• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other 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, plastic or rubber 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha)
only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or
overheating.
• 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:
• 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.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always
hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-con-
nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause over-
heating in the outlet.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, 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. Also, be sure to set the
volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the
volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening
level.
• 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 inter-
nal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions,
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 acciden-
tally fall over.
■SAVING USER DATA
• Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3,
in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or
user operating error.

3 OUTPUT Jacks : L and R Pin jacks, L/L+R and R Phone Jacks
The P-80 is equipped with both Pin and Phone OUTPUT jacks to
deliver the output of the P-80 for connection to an instrument ampli-
fier, mixing console, PA system or recording equipment. The Pin
connectors (L and R) provide easy connection to a home audio
system, etc. The L/L+R Phone Jack allows connection of the P-80 to
a monaural sound system. 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 P-80’s
sound.

The Dual Mode
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 right, lower valued voice numbers will be desig-
nated as the 1st Voice (the other voice will be designated as the 2nd
Voice).

voice can sometimes be used with another voice in the Dual Mode
to produce a better “blend”.
NOTE
•The dual and split modes cannot be engaged at the same time.
•The [VARIATION] button indicator will light if the variation is engaged
for either or both of the dual-mode voices. While the dual mode is
engaged the [VARIATION] button can be used to turn the variation
for both voices on or off. To use the variation for only one of the
voices the setting must be made prior to engaging the dual mode.
• [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 the [–/NO ▼ ] or [+/YES ▲ ]
buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button —see page 18) will be
applied to the 1st Voice only.
• [REVERB] in the Dual Mode

entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12
semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). “Transposing”the pitch
of the P-80 keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can
easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instru-
mentalist.
This control can be used to change the tonality or “timbre”of the sound
output. The control range is from MELLOW to BRIGHT.
