    How to fix no sound on my Yamaha PortaTone PSR-620 keyboard?

      If the Yamaha musical instrument doesn't produce any sound when you play the keyboard, first, try turning the power off and then on again, as this automatically selects the default setting “Local ON”. If that doesn't work, the Local Control function might be turned off. Ensure that Local Control is turned on.

    Why Yamaha PortaTone PSR-620 voice is not sounding?

      If the selected voice on your Yamaha musical instrument doesn't sound when you play the keyboard, it could be due to the volume parameters not being set correctly. Check the Keyboard Volume, Split Voice Volume, and Dual Voice Volume parameters to ensure they are at appropriate levels. Alternatively, try turning the power off and on again to automatically select the default volume setting for the voice.

    What to do if Yamaha PortaTone PSR-620 auto accompaniment won’t function properly?

      Charles WilkinsonAug 20, 2025
      If the auto accompaniment on your Yamaha musical instrument isn't functioning correctly and there's no lower keyboard sound, it might be because you're using SINGLE FINGER type fingering without selecting the SINGLE FINGER mode. Ensure that the SINGLE FINGER mode is selected. Also, make sure you're playing in the Auto-Accompaniment section of the keyboard and that you're playing chords that the PSR-620 can recognize.

    Why is Yamaha Musical Instrument accompaniment not playing properly?
    • C
      Cassandra HarrisAug 25, 2025
      If the accompaniment on your Yamaha musical instrument does not play properly, the accompaniment tracks you want to hear may be muted. Ensure that the accompaniment tracks you want to hear are not muted and that the Accomp Volume parameter is turned up to a reasonable level. Alternatively, turn the power off and on again to automatically select the default track setting for the style and the default accompaniment volume.

    Why not all notes sound on Yamaha PSR-620 Musical Instrument?
    • A
      Alicia WeberAug 27, 2025
      If not all simultaneously-played notes sound on your Yamaha PSR-620 musical instrument, it's likely you are exceeding the maximum polyphony. The PSR-620 can play up to 32 notes at the same time, including split, dual, auto-accompaniment, song memory, and multi pad notes. Notes exceeding this limit will not sound.

    Why is Yamaha PortaTone PSR-620 Musical Instrument sustain pedal reversed?
    • J
      jonathanabbottAug 31, 2025
      If the operation of the sustain pedal is reversed on your Yamaha musical instrument, it is probably because sustain pedal operation will be reversed if you turn ON the power or plug in the pedal while pressing the pedal. For normal operation turn OFF the power then turn it back ON while the pedal is not pressed.

    • V
      Vanessa BergerSep 4, 2025
      The “pop” sound from the speakers of your Yamaha musical instrument when turning the power on or off is normal and not a cause for alarm.
