PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
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:
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5C, PA-5D or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• 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.
• 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 immediately 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.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
• 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.
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.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, 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 rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Saving and backing up your data
• Internal data is retained for about 1 week after the power is turned off. If the
period is exceeded, the data will be lost. Be sure to turn the power switch on for
a few minutes at least once a week. The data could be lost due to malfunction or
incorrect operation. Save important data to external media such as the Yamaha
MDF3 MIDI data filer.
Backing up the floppy disk
• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you
save your important data onto two floppy disks.

YPP-200
Setting Up
Stereo System
•Before connecting the YPP-200 to other electronic components, turn off the power for all compo-
nents. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all-volume levels to minimum.
CAUTION
Power supply connections
Using An AC Power Adaptor ..............................................................
The OUTPUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the YPP-200
for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system,
or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the YPP-200 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
YPP-200’s sound.
CAUTION
•When the YPP-200’s OUTPUT jacks are connected to an external sound system,
first turn the YPP-200 power on, and then the power to the external amplifier/
speaker system. Reverse this order when turning the power off.
ZMake sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of the YPP-200 is set to
STANDBY.
XConnect the AC adaptor (PA-5C, PA-5D or other adaptor specifi-
cally recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.
CPlug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
•Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor) during any
YPP-200 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
WARNING
•Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5C or PA-5D 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 YPP-200.
•Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the YPP-200, or during
electrical storms.
•Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor will reset the YPP-200 to the
defaults.

Setting Up
Music Stand
The YPP-200 is supplied with a music stand that can be attached to
the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control
panel.
Using the MIDI IN and OUT Connectors ................................
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI
device which can be used to control the YPP-200. The MIDI OUT
connector transmits MIDI data generated by the YPP-200 (e.g. note and
velocity data produced by playing the YPP-200 keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI Functions” on page 30.
Using the Damper Pedal
(connect a footswitch to the DAMPER Jack)..................
A footswitch connected to the DAMPER jack will basically function
in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the
footswitch is pressed, notes played will have a long sustain. Releasing
the footswitch immediately stops (dampens) any sustained notes.
• Be sure that you do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. If
you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed.
• If the Damper function doesn’t work, or notes are sustained even when
the footswitch is not pressed, make sure that the pedal is properly
plugged into the DAMPER Jack.
Using the Soft Pedal
(connect a footswitch to the SOFT Jack)............................
A footswitch connected to the SOFT jack reduces the volume and
slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the footswitch is
pressed. The soft pedal function will not affect notes that are already
sustaining when the footswitch is pressed.
This footswitch can also be assigned to function as a start/stop
switch with the “Soft Pedal Mode” described on page 29.
Two sets of standard stereo headphones can be plugged in here for
private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is
automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either
of the PHONES jacks.

With the AC power adaptor connected, simply press the
[STANDBY/ON] 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.)
Set the Volume ...................................................................................................
Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] control about half way
between the “MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing,
re-adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable
listening level.
Select a Voice......................................................................................................
Select the desired voice by pressing one of the voice selectors.
• See “Voice Descriptions” on page 38.
Play.................................................................................................................................
The YPP-200 also offers keyboard touch response, so the volume
and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to how “hard”
you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends on the
selected voice.
• Some voices do not have keyboard touch response. See “Voice Descrip-
tions” on page 38 for details.
Add Effects As Required ........................................................................
You can add or change reverb and effects as desired by using the
[REVERB] button (page 18) and [EFFECT] button (page 19).
Selecting & Playing Voices
Turn Power On ...................................................................................................
CAUTION
•Even when the switch is in the "STANDBY" position, electricity is still flowing to
the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the YPP-200 for a
long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

The Dual Mode
The dual mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across
the entire range of the keyboard.
To activate the dual mode simply press two voice selectors at the
same time (or press one voice selector while holding another). The
voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the dual mode is
active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single
voice selector.
According to the voice numbering priority as shown in the diagram
on the left, lower valued voice numbers will be designated as the 1st
Voice (the other voice will be designated as the 2nd Voice).
•[EFFECT] in the Dual Mode
Depending upon the conditions one effect type will take priority over the
other. Depth will be decided according to the depth default value of the
voice combination. However, using function F3 (see page 28) you can
change the depth value for each voice as you like.
Effect depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [–/NO] or
[+/YES] buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button — see page 19) will
be applied to the 1st Voice only.
•[REVERB] in the Dual Mode
The reverb type assigned to the 1st Voice will take priority over the other.
(If the reverb is set to OFF, the 2nd Voice’s reverb type will be in affect.)
Reverb depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [–/NO] or
[+/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button — see page 18) will
be applied to the 1st Voice only.

Touch Sensitivity
Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity —HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT
or FIXED —can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences.
To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few
times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the
indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH] button is pressed).
HARD
The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to
produce maximum loudness.
MEDIUM
The MEDIUM setting produces a fairly “standard”keyboard response.
This is the initial factory default setting.
SOFT
The SOFT setting allows maximum loudness to be produced with
relatively light key pressure.
FIXED (no indicator lit)
All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the
keyboard is played.
When the FIXED type is selected, the volume of notes played in the
FIXED mode can be set by using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons
while the [TOUCH] button is held (the current volume level appears on
the display). The volume range is from 1 through 127. The default
setting is 80.
•This setting does not change the weight of the keyboard.
•The touch sensitivity type and volume set in the FIXED mode will become
the common setting for all voices. However, the touch sensitivity settings
may have little or no effect with certain voices which are not normally
responsive to keyboard dynamics (Refer to the “Voice Descriptions”on
page 38).
