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:
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord.
Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during
electrical storms.
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.
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.
Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power
switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Digital Piano!
We recommend that you read this manual carefully so that you can
fully take advantage of the advanced and convenient functions.
We also recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and
handy place for future reference.
Main Features
Graded Hammer Effect Keyboard
Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard with
action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower
notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can
even be adjusted to match your playing style.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
This digital piano offers a rich and versatile range of sounds, which are created using Yamahas proprietary sampling
tone-generation system, AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling.
AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system that creates sounds close to those of an acoustic instrument by
digitally recording the sounds of an instrument and applying high-quality digital filtering technology to the recorded
audio samples.
The sound waveform created by an acoustic piano differs depending on the player’s strength of touch, from pianissimo
to fortissimo.
AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can create extremely dynamic nuances by recording samples at various playing
strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the greater the resulting expressiveness of the instrument.
The piano voice “Grand Piano 1” features a totally new sample recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. Each
note in the sample has been adjusted meticulously so that the digital piano will play only the very best piano sounds.
The piano voices are well-separated sounds featuring a fast attack and a satisfying response.
The “Grand Piano 1” voice features multiple wave samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling). That is, differ-
ent samples are used depending on how fast or strong the player strikes the keys. Therefore, this voice expresses
detailed dynamics and sounds much closer to those of a true acoustic piano.
The instrument creates a rich, luxurious sound using “Sustain Sampling, which is a sample of the soundboard and the
resonance of the strings when the damper pedal is pressed. The instrument also features “Key-off Sampling, which is a
sample of the very delicate noises that are caused when keys are released.

is played by [LEFT].
1. Turn off the playback part you wish to practice.
After you select a song to practice, press the [RIGHT] or [LEFT] button to turn
off the corresponding part.
When you first select a song, both [RIGHT] and [LEFT] indicators light up, indi-
cating that you can play back both parts. When you press one of the buttons to
turn off playback, the corresponding button indicator turns off and the corre-
sponding part playback is muted.

Adding Variations to the Sound – [BRILLIANCE]/
[REVERB]/[EFFECT]/“Damper Resonance
[BRILLIANCE]
You can use this control to adjust the brilliance of the tone and change the tonality to
suit your preference.
BRIGHT: Bright tone
NORMAL: Standard tone
MELLOW: Soft and mellow tone
To select a brilliance type, press the [BRILLIANCE] button a few times until the indica-
tor corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicator lights in sequence each time
you press the [BRILLIANCE] button). Brilliance can be selected among five types. When
two adjacent indicators are lit, the type that is between the two indicated types is
selected. For example, when both NORMAL and MELLOW are lit, the brilliance set-
ting between NORMAL and MELLOW is selected.
[REVERB]
This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects for adding extra depth
and expression to the sound and creating a realistic acoustic ambience.
OFF: When no reverb effect is selected, no REVERB indicator is lit.
ROOM: This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room.
HALL 1: For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates
the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall.
HALL 2: For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simu-
lates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall.
STAGE: Simulates the reverb of a stage environment.
Pressing the [REVERB] button repeatedly toggles the reverb on and off.
The indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed. When all
indicators are off, no effect is produced.
