Setting Up Power Requirements Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recom- mends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than bat- teries and does not deplete resources. Using an AC Power Adaptor 1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off (display is blank, except for notation staff). À\ WARNING + Use the specified adaptor (page 38) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. 2 Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack. 3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet. À\ CAUTION + When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trou- ble 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.

AG power AC outlet adaptor Using Batteries This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline (LR6)/Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni- MH batteries are recommended for this instrument, since other types may result in poorer battery perfor- mance. WARNING + When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that came with the batteries. Use only the specified charger device when charging. 10 PSR-E243/YPT-240 Owners Manual Minstalling the batteries 1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off (display is blank, except for notation staff). 2 Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel. 3 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compart- ment.

4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place. NOTICE + Connecting or disconnecting the power adaptor with bat- teries installed may tum the power off, resulting in loss of data being recorded or transferred at the time. When battery power becomes too low for proper oper- ation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may oceur. When this happens, make sure to replace all batteries with new ones or already-recharged ones. + This instrument cannot charge the batteries. Use only the specified charger device when charging. + Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the instrument.

# Setting the battery type After installing new batteries and turning the power on, make sure to set the Battery Type appropriately (rechargeable or not) via Function number 025 (page 25). NOTICE + Failure to set the Battery Type may shorten the amount of the battery life. Make sure to set the Battery Type correctly. Using the music rest Insert the music rest into the slots as shown. Connecting Headphones or External Audio Equipment 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. CAUTION + Do not use the instrumentidevice or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. lf you experi- ence any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a phy- sician. + Before connecting the instrument to other electronic com- ponents, set all volume levels to the minimum, then turn off the power for all components. Setting Up

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.

Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause and Solution When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarly 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 inter- ference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument. Noise is heard from the instruments speakers or head- phones 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. 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 setting. (See page 25 Function 015.) Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound. When using the Dictionary function (page 19), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type 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 a style or Song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or ‘sto- len') from the accompaniment or Song. 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 “Function Setings” on page 25 (Function 016). 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 Style does not sound proper. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 24 Function 001) is set to an appropri- ate level. 1s the Split Point set to an appropriate key for the chords you are playing? Set the Split Point to an appropriate key (page 24 Function 005). Is the ‘ACMP ON" indicator showing in the display? fit is not showing, press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show. The Style does not sound as you play a chord. +_ The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g., some minor chords followed by the minor sev- enth). + Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord. + Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompani- ment based only on the root. The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the oppo- site 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 footsuitch plug is properiy 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 slightiy different from note to note. The volume is too so. The sound quality is poor. The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play. The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play cor- rectiy. The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings are reset. The batteries are low or dead. Replace al six batteries with completely new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor. Power suddenly and unexpectediy turns of. This is normal and the Auto Power Off function may have been activated (page 12). If you need to disable the Auto Power Of function, select “Off” in the Function settings (page 25 Function 024) PSR-E243/YPT-240 Owner's Manual

Voice List Maximum Polyphony 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 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). Panel Voice List + 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 Pro- gram Change Numbers differ by a value of 1.
