PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

Please keep this manual in a safe and handy 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

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also, do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on it.
• 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 (page 100) 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 open

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

Water warning

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

- 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

- When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then have the device inspected by Yamaha service personnel.

• The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
• It emits unusual smells or smoke.
• Some object has been dropped into the instrument.
• There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.

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 power adaptor

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

Location

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Do not place objects in front of the instrument's air vent, since this may prevent adequate ventilation of the internal components, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.
• 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.
• Use only the stand specified 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.

Connections

• 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.
• 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.

Handling caution

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel. 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.
• 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.

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 (display 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.

NOTICE

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.

■ Handling and Maintenance

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
• 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 disfiguration, damage to the internal components or unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range: 5^-40^ , or 41^-104^ .)
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

■ Saving data

• The edited Songs/Styles/Voices/Multi Pads and MIDI settings are lost when you turn off the power of the instrument without saving. Save the edited data to the instrument (USER tab display) or a USB flash memory (USB tab display); see page 24. Moreover, it is safer to save the data to a USB flash memory, because the data in the USER tab display may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. To protect against data loss through USB flash memory damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two USB flash memories.
• Data other than above (edited Songs/Styles/Voices/Multi Pads and MIDI settings) is automatically stored, when you change the settings in a display page and then exit from that page. However, the data is lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the relevant display.

Formats

The instrument is compatible with the following formats.

“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects.

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played.

“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.

UPPER OCTAVE

Fine-tuning the pitch of the entire instrument

Although the entire pitch of this instrument is set to 440.0 Hz by default, you can fine-tune the pitch from

[FUNCTION] → [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE → TAB [◀][▶] MASTER TUNE.

You can also adjust the pitch for each part (keyboard parts, Style parts and Song parts) on the TUNE page of the Mixing Console display (page 86).

For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

Fine-tuning the pitch for each note individually

Although the scale of this instrument is set to Equal Temperament by default, you can change the scale or fine-tune the pitch for each note from [FUNCTION] → [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE → TAB [◀][▶] SCALE TUNE.

For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

Using the Pitch Bend Wheel

Use the PITCH BEND wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. The Pitch Bend is applied to all the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT). The PITCH BEND wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released.

PITCH BEND MODULATION

The maximum pitch bend range can be changed on the Mixing Console display: [MIXING CONSOLE] → TAB [◀][▶] TUNE → [H] PITCH BEND RANGE.

Using the Modulation Wheel

The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. By default, this is applied to the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT). Moving the MODULATION wheel down (toward you) decreases the depth of the effect, while moving it up (away from you) increases it.

PITCH BEND MODULATION

You can set whether the effects caused by the MODULATION Wheel will be applied or not to each of the keyboard part: [FUNCTION] → [D] CONTROLLER → TAB [◀][▶] KEYBOARD/PANEL → [A]/[B] 2 MODULATION WHEEL.

NOTE

The effects caused by using the PITCH BEND Wheel are not applied to the rhythm parts of the Style.

NOTE

Depending on the selected Voice, the MODULATION wheel effect is not applied to the rhythm parts of the Style.

NOTE

To avoid accidentally applying modulation, make sure the MODULATION Wheel is set at minimum (down) position before you start playing.

NOTE

The effects caused by using the MOD-ULATION wheel may not be applied to the LEFT part during Style playback depending on the Style setting.

Applying Voice Effects

You can apply some effects to the keyboard performance. The effects can be turned on or off by using the following buttons.

VOICE CONTROL HARMONY/ ECHO TOUCH SUSTAIN MONO DSP ...... VARL These three effect systems are applied to the currently selected keyboard part (RIGHT 1, 2, or LEFT).

• HARMONY/ECHO

The Harmony/Echo effects are applied to the right-hand Voices. Refer to “Applying Harmony to Your Right-hand Melody” on page 40.

- TOUCH

This button turns the touch response of the keyboard on or off. When off, the same volume is produced no matter how strongly or softly you play the keyboard.

- SUSTAIN

When this Sustain function is on, all notes played on the keyboard with right-hand part (RIGHT 1 and 2) have a longer sustain.

• MONO

When this button is on, the part's Voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time). Using the MONO mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento effect (depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato.

When this button is off, the part's Voice played polyphonically.

- DSP/DSP VARI.

With the digital effects built into the instrument, you can add ambience and depth to your music in a variety of ways — such as adding reverb that makes you sound like you are playing in a concert hall.

The [DSP] button is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off for the currently selected keyboard part.

Although many of the Voices have been automatically set to play the certain DSP types to match the particular Voice, you can change the type. On the Voice Selection display, select [6 ▲] (VOICE SET) → TAB [◀][▶] EFFECT/EQ → [A]/[B] 2 DSP. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

The [DSP VARI.] button is used to change between variations of the DSP effect. You could use this while you play, for example, to change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect.

NOTE

Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next.

Applying Harmony to Your Right-hand Melody (HARMONY/ECHO)

Among the Voice Effects, Harmony is one of the most impressive. When the Harmony/Echo is on, the Harmony effect is applied to the right-hand Voices depending on the chord played with your left hand.

1 Turn the [HARMONY/ECHO] button on.
2 Turn on both the [ACMP] button and [SYNC START] button (page 43) and make sure that the RIGHT 1 part is on (page 32).
3 Play a chord with your left hand to start the Style (page 44) and play some notes in the right-hand range of the keyboard.

Split Point Chord section

In this example, harmony notes in the scale of C major (the chord played in the left hand) are automatically added to the notes played in the right-hand range of the keyboard.

You can also use the Harmony effect with the Style stopped. Simply hold down a chord with your left hand and play a melody with your right.

Although many of the Voices have been automatically set to play the certain Harmony/Echo types to match the particular Voice, you can change the type via [FUNCTION] → [G] (HARMONY/ECHO). For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

NOTE

Depending on the harmony/echo type, harmony will be applied even when the [ACMP] button is off.

Creating Your Original Organ Flutes Voices

You can create original Organ Flutes Voices by editing the Preset Organ Flutes Voices. Just as on a traditional organ, the original Voices can be created by increasing and decreasing the levels of the flute footages. The created Voices can be saved and called up anytime.

1 Press the [ORGAN FLUTES] button.

The FOOTAGE Page of the Voice Set display of the Organ Flutes Voice is called up.

The term “footage” is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet).

2 Use the [1 ] - [8 ] buttons to adjust the footage settings.

The footage settings determine the basic sound of the Organ Flutes.

The [1 ▲▼] buttons control two footages: 16' and 5 1/3'. Pressing the [D] button switches between these two footages.

For details on the VOLUME/ATTACK Page and EFFECT/EQ Page, see the Reference Manual on the website.

If you want, you can select the Organ type, change the Rotary Speaker speed and adjust the Vibrato setting, by using the [A] – [C] and [F] – [H] buttons.

[A]/[B]	ORGAN TYPE	Specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated. Sine produces a clean, clear sound and Vintage produces a gritty, slightly distorted sound.
[C]	ROTARY SP SPEED	Alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker speeds when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes (DSP TYPE parameter in the EFFECT/EQ Page), and the VOICE CONTROL [DSP] button is turned on.
[F]/[G]	VIBRATO	Alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes Voice ON or OFF.
[H]	VIBRATO DEPTH	Sets the Vibrato depth to one of three levels: 1 (low), 2 (mid), or 3 (high).
[I]	PRESETS	Opens the File Selection display of the Organ Flutes Voices for selecting a preset Organ Flutes Voice.

Audio Styles (PSR-S950 only)

The +Audio Styles have been specially produced by adding audio recordings of studio musicians playing in various recording studios worldwide. This adds all the natural feel, ambience and warmth to the drums and percussion of the Style, giving your performance greater expressive potential. Specifically, it retains the subtle nuances and grooves that are difficult to reproduce using the preset drum/percussion kit. Yamaha Time Stretch Technology allows the audio to follow your tempo changes without changing pitch, so everything stays in perfect sync.

140% of the default tempo STYLE +Audio J=1 [194] Pro HardRock +Audio J=1 [204] Pro BritRockPop +etroSoul Pro 80sPowerRock J=121 Pro Live8Beat

NOTE

• If the tempo is set to over 140% of the default, the audio part is muted.
• Keep in mind that the Audio Styles may take more time to load than others, and that they may have certain restrictions and differ in the specific functions that can be handled.

In addition to Audio Styles, various other types of Style Characteristics are available. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

Changing the Chord Fingering Type

By changing the chord fingering type, you can automatically produce appropriate accompaniment even if you don't press all of the notes which comprise a chord. Chord fingering type can be changed from: [FUNCTION] → [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING → TAB [◀][▶] CHORD FINGERING.

Following types can be selected, for example.

- Single Finger

This method lets you easily play chords in the accompaniment range of the keyboard using only one, two or three fingers.

C

Major chord
Press the root key only.

Cm

Minor chord
Simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.

C7

Seventh chord
Simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.

Cm7

Minor seventh chord
Simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.

- AI Full Keyboard

Playing just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands – like playing the piano – produces appropriate accompaniment. You don’t have to worry about specifying the chords. (Depending on the song arrangement, AI Full Keyboard may not always produce appropriate accompaniment.)

For other types, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

This chapter covers the terminals and jacks of this instrument. For details on the locations of these connectors, refer to “Panel Controls and Terminals” on pages 12 – 13.

CAUTION

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components. Also, before turning any components on or off, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, damage to the components, electrical shock, or even permanent hearing loss may occur.

Connecting a Microphone or Guitar ([MIC/LINE IN] jack)

YAMAHA PSR-S850 MIN MAX MIC/ LINE IN INPUT VOLUME MIC LINE

To the [MIC/LINE IN] jack (standard 1/4" phone jack), you can connect a microphone, guitar, or other various equipment. For instructions on connecting a microphone, refer to page 82.

Note that you need to select “MIC” or “LINE IN” depending on the connected equipment. When the output level of the connected equipment (such as a microphone, guitar, bass) is low, set the [MIC LINE] switch to “MIC.” When the output level of the connected equipment (such as a synthesizer, keyboard, CD player) is high, set the [MIC LINE] switch to “LINE.”

Connecting Audio Devices (OUTPUT [L/L+R]/[R] jacks, [AUX IN] jack)

Using an External Stereo System for Playback

You can connect a stereo system to amplify the instrument's sound by using the OUTPUT [L/L+R]/[R] jacks. When using the PSR-S950, the microphone or guitar sound connected to the instrument's [MIC/LINE IN] jack is output at the same time.

YAMAHA PSR-S550 R OUTPUT L/L+R Phone plug (standard) Audio cable Powered speaker Input jack Phone plug (standard)

When these are connected, you can use the instrument's [MASTER VOLUME] dial to adjust the volume of the sound output to the external device.

NOTE

Use audio cables and adaptor plugs having no (zero) resistance.

NOTE

Use only the [L/L+R] jack for connection with a monaural device.

NOTICE

When the instrument's sound is output to an external device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the power off. Otherwise, damage to the instrument and external device may occur. Because this instrument's power may automatically be turned off due to the Auto Power Off function (page 15), turn off the power to the external device, or disable the Auto Power Off when you do not intend to operate the instrument for a while.

NOTICE

Do not route the output from the [OUTPUT] jacks to the [AUX IN] jack. If you make this connection, the signal input at the [AUX IN] jack is output from the [OUTPUT] jacks. These connections could result in a feedback loop that will make normal performance impossible, and may even damage the equipment.

Playing a Portable Audio Player with the Built-in Speakers

You can connect the headphone jack of a portable audio player to the instrument's [AUX IN] jack, letting you hear the sound of that portable audio player through the built-in speakers of the instrument.

Overall
A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off.	Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal.
Noise is heard from the instrument's speakers.	Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the instrument or if the phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the instrument.
There is a slight difference in sound quality among different notes played on the keyboard.	This is normal and is a result of the instrument's sampling system.
Some Voices have a looping sound.
Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher pitches, depending upon the Voice.
The overall volume is too low or no sound is heard.	The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial.
	All keyboard parts are set to off. Use the PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]/[RIGHT 2]/[LEFT] button to turn it on.
	The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 53).
	Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (pages 52, 57).
	Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the headphones.
	The [FADE IN/OUT] button is on, muting the sound. Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button to turn the function off.
The sound is distorted or noisy.	The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant vol-ume settings are appropriate.
	This may be caused by certain effects or filter settings. Check the effect or filter settings and change them accordingly, referring to the Reference Manual.
Not all simultaneously played notes sound.	You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 99) of the instrument. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound.
The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style playback vol-ume.	The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 53).
The Main display does not appear even when turning the power on.	This may occur if a USB flash memory has been installed to the instrument. Installation of some USB flash memories may result a long interval between turning the power on and appearance of the Main display. To avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the device.
Some characters of the file/folder name are garbled.	The language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for the file/folder name (page 16).
An existing file is not shown.	The file extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed or deleted. Manually rename the file, adding the appropriate extension, on a computer.
	Data files with names of more than 50 characters cannot be han-dled by the instrument. Rename the file, reducing the number of characters to 50 or less.
When the power is turned on, the message “The USB storage devices cannot be authenticated” appears.	If a protected Expansion Pack is installed to the instrument, in order to use the Voices or Styles contained in the Expansion Pack you need to connect the USB flash memory which was used for installing. Connect the proper USB flash memory to the instrument and turn the power to the instrument on again.
Voice
The Voice selected from the Voice Selection display does not sound.	Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 35). If necessary, press the appropriate PART ON/OFF button to turn the part on.
A strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound occurs. The sound is slightly different each time the keys are played.	The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts are set to “ON,” and both parts are set to play the same Voice. Turn off the RIGHT 2 part or change the Voice of one of the parts.
Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when played in the upper or lower registers.	This is normal. Some Voices have a pitch limit which, when reached, causes this type of pitch shift.
Style
The Style does not start even when the [START/STOP] button is pressed.	The Rhythm channel of the selected Style may not contain any data. Turn the [ACMP] button on and play left-hand section on the keyboard to sound the accompaniment part of the Style.
Only the rhythm channel plays.	Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the [ACMP] button.
	You may be playing keys in the right hand range of the keyboard. Make sure to play keys in the chord range of the keyboard.
Styles in a USB flash memory cannot be selected.	If the size of the Style data is large (about 120 KB or greater), the Style cannot be selected because the data is too large to be handled by the instrument.
Song
Songs cannot be selected.	This may be because the language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for the Song file name.
	If the size of the Song data is large (about 300 KB or greater), the Song cannot be selected because the data is too large to be handled by the instrument.
Song playback does not start.	The Song has been stopped at the end of the Song data. Return to the beginning of the Song by pressing the SONG [■] (STOP) button.
Song playback stops before the Song is finished.	The Guide function is turned on. (In this case, playback is “waiting” for the correct key to be played.) Press the [GUIDE] button to turn off the guide function.
The measure number is different from that of the score in the Song Position display, shown by pressing the [◀](REW)/[▶](FF) buttons.	This happens when playing back music data for which a specific, fixed tempo is set.
When playing back a Song, some channels do not play.	Playback of these channels may be set to “OFF.” Turn playback on for those channels that are set to “OFF” (page 57).
The tempo, beat, measure and music notation is not displayed correctly.	Some Song data for the instrument has been recorded with special “free tempo” settings. For such Song data, the tempo, beat, measure and music notation will not be displayed correctly.
USB Audio function
The message “This drive is busy now.” appeared, and then the recording was aborted.	Make sure to use a compatible USB flash memory (page 92).
	Make sure that the USB flash memory has enough memory (page 68).
	If you are using a USB flash memory to which data has already been recorded, check first that no important data remains on the device, then format it (page 93) and try recording again.
Audio files cannot be selected.	The file format may not be compatible with the instrument. The compatible formats are: MP3 and WAVE (PSR-S950), WAVE (PSR-S750). The DRM protected files cannot be played back.
Recorded file is played back at a different volume compared to when it was recorded.	The audio playback volume has been changed. Setting the volume value to 100 plays back the file at the same volume as when it was recorded (page 67).
Mixing Console
The sound seems strange or different than expected when changing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the Mixer.	When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the Style and Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings related to the drum voice are reset, and in some cases you may be unable to restore the original sound. In the case of Song playback, you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of the Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style play, you can restore the original sound by selecting the same Style again.
Microphone/Vocal Harmony (PSR-S950)
The microphone input signal cannot be recorded.	The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by Song recording. Use the USB Audio function (page 67).
Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone sound.	Vocal Harmony is set to “ON.” Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 83).
The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-of-tune.	Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as the Style sound from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal Harmony. To remedy this:Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.Use a unidirectional microphone.Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control (page 14, 53).
Foot Pedal
The on/off setting of the footswitch connected to the FOOT PEDAL jack is reversed.	Turn the instrument's power off, then turn it on again without pressing the footswitch.
[AUX IN] jack
Sound input to the [AUX IN] jack is interrupted.	The output volume of the external device connected to this instrument is too low. Increase the output volume of the external device. The volume level reproduced via this instrument can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOLUME] dial.
