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 power 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

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radia-

tors, 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. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• 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.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be

used for a long time, or during electrical storms.

• 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.

• 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 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 or plastic 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 specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand

or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause dam-

age to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

• Do not place objects in front of the instrument’s air vents on the top and

rear panels, since this may prevent adequate ventilation of the internal

components, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.

Also, be careful to place the instrument on a flat, level surface to prevent

blockage of the air vents on the bottom panel.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-

fortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you

experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

■REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY

The PSR-8000 requires four 1.5 V C size (LR14) batteries for memory backup

power. If no backup batteries are installed, the memory contents will be lost

when the instrument is unplugged from the AC mains supply. Please use

or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power

switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instru-

ment inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required

voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• 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:

alkaline batteries.

1.Before changing the battery be sure to save any important data to disk

by using the SAVE TO DISK function described on page 141.

2.Turn the PSR-8000 power OFF and unplug the power cord from both the

AC wall socket and the instrument’s rear panel. Turn the instrument up-

side down and rest it on a blanket or other soft surface.

3.Open Battery Compartment Cover

Open the battery compartment cover — located on the instrument’s

bottom panel — by pressing on the two latches on the cover and pulling

outward, as shown in the illustration.

4.Remove the old batteries (if installed).

Remove the old batteries and wait at least one minute to ensure that all

data is fully cleared.

5.Insert Batteries

Insert the four batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on

the bottom panel.

6.Replace Cover

Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.

• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/– polar-

ity 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 (after saving any important data to disk), in order to prevent pos-

sible fluid leakage from the battery.

• Keep batteries away from children.

■SAVING USER DATA

• Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the

loss of important data due to a malfunction 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.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,

short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will

eventually cause read and write errors.

• To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recom-

mends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning

disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer

about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.

Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects

may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.

■ About the Floppy Disks

To handle floppy disks with care:

• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the

disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases

when they are not in use.

• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low tem-

peratures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.

• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the

floppy disk inside.

• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by

televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or

completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.

• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.

• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk.

Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.

To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):

• To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-

protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).

WARNING

• Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the PSR-8000 and

connected peripherals, and unplug them from the power outlet. Then

remove all cables connecting the PSR-8000 to other devices. (Leaving

the power cord connected while working can result in electric shock.

Leaving other cables connected can interfere with work.)

• Do not disassemble, modify, or apply excessive force to board areas and

connectors on hard disk, and SIMMs. Bending or tampering with boards

and connectors may lead to electric shock, fire, or equipment failures.

CAUTION

• Before handling the internal hard disk or SIMMs, you should briefly touch

the metal surface to which the hard-disk or SIMM cover is attached (or

Precautions

• Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow

the important precautions below.

Compatible Disk Type

• 3.5” 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.

■ Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks

To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:

• Hold the disk so that the label of the

disk is facing upward and the sliding

shutter is facing forward, towards

the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk

into the slot, slowly pushing it all the

way in until it clicks into place and

the eject button pops out.

To eject a floppy disk:

• Before ejecting a floppy disk make

sure that the floppy disk drive is not

in operation (the DISK IN USE indi-

cator should be off, except when the

internal hard disk is being accessed).

Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automati-

cally pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.

• Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during recording,

reading and playing back. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly

the disk drive.

• If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as

it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become

stuck in a half-pressed position with the disk extending from the drive

slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out

the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage

the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected

disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into

the slot and then repeat the eject procedure.

• Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off

the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily

pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors.

Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head

• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a preci-

sion magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use,

other such metallic area — be careful of any sharp edges) with your

bare hand so as to drain off any static charge from your body. Note that

even a slight amount of electrostatic discharge may cause damage to

these components.

• It is recommended that you wear gloves to protect your hands from

metallic projections on the PSR-8000 hard disk, SMMs, and other com-

ponents. Touching leads or connectors with bare hands may cause fin-

ger cuts, and may also result in poor electrical contact or electrostatic

damage.

• Take care to avoid dropping screws into the PSR-8000 unit. If a screw

does fall in, be sure to remove it before replacing the cover and powering

up the unit. Starting the unit with a loose screw inside may lead to im-

proper operation or equipment failure. (If you are unable to retrieve a

dropped screw, consult your Yamaha dealer for advice.)

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk

Handling and Installation of Options

Data backup

• For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two

copies of important data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup

if one disk is lost or damaged. To make a backup disk use the COPY

FILE/FD function on page 143.

Write protected Write enabled

YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

YAMAHA provides no guarantee against disk damage.

* If SIMM memory, or hard disk fails to work properly, consult the item’s dealer or manufacturer for advice.

* Yamaha will not be held responsible for any damage or injury resuting from improper installation.

A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for

private practice or late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker

system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged

into the PHONES jack.

■ The PHONES Jack...............................................................................

■ The MIC/LINE IN Jack ......................................................................

The PSR-8000 includes a microphone/line input jack into which

just about any standard microphone or line-level source with a 1/4"

phone plug can be plugged (a dynamic microphone with an imped-

ance of 250 ohms is recommended). The microphone or line input can

be used with the PSR-8000’s vocal harmony and sampling functions

(pages 83 and 88, respectively). The panel MIC/LINE switch should

be set according to the type of source used, and the INPUT VOLUME

control can be used to adjust the level of the microphone or line input

signal. The SIGNAL and OVER indicators on the panel aid in setting

the ideal input level: the green SIGNAL indicator should light when

an input signal is present, but if the red OVER indicator lights the level

should be reduced by using the INPUT VOLUME control, and if this

is not sufficient, by reducing the level of the source signal itself.

• The Yamaha MZ106s microphone is recommended for use with the PSR-

8000.

• The level of the microphone sound may vary considerably according to the

type of microphone used.

• Turn the INPUT VOLUME control all the way down when connecting or

disconnecting a microphone.

• Placing a microphone which is connected to the PSR-8000 too close to the

PSR-8000 speakers (or those of an external sound system connected to the

PSR-8000) can cause feedback. Adjust the microphone position, and the

MIXING CONSOLE MIC volume level or MASTER VOLUME control level if

necessary, so that feedback does not occur.

1 The AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks......................................

The rear-panel AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output

of the PSR-8000 for connection to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound

system, a mixing console, or tape recorder. If you will be connecting

the PSR-8000 to a monaural sound system, use only the L/L+R jack.

When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the left- and right-

channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you

don’t lose any of the PSR-8000 sound.

The rear-panel AUX IN L/L+R and R jacks accept input

from an external instrument or audio source, or the processed

signal returned from an external effect unit fed by the PSR-8000

LOOP SEND jacks, below. The signal received at the AUX IN/

LOOP RETURN jacks is mixed with PSR-8000 sound and

delivered via the speaker system. Use the L/L+R jack only for

monaural input.

The TRIM control allows the input sensitivity of the AUX

IN L/L+R and R (LOOP RETURN) jacks to be adjusted for

optimum level matching with the connected equipment.

2 The AUX IN L/L+R and R (LOOP RETURN)

Jacks with TRIM Control..................................................

3 LOOP SEND L/L+R and R Jacks.............................

These jacks deliver the output of the PSR-8000 for connec-

tion to external signal processing devices such as reverb or

equalizer units. The output from the signal processor can be

returned to the AUX IN/LOOP RETURN jacks, described

above. When feeding a monaural device connect only the L/

L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the

left- and right-channel signals are combined and delivered via

the L/L+R jack.

When a plug is inserted into the LOOP SEND L/L+ R jack

the internal signal flow is interrupted and only the signal

returned to the AUX IN (LOOP RETURN) jacks — see above

— will appear at the PSR-8000 speakers, headphones, and AUX

OUT jacks. No sound will be produced if the return signal is not

fed to the AUX IN (LOOP RETURN) jacks.

• Never return the output from the AUX OUT jacks to the AUX IN

jacks. Also never return the output from an external device fed by

the AUX OUT jacks to the AUX IN jacks. Doing so can result in a

feedback loop which damage the PSR-8000 and connected equip-

ment.

In this setup the sound of the PSR-8000 itself

as well as the external sources will be

reproduced via the PSR-8000 amplifier and

speakers, allowing the PSR-8000 to function

as a convenient stage monitor system.

4 FOOT PEDAL SWITCH 1 and 2 Jacks ...................................................................................................................

One or two optional Yamaha FC5 footswitches connected to

these jacks can be used to control sustain and a range of other

important functions. Refer to the “FOOT SWITCH 1” and

“FOOT SWITCH 2” functions described on page 124.

5 FOOT PEDAL VOLUME Jack...........................................................................................................................................

An optional Yamaha FC7 Foot Controller can be connected

to this jack to allow foot volume (expression) control. The foot

controller can be assigned to control overall volume or the

volume of individual accompaniment and/or voices via the

“FOOT VOLUME” function — page 124.

6 MIDI IN, THRU and OUT Connectors ......................................................................................................................

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an exter-

nal MIDI device (such as a MIDI sequencer) which can be used

to control the PSR-8000. The MIDI THRU connector re-

transmits any data received at the MIDI IN connector, allowing

“chaining” of several MIDI instruments or other devices. The

MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the

PSR-8000 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the

keyboard). More details on MIDI are provided on pages 132,

177. The PSR-8000 can also be connected directly to a personal

computer via the TO HOST connector, described below, with-

out the need for a MIDI interface.

• Be sure to set the HOST SELECT switch to MIDI when using the MIDI

connectors. The MIDI connectors do not function when the HOST

SELECT switch is in any other position.

• No MIDI transmission or reception occurs in the SAMPLING mode.

Although the PSR-8000 can be connected to a personal computer via the MIDI IN/OUT connectors and a MIDI

interface, the TO HOST connector and HOST SELECT switch allow direct connection to Apple Macintosh or IBM

PC/AT personal computers for sequencing and other music applications without the need for a separate MIDI

interface.

• When using the [TO HOST] terminal of the PSR-8000, first turn the power off on both the PSR-8000 and the computer before

connecting the cable. After connecting the cable, turn the power of the computer on first, then the PSR-8000.

• When not using the [TO HOST] terminal of the PSR-8000, make sure the cable is disconnected from the [TO HOST] terminal. If

the cable is left connected, the PSR-8000 may not function properly.

• When the HOST SELECT switch is set to “Mac”, “PC-1”, or “PC-2, no data transfer occurs via the MIDI connectors. To use the MIDI

connectors for connection via a standard MIDI interface, set the HOST SELECT switch to “MIDI”.

• No MIDI or TO HOST transmission or reception occurs in the SAMPLING mode.

7 TO HOST Connector & HOST SELECT Switch ...........................................................................................

● Connecting to an Apple Macintosh Series Computer ..................................................................

Connect the TO HOST connector of the PSR-8000 to the modem or printer port on your Macintosh, depending

on which port your MIDI software is using for MIDI data communication, using a standard Macintosh 8-pin system

peripheral cable. Set the HOST SELECT switch to the “Mac” position.

You may also have to make other MIDI interface settings on the computer side, depending on the type of software

you use (refer to your software owner’s manual). In any case the clock speed should be set to 1 MHz.

● Connecting to an IBM-PC/AT Series Computer...................................................................................

Connect the TO HOST connector of the PSR-8000 to the RS-232C port on your IBM computer, using a standard

8-pin MINI DIN → 9-pin D-SUB cross cable. Set the HOST SELECT switch to the “PC-2” position.

Refer to your software owner’s manual for information on any settings you might have to make on the computer

side.

Plug the AC power cord into the AC INLET on the rear panel

of the PSR-8000, and a convenient AC outlet, then press the

[STANDBY] button to turn the PSR-8000 ON.

• Pressing the [STANDBY] button a second time turns the power off.

• Even when the power is “off”, the PSR-8000 consumes a minute

amount of power in order to maintain some internal memory contents.

Be sure to unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if you will not

be using the PSR-8000 for a long time.

The Demonstration

The PSR-8000 makes general operation and programming easier than ever with

a large backlit LCD display panel and multi-function controls. The 10 LCD (A—J)

buttons — five on either side of the display panel — and 8 LCD dials below the

display perform the function indicated by the adjacent section of the display.

In the example display shown here, for example, the LCD dial immediately

below LEAD on the display can be used to adjust the volume of the LEAD voice.

Rotate the dial upward to increase the volume, or rotate the dial downward to

decrease the volume.

In the same way, the LCD button immediately to the right of LEAD voice

window on the display is used to set the normal octave for the lead voice (“0”),

shift it one octave up (“+1”), or one octave down (“–1”).

■ The MIXING CONSOLE Buttons..............................

The lower section of the normal play mode display, shown

to the right, provides individual volume controls for the PSR-

8000’s song, accompaniment, multi pad, left, right 1, right 2,

lead, and microphone sound. Pressing the [FADER] button

alternately switches between this display and the individual

auto-accompaniment part volume controls: rhythm 1, rhythm 2,

bass, chord 1, chord 2, pad, phrase 1, and phrase 2. This is

essentially a “mixer” that you will use to achieve the best overall

balance for your musical needs.

The PSR-8000 provides “on-line help” for its main

features and functions.

Press the [DEMO/HELP] button and then the HELP

LCD button to go to the main help display. Either select

an item from the HELP MENU by using one of the

corresponding LCD dials and then press the “ENTER”

LCD button, or simply press a panel button to see

corresponding help text. If more than one page of help

text is available for the selected topic, use the LCD

buttons to the right of the display to switch pages as

necessary. Press the RETURN TO HELP MENU LCD

button for more help, or the [EXIT] or [DEMO/HELP]
