dn Sumes 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. 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. À CAUTION + Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms. AC power

por > AC outlet 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 compart- ment. 3 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place. + Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed. 10 Owners Manual

For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V “AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline bat- teries 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). {À CAUTION + Be sure to install the batteries in the same direction, main- taining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corro- sive chemicals. + When the batteries run down, replace them with a com- plete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new bat- teries. Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time. + Ifthe 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 result- ing 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. I the batteries do become drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and the data currently in the transfer des- tination 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/OUT- PUT 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 elec- tric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradu- ally 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/FCS 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.

xipusddy 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 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 cor- rectly. The LCD display suddeniy 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 ISTART/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 properiy. 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 “Sere- nade” 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 donit sound when playing multiple notes simultaneously on the keyboard, or some notes donit sound when playing arpeggios. You have exceeded 82 simultaneous notes, which is the maximum polyph- ony (the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously) of the instrument. The instrument will play normally as long as no more than 82 notes are being played at once, both on the keyboard and by any auto- matic 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 record- ings (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 tumed on. Press the [P.A.T. ON/OFF] button to turn it off 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 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 instruments flash memory or a file on a USB flash memory con- nected 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. 96 Owners Manual
