A. Power Source
The YPR-9 normally uses internal batteries. It
can also use household AC power by connect-
ing the optional PA-4 or PA-40 Power Adaptor
to the DC IN Jack on the rear panel. (See the
PA-4 or PA-40 for instructions.) Other adaptors
cannot be used. Yamaha is not responsible for
damage from unauthorized power adaptors.
Remove the Battery Compartment Cover on
the bottom panel. Load six 1.5V SUM-1, D
cells, or R-20 batteries into the Battery Com-
partment, observing the battery polarity shown
inside the Compartment. Replace the Cover so
it locks in place.
* Replace all batteries at same time.
* Don't mix normal batteries with Ni-Cd, alka-
line, or other types.
* Remove batteries when storing unit for long
periods.
* Using optional Power Adaptor disconnects
batteries.
B. Connecting the Foot Switch
Connect the supplied Foot Switch to the
DAMPER Jack on the rear panel.
C. External amplifiers
For a more powerful sound, use Yamaha's
PSC-3 or equivalent connecting cords and
connect the AUX OUT Jacks on the rear panel
to your stereo system, etc.

on the keyboard. Change voices if you want.
When you finish, press the OFF Button. Now
` press the PLAY Button. The YPR-9 will play
what you played, in the same voice. You can
also change voices. Press the OFF Button
when you're finished. The performance will re-
main in the memory for about one week after
the power is turned off.
* Up to 700 notes can be recorded in the Per-
formance Memory. If you exceed this, a
beeper sounds, and no more notes can be
recorded.
Transpose
Holding down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE Selector
and pressing keys between F*« and Fs raises
or lowers the key in 1/2 step units over a one
octave range. The keys between C*s and Fs

MIDI SEND CHANNEL MIDI RECEIVE CHANNEL Bsc,
The YPR-9 is a MIDI keyboard, so you can play it together with other MIDI instruments.
You can play another instrument from the YPR-9 keyboard, or vice versa.
MIDI Connections
Use a MIDI cable and connect the MIDI IN
and MIDI OUT Jacks on the rear panel of the
YPR-9 to the MIDI OUT and MIDI IN Jacks of
another MIDI instrument, rhythm machine,
computer or sequencer.
1. MIDI channels
MIDI has 16 channels for ‘sending’ and
“receiving” data. Each channel can be set to
send and/or receive data.
In the default mode (when the power is turned
on), all 16 MIDI channels can receive data
(OMNI ON). Data can be sent only on channel
1. However, specific MIDI send and receive
channels can also be designated as follows.
e Setting the send channel
To set the MIDI send channel, hold down the
MIDI/TRANSPOSE Button and press any of the
16 keys between C: and D*». Each key cor-
responds to one MIDI channel, in order from
the lowest to the highest.
* Setting the receive channel
Holding down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE Button,
first press the As key (OMNI OFF), then press
any of the 16 keys between Cs and D*s. Each
key corresponds to one MIDI channel, in order
from the lowest to the highest.
2. Local On and Local Off
Hold down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE Button and
press the A*s key to activate LOCAL OFF, dis-
connecting the keyboard from the tone gener-
ation circuitry. Repeat the procedure to
activate LOCAL ON, which reconnects the
keyboard and tone generation circuitry.

3. Cancelling Program Change
Hold down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE Button and
press the Bs key to cancel PROGRAM
CHANGE. Now voice change data will not be
sent. Repeat the procedure to reactivate PRO-
GRAM CHANGE.
4. Cancelling Control Change
Hold down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE Button and
press the Ce key to cancel CONTROL
CHANGE. Now damper (sustain) data will not
be sent. Repeat the procedure to reactivate
CONTROL CHANGE.
Note
The specifications of many MIDI instruments differ
slightly from each other. Refer to the MIDI Im-
plementation Chart for each instrument to deter-
mine what is and what is not possible. The MIDI
Implementation Chart for the YPR-9 is on the last
page of this manual.

FCC INFORMATION
Attention users in the U.S.A.
Portable Piano YPR-9 prepared in accordance with FCC rules.
The Portable Piano YPR-9 uses frequencies that appear in the radio frequency range, and if installed in the immediate proximity (within
three meters) of some types of audio or video devices interference may occur.
The Portable Piano YPR-9 has been type tested and found to comply with the specifications set for a Class B computing device in
accordance with those specifications listed in Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC rules. These rules are designed to provide a reasonable
measure of protection against such interference. However, this does not guarantee that interference will not occur. If your Portable Piano
YPR-9 should be suspected of causing interference with other electronic devices, verification can be made by turning your Portable Piano
YPR-9 off and on. If the interference continues when your Portable Piano YPR-9 is off, Portable Piano YPR-9 is not the source of the
interference. If your Portable Piano YPR-9 does appear to be the source of the interference, you should try to correct the situation by
using one or more of the following measures:
Relocate either the Portable Piano YPR-9 or the electronic device that is being affected by the interference.
Utilize power outlets for the Portable Piano YPR-9 and the device being affected that are on different branch (circuit breaker of fuse)
circuits, or install A/C line filters.
In the case of radio-TV interference, relocate the antenna or, if the antenna lead-in is a 300 ohm ribbon lead, change the lead-in to
a co-axial type cable.
If these corrective measures do not produce satisfactory results, please contact your Authorized Yamaha dealer for suggestions and/or
corrective measures. If you cannot locate an Authorized Yamaha dealer in your general area, contact the Service Division, Yamaha Inter-
national, 6600 Orangethorpe Ave., Buana Park, CA 90620.
If for any reason, you should need additional information relating to radio or TV interference, you may find a booklet prepared by
the Federal Communications Commission helpful: **How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems". This booklet is available
from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402—Stock #004-000-345-4,
