Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televi-
sions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can
affect proper operation of the other products.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acci-
dentally fall over.
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint
thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since
this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and
do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the
stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-

experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
SAVING USER DATA
Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer
MDF3, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a mal-
function or user operating error.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modi-
fications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.
PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts
or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable
parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immedi-
ately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill
into any openings.
If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is
a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual
smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off
the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have
the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the in-
strument or overheating.
Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which
may have accumulated on it.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the
instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or
radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord,
place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could
walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always
hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-
connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause
overheating in the outlet.
Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during
electrical storms.
Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/-
polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or
battery fluid leakage.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries
together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline
batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or
different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause
overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries
from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.
Keep batteries away from children.
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off
the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum.
Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme
cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the
day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the
internal components.

SETTING UP
This section contains information about setting up your PortaTone for playing.
Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.
When the Batteries Run Down
When the batteries run low and the battery
voltage drops below a certain level, the
PortaTone may not sound or function properly.
As soon as this happens, replace them with a
complete set of six new batteries.
• Never mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries (e.g., alkaline and manganese).
• To prevent possible damage from battery leakage, remove
the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for a
long time.
BATTERIES 1.5V

STAND BY
ON
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Although the PSR-225 will run either from an
optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha rec-
ommends use of an AC adaptor whenever
possible. An AC adaptor is more environmen-
tally friendly than batteries and does not deplete
resources.
Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or
unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-225 record operation!
Doing so can result in a loss of data.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
To connect your PortaTone to a wall socket, you
will need the optionally available Yamaha PA-3B
Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could
result in damage to the instrument, so be sure to
ask for the right kind. Connect one end of the
adaptor to the DC IN 10-12V jack on the rear
panel of your PortaTone, and the other end to a
suitable electrical outlet.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B AC Power Adaptor (or other
adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your
instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may
result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the PSR-
225.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-225,
or during electrical storms.
Using Batteries
Inserting Batteries
Turn the instrument upside-down and remove
the battery compartment lid. Insert six 1.5-volt
size “D” (SUM-1, R-20 or equivalent) batteries as
shown in the illustration, making sure that the
positive and negative terminals are properly
aligned, and replace the lid.
TURNING ON THE POWER
With the AC power adaptor connected or with
batteries installed, simply press the power switch
until it locks in the ON position. When the
instrument is not in use, be sure to turn the
power off. (Press the switch again so that it
pops up.)
Even when the switch is in the “STAND BY” position, electricity
is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When
you are not using the PSR-225 for a long time, make sure you
unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or
remove the batteries from the instrument.

Using the MIDI Terminals
• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to
the FOOT SWITCH jack before turning on the power.
• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on.
Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch,
resulting in reversed footswitch operation.
SETTING UP
ACCESSORY JACKS
Using Headphones
For private practicing and playing without
disturbing others, connect a set of stereo head-
phones to the rear panel PHONES/AUX OUT
jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is
automatically cut off when you insert a head-
phone plug into this jack.
FOOT SWITCH
Using a Footswitch
This feature lets you use an optional footswitch
(Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the sound of the
voices, or control a variety of other functions.
(See page 91.) When this is used for sustain, the
footswitch functions the same way as a damper
pedal on an acoustic piano — press and hold
down the footswitch as you play the keyboard
to sustain the sound.
Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo
System
Though the PortaTone is equipped with a built-
in speaker system, you can also play it through
an external amplifier/speaker system. First,
make sure the PortaTone and any external
devices are turned off, then connect one end of
a stereo audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN
jack(s) of the other device and the other end to
the rear panel PHONES/AUX OUT jack on the
PortaTone.

The PortaTone also
features MIDI termi-

interface the
PortaTone with other
MIDI instruments and
devices. (For more
information, see

To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the

(1 - 4).
B Press the appropriate USER button (1 - 4) to
instantly call up your custom panel settings.
r Select the desired User
button (USER 1 - 4).
