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:

Power supply/AC adaptor

Connections

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for
extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

Handling caution
Assembly

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument. Also
take care that the key cover does not pinch your finger.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.
Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in
damage to the instrument or even injury.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key
cover, panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others,
damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.
• 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.

Location
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more people.
Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself may damage your back, result in
other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage
to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily
accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power
switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is
turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When
you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power
cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones 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.

Using the bench (If included)
• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall
over.
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder
or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them
periodically using the included tool.

• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching it, use the
provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal
components or result in the instrument falling over.

• Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of
the bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may
result in accident or injury.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

The model number, serial number, power requirements, etc., may be found on
or near the name plate, which is at the bottom of the unit. You should note this
serial number in the space provided below and retain this manual as a permanent record of your purchase to aid identification in the event of theft.

Description

Setting range: 414.8 – 440.0 – 466.8 Hz
Fixed

The volume level does not change at all
regardless of whether you play the keyboard soft or hard.

Soft

The volume level does not change
much when you play the keyboard soft
or hard.

Medium

This is the standard piano touch
response (default setting).

Hard

The volume level changes very widely
from pianissimo to fortissimo to facilitate dynamic and dramatic expression.
You have to hit the keys hard to produce a loud sound.

You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument in
approximately 0.2 Hz increments. This lets you accurately match the keyboard pitch to that of other
instruments or CD music.

To lower the pitch:
While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION],
press the G#6 key repeatedly to lower the pitch in
approximately 0.2 Hz increments.

To raise the pitch:

NOTE

While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION],
press the A6 key repeatedly to raise the pitch in
approximately 0.2 Hz increments.

The Touch Sensitivity settings may have little or no effect with the
PIPE ORGAN and HARPSICHORD Voices, since these
instruments are not normally responsive to keyboard dynamics.

To set the pitch to A3 = 442 Hz:
While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION],
press the A#6 key.

Transposing the Pitch in Semitones
You can shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or
down in semitone in order to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, or to easily match the pitch of
the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if “+5” is selected, playing key C
produces pitch F, letting you play a song of F major as
though it were in C major.

To reset the pitch to the default (A3 =
440 Hz):
While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION],
press the B6 key.
G#6 (-0.2 Hz) A#6 (442.0 Hz)

Soft Pedal (Left)
Pressing this pedal will reduce the volume and
slightly change the timbre of the notes. The notes
played before this pedal is pressed are not affected.

Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer.
Releasing this pedal immediately stops (damps)
any sustained notes. This pedal also features a
“half-pedal” function that creates partial sustain
effects, depending on how far down you press the
pedal.

When you press the damper pedal here,
this note and the notes you play before you
release the pedal sustain longer.

NOTE
If the damper pedal doesn’t work, make sure that the pedal cord
is properly plugged into the main unit (page 23).

Half-pedal function
This function allows you to vary the sustain length depending on
how far the pedal is pressed. The farther down you press the
pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if you press the
damper pedal and all notes you are playing sound a bit murky
and loud with too much sustain, you can release the pedal half
way or higher to decrease the sustain (murkiness).

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
Pressing this pedal while holding the notes will
sustain the pressed notes (as if the Damper Pedal
had been pressed), but all subsequently played
notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible
to sustain a chord or single low note, for example,
while the other notes are played “staccato.”

When you press the sostenuto pedal here
while holding the note, the note will sustain as
long as you hold the pedal.

NOTE
While the sostenuto pedal is held, the organ and strings Voices
sound continuously without decay after the notes have been
released.

Troubleshooting
Problem

Possible Cause and Solution

Power suddenly and
unexpectedly turns off.

This is normal and the Auto Power Off function may have been activated (page 13).
If desired, disable the Auto Power Off function.

The instrument does not
turn on.

The plugs are not properly connected. Make sure that the DC plug is securely inserted into
the DC IN jack on the instrument, and that the AC plug is securely inserted to the AC outlet
(page 12).

A click or pop is heard when
the power is turned on or off.

This is normal when electrical current is being applied to the instrument.

Noise is heard from the
speakers or headphones.

The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone in close
proximity to this instrument. Turn off the mobile phone, or move it further away from this
instrument.

Noise is heard from the
instrument’s speakers or
headphones when using the
instrument with the application
on iPhone/iPad.

When you use the instrument along with the application on your iPhone/iPad, we recommend
that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your iPhone/iPad in order to avoid noise caused by
communication. While Bluetooth is connected, setting “Airplane Mode” to “ON” disconnects
Bluetooth; however, the connection can be restored by reconnecting again.

The overall volume is low, or no
sound is heard.

The Master Volume is set too low. Set it to an appropriate level using the [MASTER VOLUME]
knob (page 12).
Make sure a pair of headphones or conversion adaptor is not connected to the [PHONES]
jack (page 13).

Pedals do not function.

The pedal cord may not be securely connected to the [TO PEDAL] jack. Be sure to insert the
pedal cord all the way until the metal part of the cord plug disappears from view (page 23).

The damper pedal does not
function as expected.

The damper pedal was pressed when the power was turned on. This is not a malfunction;
release the pedal and press it again to reset the function.
