PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe 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:

• 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 (PA-5D, PA-3C or an equivalent recommended by

Yamaha) 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 place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,

and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects

on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll

anything over it.

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it

should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it

inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into

any openings.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a

sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or

smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,

disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected

by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

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:

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during

electrical storms.

• 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.

• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity

markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, ﬁre, or battery ﬂuid

leakage.

• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together

with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with

manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of

batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, ﬁre, or battery

ﬂuid leakage.

DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner’s Manual

Setting Up

Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.

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.

■

Using an AC Power Adaptor



Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the

instrument is set to STANDBY.

 Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, PA-3C or other

adaptor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to the

power supply jack.

 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

■ Using Batteries

 Open the battery compartment cover located on the

instrument’s bottom panel.

 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow

the polarity markings on the inside of the compart-

ment.

 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it

locks ﬁrmly in place.

For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V

“D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline

batteries are recommended.) When battery power

becomes too low for proper operation, the battery

exchange indication ﬂashes in the display. As soon as

this message appears, make sure to replace all batter-

ies, following the precautions listed below.

If necessary, also make sure to save all important User

data (see page 42), since custom panel settings are

lost when the batteries are removed.

Power Requirements

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D or PA-3C AC Power Adaptor (or

other adaptor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to power

your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors

may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the

instrument.

WARNING

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument,

or during electrical storms.

CAUTION

PA-5D or

PA-3C

AC outlet





• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from

the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are

installed.

NOTE

• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument.

Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may

have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low,

possibly resulting in loss of data in the ﬂash memory.

• Make sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintain-

ing 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 is not to be in use for a long time, remove the bat-

teries from it, in order to prevent possible ﬂuid leakage from the

battery.

• 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.

CAUTION

Setting Up

DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner’s Manual 11

Make all necessary connections BEFORE turning the power on.

The DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 speakers are automat-

ically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.

The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an exter-

nal output.

You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a key-

board ampliﬁer, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or

other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s

output signal to that device.

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain

as you play by pressing an optional footswitch. Plug the

Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it

to switch sustain on and off.

Connect the instrument’s USB terminal to the USB ter-

minal of a computer, and you can transfer performance

data and song ﬁles between the two (page 66).

To use the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do

the following:

• Connect the USB terminal of the computer to the

USB terminal on the instrument using a standard

USB cable.

• Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.

Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on

page 71.

With this capability you can, for example, use the

Musicsoft Downloader software provided on the sup-

plied CD-ROM to transfer songs from your computer to

the instrument’s ﬂash memory.

Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOL-

UME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON]

switch to turn on the power. Pressing the switch again

turns the power off.

Backup data in the ﬂash memory (page 42) is loaded to

the instrument when the power is turned on. If no

backup data exists on ﬂash memory, all instrument set-

tings are restored to the initial factory defaults when the

power is turned on.

Connecting headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT jack)

Connecting a footswitch (SUSTAIN JACK)

•Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long peri-

ods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be

damaging to your hearing.

WARNING

•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.

CAUTION

• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUS-

TAIN jack before turning on the power.

• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this

changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed

footswitch operation.

NOTE

Connecting to a computer (USB terminal)

Turn on the power

• Make sure to purchase a quality USB cable at a musical instrument

store, computer store or electrical appliance store.

NOTE

• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, a small

amount of electricity is still being consumed by the instrument.

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.

The Easy Way To Play Piano

This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature that lets

you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even though you

might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any notes and still

sound good! So even if you can’t play piano and can’t read a note of music,

you can have some musical fun.

The secret to the performance assistant technology’s ability to turn random playing into music is divulged on page 16.

Enjoy the feature for a while ﬁrst, then read about how its done.

Press the [SONG] button.

The song number and name will be displayed. You can use the dial or other

selection controls to select a different song.

Select a song.

Rotate the dial and watch the displayed song names – for this example we’ll

select song “026 Twinkle Star.”

Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button.

This turns on the performance assistant technology feature.

Icon will appear after displaying “PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT”.

To use the performance assistant technology you must be playing a song that includes chord data.

Press the [START/STOP] button.

Song playback will begin.

Use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the overall volume.

Play on the keyboard.

To begin, try to feel the rhythm of the song. Then, with your hands spread as

shown in the illustration, simply play the keyboard alternately with your left and

right hands (any notes will do).

How does it sound? You’ll get acceptable results no matter where you play

thanks to performance assistant technology!

Next try the three playing methods illustrated below. Different ways of playing

produce different results.

Once you get a feel for it, try playing chords with your left hand and a melody

with your right … or any other combination.

Song playback will stop automatically when the song has played all the way

through.

You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button.

When you want to end performance assistant technology operation press the

— The Secret Of performance assistant technology —

How It Creates Music From Random Notes

Performance assistant technology reads the chord data from the song and only assigns notes that will “work” at that

moment to the keyboard. Since the chords of a song are constantly changing, different notes and chords will be pro-

duced even if you repeatedly play the same keys.

● Songs That Can Be Used With the performance assistant technology

Performance assistant technology can only be used with songs that include chord data. Preset Songs can be used with

performance assistant technology since the songs include chord data.

● External Songs and the performance assistant technology

In addition to the instrument’s internal songs, the 70 songs provided on the Accessory CD-ROM (page 70) can be used

with performance assistant technology. A list of the MIDI songs included on the Accessory CD-ROM is provided on

page 85.

Songs downloaded from the Internet can also be used with performance assistant technology as long as they include

the required chord data. Transfer song ﬁles you want to use from your computer to the instrument’s ﬂash memory

(page 68).
