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:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 included tool.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in standby status, 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.

■ Tuning
Unlike an acoustic piano, this instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.
■ Transporting
If you move to another location, you can transport this instrument along with your other belongings. You can move the
unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit before moving.
Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the
instrument to excessive vibration or shock.
■ GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard
This Yamaha digital piano features a special “GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard with matte black
keytops.”
The GHS keyboard offers natural grand-piano type playability by simulating the heavier touch of the low range
and the lighter touch of the high range across the keyboard.
The matte black keytops enhance the piano’s luxurious and graceful appearance.
■ AWM Stereo Sampling
This digital piano sounds much closer to a true acoustic piano. Two of the piano Voices, “Grand Piano 1” and
“Grand Piano 2,” feature totally samples recorded from a concert grand piano. The “Electric Piano” Voice
features multiple samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling); that is, different samples are used
depending on how fast or strong you strike the keys.

Using the Pedals
If the damper pedal doesn’t
work, make sure that the
pedal cord is properly
plugged into the main unit
(page 33).
Organ and string Voices will
not decay but continue to
sound for as long as the
sostenuto pedal is depressed.
Damper (Right) pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper
pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the
pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
Sostenuto (Center) pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press
the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those
notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (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, for example, while other
notes are played “staccato.”
Soft (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.
When you press the damper
pedal here, 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.

2Hall1
For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the Hall 1 setting. This
effect simulates the natural reverberation of a small-size
concert hall.
D2 Hall2
For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the Hall 2 setting. This
effect simulates the natural reverberation of a large concert
hall.

Layering Two Voices (Dual mode)
You can layer two Voices and play them simultaneously to create a thicker and more richly textured sound.
1 Engage Dual mode.
You cannot layer the same
Voice in Dual mode. Select the
two different Voices.
Reverb in Dual mode
The reverb type assigned to
Voice 1 will take priority. (If the
reverb assigned to Voice 1 is
set to Off, the reverb assigned
to Voice 2 will be in effect.)
While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press two keys in the range of C1
through F1 simultaneously (or press and hold down one key, then press another) to
select the two desired Voices.
Refer to “Selecting Voices” (page 16) for information on the Voices that are
assigned to the keys.
The Voice assigned to the lower key is designated as Voice 1, and the Voice
assigned to the higher key is designated as Voice 2.
You can make the following settings for Voices 1 and 2 in Dual mode:
Setting the octave
You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for Voice 1 and Voice 2
independently.
Depending on which Voices you combine in Dual mode, the combination may
sound better if one of the Voices is shifted up or down an octave.
While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the C5–F5 keys.
Setting the balance
You can adjust the volume balance between two Voices. For example, you can set
one Voice as the main Voice with a louder setting, and make the other Voice softer.
While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the F
5–F
6 keys. A
setting of “0” produces an equal balance between the two Dual mode Voices.
Settings below “0” increase the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Voice 1, and settings
above “0” increase the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.
2 Exit Dual mode and return to normal play mode.
To return to single-Voice play mode, press the [PIANO/VOICE] button.

Transposition
Your digital piano’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone
intervals up to a maximum of six semitones, and lets you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or
other instruments.
For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a song as
though it were in C major, and this instrument will transpose it to F major.
Setting the amount of transposition
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons, press one of the F
2–
F
3 keys to set the desired amount of transposition.
To transpose the pitch down (in semitone steps)
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons, press any key
between F
2 and B2.
To transpose the pitch up (in semitone steps)
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons, press any key
between C

3.
To restore the normal pitch
While holding down the [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] buttons, press the C3 key.

instruments or CD music.
