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-300 or an equivalent recom-

mended 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 posi-

tion where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

•

Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the inter-

nal 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 liq-

uids 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 quali-

ﬁed 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 mul-

tiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or

possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

•

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 disﬁgu-

ration or damage to the internal components.

•

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 place the instrument in an unstable position where it

might accidentally fall over.

•

Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and

other cables.

•

Use only the stand speciﬁed for the instrument. When attaching

the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could

cause damage to the internal components or result in the instru-

ment falling over.

•

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic compo-

nents, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the

power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to mini-

mum. Also, 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.

•

When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use

paint thinners, solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated

wiping cloths.

•

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 or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the

power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC out-

let. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha ser-

vice personnel.

•

Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument,

since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

•

Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instru-

ment, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or

connectors.

•

Do not operate the instrument 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.

Saving and backing up your data

•

Current memory data (see page 36) is lost when you turn off the

power to the instrument. Save the data to a ﬂoppy disk/the User

Drive (see page 36).

Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect opera-

tion. Save important data to a ﬂoppy disk.

Backing up the ﬂoppy disk

•

To protect against data loss through media damage, we recom-

mend that you save your important data onto two ﬂoppy disks.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, 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 AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Saving data

When you change settings in a display page and then exit

from that page, System Setup data (listed in the Parameter

Chart of the separate Data List booklet) is automatically

stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the

power without properly exiting from the relevant display.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

PSR-A1000

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and

Floppy Disk

Be sure to handle ﬂoppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.

• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type ﬂoppy disks can be used.

To insert a ﬂoppy disk into the disk drive:

• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing

upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward,

towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the

slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into

place and the eject button pops out.

To eject a ﬂoppy disk:

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to conﬁrm that data

is not being written to the ﬂoppy disk.

If data is currently being written to the ﬂoppy disk in

the following operations, the messages “Now

executing,” “Now copying,” and “Now formatting”

appears in the display.

• Moving, copying, pasting, saving, or deleting data

(page 39 - 41).

• Naming ﬁles and folders (page 38); creating a new

folder (page 41).

• Copying a disk to an another disk (page 134);

formatting the disk (page 134).

• Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off

when the data is being written to the ﬂoppy disk.

Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk

drive. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go;

the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is

fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.

• If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not

pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject

properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-

pressed position with the disk extending from the

drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do

not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since

using force in this situation can damage the disk drive

mechanism or the ﬂoppy disk. To remove a partially

ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again,

or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the

eject procedure.

• Be sure to remove the ﬂoppy disk from the disk drive

before turning off the power. A ﬂoppy disk left in the

drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and

dirt that can cause data read and write errors.

• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument

employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,

after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of

magnetic particles from the disks used that will

eventually cause read and write errors.

• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order

Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-

available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the

head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer

about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.

• Never insert anything but ﬂoppy disks into the disk

drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk

drive or ﬂoppy disks.

To handle ﬂoppy disks with care:

• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply

pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep ﬂoppy

disks in their protective cases when they are not in

use.

• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely

high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust

or liquids.

• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed

surface of the ﬂoppy disk inside.

• Do not expose the disk to magnetic ﬁelds, such as

those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc.,

since magnetic ﬁelds can partially or completely erase

data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.

• Never use a ﬂoppy disk with a deformed shutter or

housing.

• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels

to a ﬂoppy disk. Also make sure that labels are

attached in the proper location.

To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):

• To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide

the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position

(tab open).

Data backup

• For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that

you keep two copies of important data on separate

ﬂoppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost

or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk to

Disk function on page 134.

About the Display Messages

A message (information or conﬁrmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation.

When such messages appear, simply follow the instructions as shown by pressing the corresponding button.

Connect one end of the AC cable to the PA-300.

3

Connect the PA-300’s DC plug to the PSR-A1000’s

DC IN terminal on the instrument’s rear panel.

4

Connect the other end (normal AC plug) to the

nearest electrical outlet.

WARNING

Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the Yamaha PA-

300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha. The use of an

incompatible adaptor may cause irreparable damage to the PSR-

A1000, and may even pose a serious shock hazard! ALWAYS

UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET

WHEN THE PSR-A1000 IS NOT IN USE.

CAUTION

Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor)

during any PSR-A1000 record operation! Doing so can result in

a loss of data.

CAUTION

Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity

is still ﬂowing to the instrument at a minimum level. When not

using the PSR-A1000 for an extended period of time, be sure to

unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

When you have made all the necessary connections

(page 136) between your PSR-A1000 and any other

devices, make sure that all volume settings are turned

down all the way to zero. Then turn on every device in

your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI

slaves (receivers), then the audio equipment (mixers,

ampliﬁers, speakers, etc.). This ensures smooth MIDI

operation and prevents speaker damage.

When powering down the setup, ﬁrst turn down the

volume for each audio device, then switch off each

device in the reverse order (ﬁrst audio devices, then

MIDI).

before switching on the power of the ampliﬁed speakers or mixer and

ampliﬁer. Likewise,always switch off the power of the PSR-A1000

after switching off the power of the ampliﬁed speakers or mixer and

ampliﬁer.

CAUTION

Even when the switch is in the "STANDBY" position,electricity is still

ﬂowing to the instrument at a minimum level. When not using the

PSR-A1000 for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC

power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

n

Before you switch your PSR-A1000 on or off, ﬁrst turn down the vol-

ume of any connected audio equipment.

1 Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch.

→ The main display appears in the display.

When you’re ready to turn off the power, press the

[STANDBY/ON] switch again.

→ Both the display and the drive lamp (at the

bottom left of the drive) will turn off.

2 Adjusting the display contrast

If the LCD is difﬁcult to read, adjust the

contrast with the [LCD CONTRAST]

knob on the rear panel.

3 Setting the volume

Use the [MASTER VOLUME]

dial to adjust the volume to

an appropriate level.

The Panel Logos

The logos printed on the PSR-A1000 panel indicate standards/

formats it supports and special features it includes.

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard

which guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will

play accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or

synthesizer from any manufacturer.

XG Format

XG is a new Yamaha MIDI speciﬁcation which signiﬁcantly

expands and improves on the “GM System Level 1” standard

with greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and

effect capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By

using the PSR-A1000 XG voices, it is possible to record XG-

compatible song ﬁles.

XF Format

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File)

standard with greater functionality and open-ended

expandability for the future. The PSR-A1000 is capable of

displaying lyrics when an XF ﬁle containing lyric data is played.

(SMF is the most common format used for MIDI sequence ﬁles.

The PSR-A1000 is compatible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and

records “song” data using SMF Format 0.)

Disk Orchestra Collection

The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback

compatibility with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and

MIDI devices.

Style File Format

The Style File Format (SFF) is Yamaha’s original style ﬁle format,

which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality

automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord

types. The PSR-A1000 uses the SFF internally, reads optional

SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles using the Style Creator

feature.
