Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-S00M. POWER SUPPLY ‘Your PSR-SOOM will run either from the supplied power adaptor or optional batteries*. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend touse. * Whon batterios are used the sound ofthe PSR-500M may be cstortod at high volume levels ‘This is because the power of the amplifier is reduced when batteries are uso. ‘CAUTION Never interupt the powsr supply (e.g. remove the battries or unplug the AC adap) du- ing any PSR-S00M rocord operation! Doing £0 can result n a loss of data, Using the Supplied AC Power Adaptor 6 __ Plug the DC output cable from the supplied Yamaha PA-5 AC Power Adaptor the DC IN jack on the rear panel of the PSR-500M, then plug the AC cable of the Power Adaptor into a convenient wall AC power socket. ‘The internal batteries are automatically disconnected when an AC Power Adap- tor is used + Use ONLY a Yamaha PA‘S AC Power Adaptor power your instrument from the AC mains. ‘Other adaptors may be damaged by use with the PSR-S00M, and they may even cause, serious damage to your PSA-S00M, Using Batteries (sold separately) re Six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R-20 or equivalent baticries must first be installed in le the battery compartment, as follows: Cor 1.

When the batteries nce tobe replaced, “batt” will appear on the MULTI DIS- PLAY. When this display appears the PSR-SOOM will not operate, and the power must be turned off while either the batteries are replaced or an AC adaptor iscon- nected.* Internal data will be retained for upto about 10 minutes while the bate lbodtt ies are changed or an AC adaptor is connected. + hogh bates or an AC adaptor ae notimmedatly avail, tmay be posi o uso tho PSR-500M for a ite while longer by turning the power off and then on again, and play- ing ata low volume setting Caution: +1.

OUT jack for private practice or late-night playing. The intemal ‘speaker sysiem is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into ¢ the HEADPHONES jack. The HEADPHONES/AUX, OUT jack can also be used to deliver the output of the PSR-SOOM to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound sys- tem, mixing console or tape recorder. Stereo sound syetem THE FOOT PEDAL lug the supplied foot pedal into the rear-panel FOOT PEDAL jack. The foot pedal functions as a damper pedal, controlling sustain. Press the pedal to sustain notes after the keys are released. + Be sure that you do not press the pedal while inserting the plug into the FOOT PEDAL jack or while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status ofthe footswitch will be reversed, This function has becn implemented to allow either press-to-make or press-1o-break contact type Footswitches to be used with the PSR-500M, + Sustain cannot be applied to voices in which releasing the key played does not stop the sound: eg, MUTE GUITAR (26), MARIMBA (41), PERCUSSIONS baw (69), e. [ THE MUSIC STAND 4 Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot located at the rear of the PSR-5S0OM control panel.QUICK OPERATION GUIDE This section provides brief outlines of the procedures for operating several of ‘the most basic PSR-500M features.

This makes it possible to cre- ate “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available wi lated instruments. The PSR-500M MIDI Connectors ‘The PSR-SO0M MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data {from an extemal MIDI device which can be used to control the PSR-SOOM, The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data, generated by the PSR-SO0M (e.g. note and velocity data pro- ‘duced by playing the keyboard). Simple MIDI Control Most MIDI keyboards (including the PSR-500M, of course) twansmit note and velocity (Louch response) information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the key- board. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is that you can effectively play two instruments at once, pro- viding thick multi-instrument sounds. The PSR-500M also transmits “program change” data when one of its voices is selected. Depending on how the receiving device is se up, the corresponding voice will be automatically selected on the receiving keyboard or tone generator whenever a voice is se- lected on the PSR-SO0M. APPENDIX A: MIDI BASICS ‘The PSR-SO0M is capable of receiving the same MIDI data, soa second MIDI keyboard connected to the PSR-500M MIDI IN connector can be used to remotely play the PSR-500M and select voices as required. ‘Mot Keyboars = ==] PSRS00M sa MIDI Sequence Recording “The same type of musical information transfer described above is used for MIDI sequence recording.

In many cases what ap- ‘pears to be a malfunction can be traced to a simple error that can >be remedied immediately. Before assuming that your PSR-500M is faulty, please check the following points. 1. PROBLEM + The PSR-S00M speakers produce a “pop” sound whenever the power is turned ON or OFF. CHECK + This is normal and is no cause for alarm. 2. PROBLEM + No sound. CHECK + Is the MASTER VOLUME control tumed up high enough? + Is the power turned on? The Auto Power Off function aulo- matically turns off the power if no buttons or keys are pressed for more than about 10 minutes when running the PSR-500M from batteries. + Are a pair of headphones plugged into the PHONES jack? Have you accidentally plugged the foot pedal into the phones jack? 3. PROBLEM + Rhythm won't start or no rhythm sound. CHECK +s 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-5O0M is in the SYNCHRO START mode, so ll you have to dois star playing, 4, PROBLEM + Auto accompaniment won't function. No lower keyboard sound. + 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-SOOM_ as this can damage the internal circuitry. Pressing to hard (on keys or controls may lead to malfunctions. When cords are plugged into the rear panel jacks, pay particular 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, 38 APPENDIX C: TROUBLESHOOTING APPENDIX D: MAINTENANCE CHECK + Auto accompaniment won't sound right if the FINGERED ‘mode is selected and you're using SINGLE FINGER type fingering 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 buttons on? 5. PROBLEM + Auto accompaniment chords don't seem to change prop erly CHECK + Are you playing chords thatthe PSR-SOOM can recognize (Gee chord types on page 18)? 6. PROBLEM + Abnormal operation not listed above. Complete lack of contro. CHECK +The internal microprocessor may have been “locked up” due to static electricity or other causes. Turn the instrument OFF for a moment, then turn it ON again. Ifthe lock-up makes it impossible to turn the power off, remove the bat- teries or unplug the AC adaptor. I you tum the power back ‘on within about 10 minute the previous contents of the memory willbe safely retained, 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-500M close to television sets or ‘ther equipment receiving electromagnetic signals as this could cause interference noise in the other appliance. + Service and Modifications ‘Your PSR-500M contains no user serviceable parts. ‘Opening it or tampering with it in any way can lead to elee- trical shock as well as damage. Refer all servicing to quali- fied YAMAHA personnel YAMAHA Is NOT responsible for damage caused by Improper use.- APPENDIX E: SYSTEM RESET - Abnormal operation procedures and other problems can ‘cause the PSR-500M system to “lock up” or malfunction. Normally, simply turing the power off and then on again will solve the problem. If turning the power off and on does not restore normal operation, use the SYSTEM RESET procedure described below (all PAGE MEMORY data is initialized when a SYSTEM RESET is executed: see page 14). 1.
