What to do if my Yamaha PSR-E443 Electronic Keyboard volume is too soft or the sound quality is poor?
- J
  Jennifer RichardsonAug 20, 2025
  If the volume is too soft, the sound quality is poor, the Style/Pattern/Song/Arpeggio stops unexpectedly or will not play, the recorded data of the song does not play correctly, or the LCD display suddenly goes dark and all panel settings are reset, the batteries may be low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new or completely recharged ones, or use the AC power adapter.

Why does my Yamaha PSR-E443 Electronic Keyboard produce no sound?
- R
  Raymond Mckay DDSAug 22, 2025
  If no sound is produced even when the keyboard is played, or a Song, Style, or Pattern is being played back, check whether headphones or an audio cable is connected to the [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack. When such a connection is made, no sound is output from the instrument's speaker. Also, check the on/off status of the Local Control. Normally, this should be set to ON.

Why is the sustain footswitch on my Yamaha PSR-E443 working in reverse?
- M
  Melinda OsborneAug 25, 2025
  If the footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect (for example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds), the polarity of the footswitch may be reversed. Ensure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

  If no sound is produced even when playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard, although chords played in the left hand area are recognized, check whether the Dictionary function is being used. If it is, this is normal.

What to do if my Yamaha PSR-E443 produces an unexpected sound?
- C
  Craig MackAug 29, 2025
  If the keyboard performance and playback of Style/Pattern/Song produces an unexpected or inappropriate sound, and cannot be restored to the normal status, using the Knobs can produce dramatic changes in the sound, but may also produce unexpected or undesired sounds. To restore the original, normal sound, change the Voice, Style, Pattern or Song, or press the [PORTABLE GRAND] button to reset the panel settings.

  If the Style, Pattern or Song does not start even when the [START/STOP] button is pressed, or the Arpeggio does not start even when the note is pressed with the Arpeggio turned on, check the on/off status of the External Clock. Normally, this should be set to OFF.
