rd

C dim

Major 3rd

Minor 3rd

The basic characteristics of the chord sound are same, no matter if we change the order of the notes from bottom to top,
or if we add other same name notes in different octaves. Beautiful sounding harmonies can be built in this manner, and
emotional music can be created by playing different chords one after the other according to commonly accepted rules.
Harmony determines the nature of chords, and music is created based on harmony.

● Chord names
From the chord name, you can tell at a glance what type of chord it is and which notes
make up the chord. Understanding the basic structure of chords is very useful—once
you’re familiar with this, you’ll be quickly and easily play chords by looking at the
names that appear above the notation.

■ MIDI settings
These settings should be made when transmitting/receiving performance
data to a connected MIDI device or computer.

Local Settings
Local Control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument
are sounded by its internal tone generator system; the internal tone generator is active when local control is on, and inactive when local control is off.
On ........ This is the normal setting in which notes played on the instrument’s keyboard are sounded by the internal tone generator
system. Data received via the instrument’s MIDI terminal
will also be played by the internal tone generator.
Off ....... With this setting the instrument itself produces no sound
(keyboard performance, Harmony, or Style playback), but the
performance data is transmitted via the MIDI terminal. Data
received via the instrument’s MIDI terminal will also be
played by the internal tone generator.
You can set the Local Control in the Function Settings (page 56).

NOTE

• If you can’t get any sound
out of the instrument, Local
Control may be the most
likely cause. Playing the
keyboard results in no
sound when Local is set to
OFF.

Troubleshooting
Problem

Possible Cause and Solution

When the instrument is turned on or off, a
popping sound is temporarily produced.

This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical
power.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.

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.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is
played or when a Song or Style is being
played back.

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.)

Playing keys in the right hand area of the
keyboard does not produce any 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 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 batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely
new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.

The Style or Song does not play back when
the [START/STOP] button is pressed.

Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF;
refer to “External Clock Settings” on page 60.
Make sure that the Style Volume (page 51) is set to an appropriate level.

The Style does not sound properly.

Is the Split Point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing?
Set the Split Point at an appropriate key (page 44).
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.

No rhythm accompaniment plays when the
[START/STOP] button is pressed after
selecting Style number 098-106 (Pianist).

This is not a malfunction. Style number 098-106 (Pianist) have no
rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will begin playing
when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard if
auto accompaniment is turned on.

Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the
sound seems to be cut off.

The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual
voice or Split voice is being used and a style or Song is playing back at
the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the
accompaniment or Song.

The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and
releasing it sustains the sounds.

The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch
plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the
power.

The sound of the voice changes from note to
note.

This is normal. 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.

The ACMP ON indicator does not appear
when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.

Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any
style-related function.

The harmony doesn’t sound.

The method of sounding the harmony effect (01-26) differs depending on
the selected type. For Types 01-05, turn the Auto Accompaniment on
and play it by pressing a chord in the auto accompaniment section of the
keyboard, then play some keys in the right-hand side to get the harmony
effect. For Types 06-26, turning the Auto Accompaniment on or off has
no effect. However, it is necessary to play two notes simultaneously for
Types 06-12.

The part indications, such as Right, Left and
Both Hands, do not appear—even when
pressing the [R] or [L] buttons for the Lesson.

Make sure that you are not pressing the [R] or [L] buttons while the Song
is playing. If you press one of the part buttons while playing the Song
and before starting the Lesson, these buttons serve to mute the corresponding Song tracks. Stop the Song first, then select the desired part
and start the Lesson.

Voice List
■ Maximum Polyphony • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

NOTE

The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means that
it can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once, regardless of
what functions are used. Auto accompaniment uses a number of
the available notes, so when auto accompaniment is used the total
number of available notes for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the Split Voice and Song
functions. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded, earlier played
notes will be cut off and the most recent notes have priority (last
note priority).

• The Voice List includes MIDI program
change numbers for each voice. Use these
program change numbers when playing the
instrument via MIDI from an external device.
• Program Numbers 001 to 128 directly relate
to MIDI Program Change Numbers 000 to
127. That is, Program Numbers and Program
Change Numbers differ by a value of 1.
Remember to take this into consideration.
• Some voices may sound continuously or
have a long decay after the notes have been
released while the sustain pedal (footswitch)
is held.

The voice number with an asterisk (*) is XGlite optional voice.

Drum Kit List
• “
” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.
• Each percussion voice uses one note.
• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example, in
“109: Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).
• Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.
• Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 … 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are designed
to be played alternately with each other.)

Description
If you want to sound one of the harmony types 01-05, play keys to the right side of the Split
Point while playing chords in the left side of the keyboard after turning Auto Accompaniment on. One, two or three notes of harmony are automatically added to the note you
play. When playing back a Song that includes chord data, harmony is applied whichever
keys are played.

If you keep holding down two different notes, the notes alternate (in a trill) continuously.

If you keep holding down a single note, the note is repeated continuously.
(The repeat speed differs depending on the selected type.)

If you keep holding down a note, echo is applied to the note played.
(The echo speed differs depending on the selected type.)
