Frequently Asked Questions - Arius YDP-144R YAMAHA

How do I turn off the Auto Power Off function?

While holding down the lowest key (A-1), press the [⏻] (Standby/On) switch to turn on the instrument. The [REC] indicator flashes three times, indicating Auto Power Off is disabled. Alternatively, hold down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously and press the A0 key to disable.

Can I use headphones?

Yes, connect standard stereo headphones to one of the two [PHONES] jacks on the bottom panel. The speakers will automatically mute. You can also set the speaker to always on or normal via a key combination (hold [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] and press D6, D#6, or E6).

How do I record my performance?

Press [REC] to enter Record Ready mode (quick recording records to the right-hand part). For individual parts, hold [REC] and press [+R] (right) or [-L] (left). Press [REC] or [PLAY] to start/stop recording. The recorded song is saved as the User Song.

What types of pedals are included?

The instrument has three pedals: Damper (right) for sustain with half-pedal function, Sostenuto (center) to sustain only notes held when pressed, and Soft (left) to reduce volume and change timbre. The left pedal also toggles rotary speed on Jazz Organ or vibrato on Vibraphone Voice.

How do I play Duo mode for two players?

Hold down [PIANO/VOICE] and press [+R] and [-L] simultaneously. The keyboard splits into two sections with the same octave range (split point at E3). Each section plays the same Voice. Press [PIANO/VOICE] again to exit Duo.

Can I connect the piano to a computer or smart device?

Yes, use a USB cable (AB type, less than 3m) to connect the [USB TO HOST] terminal to a computer or smart device. This allows MIDI data transfer, audio playback/recording (USB Audio Interface), and use of the Smart Pianist app for remote control.

How do I adjust the touch sensitivity?

While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press one of the keys C6 to D#6: C6 (Soft), C#6 (Medium – default), D6 (Hard), or D#6 (Fixed – no touch response). The setting affects how the volume changes with playing force.

What is the Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)?

IAC automatically adjusts sound quality based on overall volume so low and high frequencies remain clear even at low volumes. It is enabled by default. To toggle, hold [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] and press C#2 (on) or C2 (off). Depth can be adjusted from -3 to +3.

How do I transpose the keyboard?

Hold down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously and press a key between F#2 (transpose down 6 semitones) and F#3 (transpose up 6 semitones). Press C3 to reset to normal pitch. This affects both keyboard and song playback.

How do I clean and maintain the instrument?

Use a soft, dry (or slightly damp) cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, alcohol, or chemical wipes. In extreme temperature/humidity changes, wipe any condensation immediately to protect wooden parts. Periodically tighten bench screws if loose.

For YDP-164, YDP-144, YDP-S54

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 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 40) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
  • (YDP-164, YDP-S54) Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• 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, or 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.

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

• 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.

Assembly

• 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.
• (YDP-S54) Be sure to attach the anti-fall brackets to the instrument, to ensure stability. Failure to do so might result in damage to the instrument or even injury.

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.

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 key cover or instrument. Also take care that the key cover does not pinch your finger.
• 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.
• (YDP-S54) Do not apply excessive force when closing the key cover. A key cover equipped with the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism closes the cover slowly. Applying excessive force to the key cover when closing it could damage the SOFT-CLOSE™ mechanism, and possibly result in injury to your hands and fingers caught under the closing key cover.
• 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.

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 specified tool in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury.
• 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.

Switching the Auto Power Off Function (Enable/Disable)

While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the A#0 key to enable the Auto Power Off function or the A0 key to disable it.

Using Headphones

Since this instrument is equipped with two [PHONES] jacks, you can connect two sets of standard stereo headphones. If you are using only one set of headphones, insert a plug into either jack, which automatically shuts off the speakers according to the default setting.

CAUTION

Do not use headphones at a high volume for an extended period of time; doing so may cause hearing loss.

Speaker On/Off setting

You can set whether the sound of this instrument is always output from its built-in speaker or not. While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press one of the D6 – E6 key.

Off(D6 key)	The speaker will not sound.
On(D#6 key)	The speaker will always sound regardless of whether a set of headphones is connected or not.
Normal(E6 key)	The speaker will sound only if headphones are not connected. (This is the default setting.)

Reproducing a natural sense of distance (Stereophonic Optimizer)

The Stereophonic Optimizer gives you the feeling of playing an actual acoustic piano — even though you're listening through headphones. Normally, the sound comes out from headphones sounds very close to your ears. However, this Stereophonic Optimizer effect recreates a natural distance or the sense of physical space between your ears and the instrument, just as when playing an acoustic piano.

Default setting: On

While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press the F#3 key to turn the function on or the F3 key to turn the function off.

Playing the Piano

Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)

With this function, the sound quality of this instrument is automatically adjusted and controlled according to the overall volume. Even when the volume is low, this lets you hear both low sounds and high sounds clearly.

To turn on IAC:

While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the C#2 key.

To turn off IAC:

While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the C2 key.

Default setting: On

Setting range: -3 - +3

Default setting: 0 (D#2)

Using the Pedals

Damper Pedal (Right)

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.

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.”

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.

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

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

Using the Damper Resonance

The Damper Resonance effect simulates the sustain sound of the damper pedal on a grand piano, as if you were pressing the damper pedal and playing the keyboard. This effect is applied only to the Piano Voices (page 20).

To turn on the Damper Resonance:

While holding [PIANO/VOICE], press the C#3 key.

To turn off the Damper Resonance:

While holding [PIANO/VOICE], press the C3 key.

NOTE

If the damper pedal doesn't work, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the main unit (page 39).

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).

NOTE

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

NOTE

When Jazz Organ Voice (page 20) is selected, pressing the left pedal switches between fast/slow rotation of the rotary speaker. When the Vibraphone Voice (page 20) is selected, the left pedal switches Vibrato on and off.

Default setting:

On

About the latest Firmware Version

Yamaha may from time to time update firmware of the product without notice for improvement. Make sure to check our website for information of the latest release and upgrade the firmware for your instrument.

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 15). 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 14).
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 a smart device, such as an iPhone/iPad.	When you use the instrument along with the application on your smart device, we recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your smart device 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 11).
	Make sure a pair of headphones or conversion adaptor is not connected to the [PHONES] jack (page 15).
	The Speaker setting is “Off.” Set the Speaker to “Normal” or “On” (page 15).
	Make sure that Local Control is On. For details, refer to the “MIDI Reference” (page 9).
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 (pages 36, 39).
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.
