In many cases what ap- ‘sats to be a malfunction can be traced to a simple error that can be remedied immediately. Before assuming that your PSR-400/ PSR-500 is faulty, please check the following points. 1. PROBLEM + The PSR-400/PSR-500 speakers produce a “pop” sound ‘whenever the power is tured ON or OFF. CHECK + This is normal and is no cause for alarm. PROBLEM + No sound. CHECK +Isthe MASTER VOLUME control turned up high enough? + Is the power tumed on? The Auto Power Off function auto- matically turns off the power if no buttons or keys are pressed for more than about 10 minutes when running the P _PSR-400/PSR-500 from batteries. + Are a pair of headphones plugged into the PHONES jack? Have you accidentally plugged the foot pedal into the phones jack? 2 3, PROBLEM + Rhythm won’t start or no rhythm sound, CHECK + Is the accompaniment volume turned up high enough? + Is the ORCHESTRATION RHYTHM button turned on? + Are you sure you pressed the START bution? + Perhaps the PSR-400/PSR-500 is in the SYNCHRO START mode, so all you have to do is start playing, 4. PROBLEM * Auto accompaniment won't function. No lower keyboard sound, re + Location ‘Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or other sources of heat. [Never leave it inside a car where it can get very hot. It may cause discoloration or deformation. Vibration, excessive dust, cold, low or high humidity can also cause malfunction, + Handling ‘Avoid rough handling. Don’t drop or jolt the PSR-400/ PSR-500 as this can damage the internai circuitry. Pressing too hard on keys or controls may lead to malfunctions. ‘When cords are plugged into the rear panel jacks, pay par- ticular attention not to apply excessive force to them since this may damage the terminals or internal circuitry, + Cleaning Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth, Using chemical solvents may damage the finish. APPENDIX D: MAINTENANCE ‘CHECK «Auto accompaniment won't sound right if the FINGERED ‘mode is selected and you're using SINGLE FINGER type {ingering or improper chord fingering. + Are you sure you're playing in the left-hand section of the keyboard when the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER ‘mode is selected? + Are all ORCHESTRATION butions on? 5. PROBLEM + Auto accompaniment chords don’t seem to change prop- ely. CHECK ‘Are you playing chords that the PSR-400/PSR-500 can recognize (sce chord types on page 18)? PROBLEM + Abnormal operation not listed above, Complete lack of control. CHECK +The intemal microprocessor may have been “locked up" duc to static electricity or other causes. Turn the instrument, (OFF for a moment, then tur it ON again. Ifthe lock-up ‘makes it impossible to turn the power off, remove the bat- {cries or unplug the AC adaptor. If you turn the power back. ‘on within about 10 minute the previous contents of the ‘memory will be safely retained. 7. PROBLEM + Sustain pedal operation is reversed (press-OFF, release- ON). CHECK + You probably held the pedal pressed while turing the power on or inserting the pedal plug into the FOOT PEDAL jack. Turn the power off and then on again with the pedal released. + Interference Through Electromagnetic Fields Do not use your PSR-400/PSR-500 close to television seis or other equipment receiving electromagnetic signals as this could cause interference noise in the other appliance. + Service and Modifications ‘Your PSR-400/PSR-500 contains no user serviceable parts. Opening itor tampering with it in any way can lead to elecrical shock as well as damage. Refer all servicing 10 qualified YAMAHA personnel YAMAHA Is NOT responsible for damage caused by Improper use. 39- APPENDIX E: SYSTEM RESET - Abnormal operation procedures and other problems can ‘cause the PSR-400/PSR-500 system to “lock up" or malfunc- tion, Normally, simply turning the power off and then on again will solve the problem. If wrning the power off and on does not restore normal operation, use the SYSTEM RESET proce dure described below (all PAGE MEMORY data is initialized when a SYSTEM RESET is executed: see page 14). 1.
