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

• 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.

• Do not touch the product or the power plug during

an electrical storm.

• Use only the correct voltage specified for the

product. The required voltage is printed on the

name plate of the product.

• Use only the supplied or the specified AC adaptor

(page 118)/power cord. Do not use the AC

adaptor/power cord for other devices.

• Check the power plug periodically and remove

any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on

it.

• Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the

AC outlet. Using the product when it is not

plugged in sufficiently can cause dust to

accumulate on the plug, possibly resulting in fire

or skin burns.

• 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, as long as the power cord is not

unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the product

will not be disconnected from the power source.

• Do not connect the product to an electrical outlet

using a multi-plug outlet extender. Doing so can

result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause

overheating in the outlet.

• When disconnecting the power plug, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the

cord can damage it and cause electric shocks or

a fire.

• If not using the product for long periods of time,

be sure to pull the power plug from the AC outlet.

Do not disassemble

• This product contains no user-serviceable parts.

Do not attempt to disassemble the internal parts

or modify them in any way.

Water warning

• Do not expose the product 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 or places where water may drop. A

liquid such as water getting into the product may

cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.

• Use the AC adaptor indoors only. Do not use in

any wet environments.

• Never insert or remove a power plug with wet

hands.

Fire warning

• Do not place any burning items or open flames

near the product, since they may cause a fire.

Wireless unit

• Radio waves from this product may affect electro-

medical devices, such as a heart pacemaker

implant or defibrillator implant.

- Do not use the product near medical devices or

inside medical facilities. Radio waves from this

product may affect electro-medical devices.

- Do not use the product within 15 cm (6 in.) of

persons with a heart pacemaker implant or a

defibrillator implant.

Connections

• Be sure to read the manual of the device to be

connected, and follow the instructions. Failure to

observe this may cause a fire, overheating,

explosion, or malfunction.

PRECAUTIONS

4P-525 Owner’s Manual

If you notice any abnormality

• If any of the following problems occur,

immediately turn off the power switch and

disconnect the power plug from the outlet.

Finally have the device inspected by Yamaha service

personnel.

- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or

damaged.

- Unusual smells or smoke are emitted.

- Some object, or water has been dropped into

the product.

- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of

the product.

- Cracks or other visible damage appear on the

product.

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:

Location

• Do not place the product in an unstable position

or a location with excessive vibration, where it

might accidentally fall over and cause injury.

• Do not go near the product during an earthquake.

Strong shaking during an earthquake could

cause the product to move or tip over, resulting in

damage to the product or its parts, and possibly

causing injury.

• When transporting or moving the product, always

use two or more people. Attempting to lift the

product by yourself may result in injuries, such as

back injuries, or cause the product to be dropped

and broken, which could lead to other injuries.

• Before moving the product, remove all connected

cables, to prevent damage to the cables or injury

to anyone who might trip over them.

• Use only the stand specified for the product.

When attaching it, use the provided screws only.

Failure to do so could cause damage to the

internal components or result in the product

falling over.

Connections

• Before connecting the product to other devices,

turn off the power for all devices. Before turning

the power on or off for all devices, set all volume

levels to minimum.

• Be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their

minimum levels and gradually raise the volume

controls while playing the product to set the

desired listening level.

Handling

• Do not insert foreign materials such as metal or

paper into any openings or gaps of the product.

Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric

shocks, or malfunctions.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy

objects on the product, and do not use excessive

force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not use the product 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.

• Remove the power plug from the AC outlet before

cleaning the unit. Failure to observe this may

cause electric shocks.

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.

GM System Level 2

“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

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

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.

NOTICE

After removing the music rest from the instrument, do not leave it on the

instrument for long time. Doing so may cause color transference or glue to

adhere to it.

P-525 Owner’s Manual

Truly Portable electric piano,

ideal for wide variety of

applications

The P-525 digital piano is exceptionally portable—

allowing you practice it in your bedroom, or perform

with it at a party. You can enjoy it like a normal piano

when using it with the separately sold keyboard stand

(L-515) and pedal unit (LP-1). You can also enjoy

authentic live performances when using it with the

portable pedal unit (FC35).

Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer

Imperial piano samples

The P-525 features gorgeous piano sounds created with

samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano

and famed Vienna-made Bösendorfer* grand piano.

These piano samples bring two world’s finest and most

prominent concert grand pianos to your fingertips.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

Grand Expression Modeling

and Virtual Resonance

Modeling (VRM) — two

powerful, expressive grand

piano-like features (page 24)

“Grand Expression Modeling” technology recreates the

subtle changes in the sound that are produced by

changing your touch from when you press a key to when

you release it. The VRM technology featured in this

instrument reproduces the complicated interaction of

both string and soundboard resonance and makes the

sound more like a real acoustic piano. These two

technologies enables a wide variety of performance

expression.

GrandTouch-S™ keyboard with

real wood keys provides the feel

of an acoustic grand piano

The P-525 features white keys made from select quality

wood and fitted with the highest quality synthetic ivory,

while the black keys are finished in synthetic ebony. This

keyboard features a broad dynamic range and faithful

response to every nuance of touch that puts a wide

expanse of tone—from delicate to bold—at the pianist’s

fingertips.

Dynamic Rhythm Tracks

(page 43)

The P-525 comes complete with forty rhythm patterns

(drums and bass accompaniment) that are perfectly

suited to many types of music regularly performed on

the piano, for even greater performance potential. Simply

playing with your favorite rhythm pattern automatically

triggers and controls the drums and bass accompani-

ment, and you can enjoy the feeling of playing with a

backing band.

Convenient on-stage

performance functions

(page 92)

The P-525 also features the following useful functions for

performing on stage or in live spaces.

• Sound Boost (page 37)

This helps your sound stand out when playing along with

other instruments or in noisy environments.

• Panel Lock (page 40)

This allows you temporarily disable the front panel

buttons to prevent them being operated unintentionally

while performing.

• Registration Memory (page 72)

This allows you to save (register) your favorite settings to

buttons on the front panel, and then instantly recall the

settings while performing.

Comprehensive compatibility

with smart devices

Connecting the P-525 with a smart device, such as a

smartphone or tablet, gives you even greater musical

enjoyment and performance control.

• Powerful, convenient smart device apps

(page 81)

The P-525 is compatible with two highly convenient

apps: Smart Pianist and Rec'n'Share. Smart Pianist lets

you operate the instrument from your smart device and

even display the notation of Songs, while Rec'n'Share

enables you to film, record, and edit your performances.

• Bluetooth audio function enables audio

playback from a smart device (page 79)

You can use the P-525 as an audio device, and listen to

music from your Bluetooth-equipped device, such as a

smart device, and even enjoy performing with your

favorite music.

Setting Up

Auto Power Off function

To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this instrument features an Auto

Power Off function that automatically turns the power off if the instrument is

not operated for a specified period of time. The amount of time that elapses

before the power is automatically turned off is approximately 30 minutes by

default; however, you can change the setting (page 106).

To adjust the volume, use the [VOLUME] slider located at the right of the

panel. Play the keyboard to actually produce sound while you adjust the

volume.

Adjusting the [VOLUME] slider also affects the output level of the [PHONES]

jacks (page 14) and the output level of the AUX OUT jacks (page 76).

Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)

IAC is a function which automatically adjusts and controls the sound quality

according to the overall volume of the instrument. IAC Control is effective only

on the sound output of the instrument speakers or headphones. Even when the

volume is low, this lets you hear both low sounds and high sounds clearly.

Especially when using the headphones, the burden on the ears is reduced

without raising the overall volume excessively.

You can set the IAC setting On or Off and its depth. For details, refer to “IAC”

and “IAC depth” on page 105. The default setting for this function is “On.”

Disabling Auto Power Off (simple method)

Turn the power on while holding down the lowest key on the keyboard. An

“Auto power off disabled” message appears briefly and Auto Power Off is

disabled.

the specified period of time

elapses. Always turn off the

power manually when the

instrument is not in use.

Setting Up

You can connect two pairs of headphones to the [PHONES] jacks. If you are

using only one pair, insert the plug into either of these jacks.

Reproducing the Natural Sensation of Sound Distance

—Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer

This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy

exceptionally realistic, natural sound, even when listening on headphones.

Binaural Sampling (“CFX Grand” Voice only)

Binaural sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear

position of a performer and records the sound from a piano as it is. Listening to

the sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of being

immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. When

“CFX Grand” (page 110) is selected, connecting the headphones automatically

enables binaural sampling sound.

Stereophonic Optimizer (Voices in the Piano group other than

“CFX Grand”)

The Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces natural sound

distance like the sound of binaural sampling even though you hear it on

headphones. When any other Voice in the Piano group besides “CFX Grand” is

selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the Stereophonic

Optimizer.

Using Headphones

CAUTION

Do not use headphones at a

high volume for an extended

period of time. Doing so may

cause hearing loss.

Adaptor plug

(3.5 mm  6.3 mm)

Sampling

A technology which records the

sounds of an acoustic

instrument then stores them to

the tone generator to be played

based on information received

from the keyboard.

NOTE

Voices in the Piano group are

those contained in the “Piano”

category in the Preset Voice

List (page 110). For details

about selecting Voices, refer to

page 20.

NOTE

Before connecting an external

powered speaker system, be

sure to read “Connecting to

Other Devices” (page 74).

This function is turned on by default. Note that when the “Speaker” setting

(page 106) is “On,” this function will always be disabled. Since these sounds are

optimized for listening with headphones, we recommend that you set this function

to “Off” in the following situations.

• Playing the piano sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker

system, while monitoring the sound output from this instrument on connected

headphones.

• Making an audio recording (page 61) while using headphones, and then playing

that recorded audio Song through speakers of this instrument. (Make sure to turn

off these functions before audio recording.)

For details on setting this On or Off, refer to “Binaural” on page 105.

Setting Up

Using the Foot Pedal

You can switch various selected functions on/off by using the included FC3A

foot pedal connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack. Also a separately sold FC4A or

FC5 footswitch can be connected to the jack. To select the function, use the

“Aux Assign” (page 104) in the “System” menu display.

Using the Pedal Unit (sold separately)

The [PEDAL UNIT] jack is for connecting a separately sold LP-1 or FC35 pedal

unit. When connecting the LP-1 pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit

on a separately sold keyboard stand (L-515). When connecting the FC35 pedal

unit, a keyboard stand is unnecessary.

Using the Pedals

NOTE

Make sure that power is off

when connecting or

disconnecting the foot pedal or

footswitch.

Half-pedal function

This function can be used when an included FC3A foot pedal or separately sold

LP-1 or FC-35 pedal unit (see below) is connected and it 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. You can specify the point to which

you must depress the foot pedal connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack or the

damper pedal of the pedal unit (Half Pedal Point). To do this, press the [MENU]

button repeatedly to call up the “System” menu display: “Pedal” → “Half Pedal

Point” (page 104).

NOTE

Make sure that power is off

when connecting or

disconnecting the pedal unit.

Setting Up

Damper pedal (right pedal)

When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play

have a longer sustain. When you select a Voice in the

Piano group, pressing the damper pedal activates the

VRM (page 24) to accurately recreate the unique

resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard

and strings. This pedal features Half-pedal function.

Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press

the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the

notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All

subsequent notes will not sustain.

Soft pedal (left pedal)

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes

played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are

already playing when it is pressed. In order to apply this effect, play notes after

pressing the pedal.

Keep in mind that this pedal function will be changed from the Soft pedal

depending on the selected Voice (page 20). When “Jazz Organ” or “Rock

Organ” is selected, this pedal switches the Rotary Speaker speed between slow

and fast (“Rotary Speed” on page 96). When “Vibraphone” is selected, this

pedal switches Vibrato on and off (“VibeRotor” on page 96).

Assigning Functions to the Pedals

You can assign a different function to the foot pedal or footswitch connected to

the [AUX PEDAL] jack or left/center/right pedal connected to the [PEDAL

UNIT] jack.

Assigning to the foot pedal/footswitch

Press the [MENU] button repeatedly to call up the “System” menu, and then

select “Pedal” → “Aux Assign” to make the assignment.

Assigning to each pedal of the pedal unit

Press the [MENU] button repeatedly to call up the “Voice” menu, and then

select “Pedal Assign” to make the assignment.

When you press the damper

pedal here, the notes you

play before you release the

pedal have a longer sustain.

NOTE

While the sostenuto (center)

pedal is held, a sustained (non-

decaying) type of Voice such

as strings or organ may sound

continuously without decay

after the notes have been

released.

When you press the

sostenuto pedal here while

holding the note(s), the notes

will sustain as long as you

hold the pedal.

NOTE

You can assign the Song Play/

Pause function (the same

function as the [PLAY/PAUSE]

button on the front panel) to the

included foot pedal connected

to the [AUX PEDAL] jack or the

footswitch (sold separately) or

the center or left pedal of the

pedal unit (sold separately). For

details, refer to page 104.
