    What to do if there is no sound on my Yamaha PSR-S650 Electronic Keyboard?
    • J
      Jennifer SmithAug 15, 2025
      If you're not getting any sound from your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, even when playing or during song/style playback, here are a few things to check: * Ensure nothing is plugged into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel. Headphones plugged in here will silence the main output. * Confirm that “Local Control” is set to ON in the Function display. * Also, ensure the FILE CONTROL display isn't active; press the [EXIT] button to return to the Main display.

      Alexis Zhang MDAug 19, 2025
      If your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard displays an “OVER CURRENT” message and the USB device isn't responding, communication with the USB device has been shut down due to excessive current. Disconnect the device from the USB TO DEVICE terminal, then turn the power of the instrument off and on again.

      Manuel HeathAug 31, 2025
      If the footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, the polarity of the footswitch might be reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

    Why does my Yamaha Electronic Keyboard sound different on each note?
    • Z
      Zachary CarpenterSep 2, 2025
      The sound of the voice changes from note to note on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard.

    Why does my Yamaha PSR-S650 Electronic Keyboard make popping sounds when turning on?
    • E
      Eric HermanSep 5, 2025
      When the Yamaha Electronic Keyboard is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power.

    Why is my Yamaha PSR-S650 Electronic Keyboard cutting off sounds?
    • S
      scooperSep 9, 2025
      If not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, the instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 64 notes. If the Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a Style or Song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or 'stolen') from the accompaniment or Song.

    Why is ACMP indicator not showing on my Yamaha PSR-S650?
    • L
      Lisa EdwardsSep 12, 2025
      If the ACMP indicator does not appear when the [ACMP] button is pressed on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, always press the desired style category button first when you are going to use any Style-related function.
