      If the style does not sound properly on your Yamaha musical instrument, ensure that the Style Volume is set to an appropriate level. Also, check if the Split Point is set to an appropriate key for the chords you are playing and whether the ACMP indicator is showing in the display. If it is not showing, press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.

      If your Yamaha musical instrument's volume is too soft, the sound quality is poor, the rhythm stops unexpectedly, recorded data doesn't play correctly, or the LCD display goes dark, it might be due to low or dead batteries. Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the included AC adapter.

    • W
      William PerkinsSep 2, 2025
      If the footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect on your Yamaha musical instrument, the polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack before turning on the power.

    Why doesn’t the harmony sound on my Yamaha PSR-EW300 Musical Instrument?
    • S
      Stephen Gonzalez DVMSep 4, 2025
      If the harmony doesn’t sound on your Yamaha musical instrument, the method of sounding the Harmony effect differs depending on the selected type. For Types 01–05, turn the Auto Accompaniment on and play it by pressing a chord in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard, then play some keys in the right-hand side to produce the Harmony effect. For Types 06–26, turning auto accompaniment on or off has no effect, however, it is necessary to play two notes simultaneously for Types 06–12.

    • C
      carly89Sep 6, 2025
      When the Yamaha instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound may be temporarily produced. This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power.

    What to do if there is no sound on my Yamaha Musical Instrument?
    • M
      Mary EdwardsSep 8, 2025
      If there is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song or style is being played back on your Yamaha musical instrument, check that nothing is connected to the [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack on the rear panel, because when headphones are plugged into this jack, no sound is output. Also, check the Local Control on/off setting.
