      If the volume is too soft, the sound quality is poor, the rhythm 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 ones, or use the included AC adapter.

    What to do if my Yamaha Electronic Keyboard has no sound when playing?

      Ms. Angela HowardAug 21, 2025
      If there is no sound even when the keyboard is played, check that nothing is connected to the [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack on the rear panel. When headphones are plugged in, no sound is output.

      If the Style on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard isn't sounding right, ensure that the Style Volume is set to an appropriate level. Also, check if the Split Point is set correctly for the chords you're playing, and confirm that the “ACMP ON” indicator is displayed; if not, press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.

      smithsandraAug 31, 2025
      If the footswitch on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard seems to produce the opposite effect (e.g., pressing it cuts off the sound), 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.

    What to do if my Yamaha YPT255 Electronic Keyboard style does not sound as I play a chord?
    • L
      Lindsay FullerSep 3, 2025
      The auto accompaniment may not change when related chords are played in sequence, two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord, or playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root.

    Why doesn't the ACMP ON indicator appear on my Yamaha YPT255?
    • G
      gregevansSep 5, 2025
      If the ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed, always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any Style-related function. Also, the ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the Duo mode is on.

      If you hear noise from the Yamaha Electronic Keyboard's speakers or headphones when using it with an application on an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch, set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch to avoid noise caused by communication.
