IMPORTANT —Check your power supply—
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the
bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main
keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area.
The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. To change the setting use a "minus"
screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.
For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

      dbushAug 27, 2025
      If the Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-of-tune on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as the Style sound from the instrument. To remedy this: * Sing as closely to the microphone as possible. * Use a unidirectional microphone. * Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control.

      bondrichardAug 27, 2025
      If the Style doesn't start when you press the [START/STOP] button on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, it might be because the Rhythm channel of the selected Style doesn't contain any data. Turn the [ACMP ON/OFF] button on and play the left-hand section on the keyboard to sound the accompaniment part of the Style.
