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. USB flash memory save, delete, and format operations can only be performed on the NP-V80 when the instrument is being powered from an AC adapter. These operations cannot be performed using battery power.

Using an AC Power Adaptor

WARNING

• Use the specified adaptor (page 97). The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument.

1 Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack.
2 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

CAUTION

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

Using Batteries

1 Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument's bottom panel.
2 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.
3 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.

NOTE

• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed.

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, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below. If necessary, also make sure to save all important User data (see pages 50, 88).

CAUTION

• Be sure to install the batteries in the same direction, 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 will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible fluid leakage.

NOTICE

• The use of alkaline batteries is recommended for this instrument. Other types of batteries may exhibit a sudden drop in power when the batteries are low, possibly resulting in a loss of flash memory data.
• 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.

Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on.

Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)

Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4" stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The 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

• 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.

CAUTION

• To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions 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.

Connecting a Footswitch or a Foot Pedal (SUSTAIN Jack)

The SUSTAIN jack is for connecting the footswitch or foot pedal. The pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Connect an included footswitch (NP-V80 only) or an optional

footswitch FC4/FC5 to this jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound. An optional FC3 foot pedal can also be connected to this jack.

If you connect an optional pedal of FC3, the half pedal function* can be used.

* half pedal function

While you playing the piano with SUSTAIN and if you need to delete the cloudy sound, release the foot from pedal to half position.

NOTE

• The sustain function does not affect split voices.
• Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the pedal.
• Do not press the pedal while turning the power on. Otherwise, the switch or pedal type (on/off) will be reversed.

Turning the Power On

The switch turns the power to the instrument on or standby. Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the left and press the switch to turn on the power. Press the switch again to turn the power standby.

While playing the keyboard, adjust the volume level by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control.

CAUTION

• Even when the switch is standby, 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 AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/ or remove the batteries from the instrument.

Connecting a Personal Computer

MIDI Basics

If you want to know more about MIDI and how to use it, refer to this introductory book. MIDI Basics is available for downloading from the Yamaha Manual Library at:

In order to be able to communicate with and use instruments connected to your computer, the appropriate driver software must be properly installed on your computer. The USB-MIDI driver allows sequence software and similar applications on your computer to transmit and receive MIDI data to and from MIDI devices via a USB cable. The USB-MIDI driver is included on the CD-ROM. Installation of the USB-MIDI driver is described on page 91.

CAUTION

• Connect the instrument to external equipment only after turning off power for all devices. Then, turn on the power, first to the instrument, then to the connected external equipment. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.

Precautions when using the USB TO HOST terminal

When connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST terminal, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so risks freezing the computer and corrupting or losing the data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, restart the application software or the computer OS, or turn the power to the instrument off then on again.

• Use an AB type USB cable of less than about 3 meters.
• Before connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST terminal, exit from any power-saving mode of the computer (such as suspended, sleep, standby).
• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the computer to the USB TO HOST terminal.

• Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB cable to/from the USB TO HOST terminal.

• Quit any open application software on the computer.

• Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted whenever you play on the keyboard or play back a song, etc.)

• While the computer is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these operations: (1) when turning the power of the instrument off then on again, or (2) when alternately connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.

Transferring Performance Data to and from a Computer

By connecting the instrument to a computer, the instrument's performance data can be used on the computer, and performance data from the computer can be played on the instrument.

MIDI settings

These settings pertain to performance data transmission and reception.

Item	Display	Range/ Settings	Description
Local	Local	ON/OFF	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.
External Clock	ExtClock	ON/OFF	These settings determine whether the instrument is synchronized to its own internal clock (OFF), or to a clock signal from an external device (ON).
Keyboard Out	KbdOut	ON/OFF	These settings determine whether keyboard performance data of the instrument is transmitted (ON) or not (OFF).
Style Out	StyleOut	ON/OFF	These settings determine whether Style data is transmitted (ON) or not (OFF) during Style playback.
Song Out	SongOut	ON/OFF	These settings determine whether User Song is transmitted (ON) or not (OFF) during Song playback.

If you can't get any sound out of the instrument, this may be the most likely cause.

If External Clock is ON and no clock signal is being received from an external device, the song, style, and metronome functions will not start.

Press the [FUNCTION] button.

2 Use the CATEGORY [A] and [Y] buttons to select the item you want to change its value.

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 85.)
Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound.	When using the Dictionary function (page 68), 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” on page 85.
The style does not sound properly.	Make sure that the Style Volume (page 64) is set to an appropriate level.
	Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 65).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 the “Serenade” style in the Waltz category and all styles in the Pianist category.	This is not a malfunction. The “Serenade” style in the Waltz category and all styles in the Pianist category styles 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 style playback 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.
Some notes don’t sound when playing multiple notes simultaneously on the keyboard, or some notes don’t sound when playing areggios.	You have exceeded 32 simultaneous notes, which is the maximum polyphony (the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously) of the instrument. The instrument will play normally as long as no more than 32 notes are being played at once, both on the keyboard and by any automatic playback functions.
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 wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played.	Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on. Press the [P.A.T. ON/OFF] button to turn it off.
The ACPI 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 USB device does not respond.	Disconnect the device from the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, then turn on the power of the instrument.
The file name of a file transferred to the instrument's flash memory or a file on a USB flash memory connected to the instrument is not displayed.	The number of file names that can be shown on the display is limited to 500 for song files and 100 for style files. Please limit the number of files accordingly.
