IMPORTANT —Check your power supply—
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the \
name plate on the 
b

ottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the bottom panel of the main 
keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. 
The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. \
To change the setting use a minus 
screwdriver to rotate the selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the panel.
For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.

voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which m\
ay  have accumulated on it.
• Use only the supplied power cord/plug.
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiato\

objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, tri\
p 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 h\
ave it 
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or we\
t 
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spi\
ll into 
any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, tur\

s.  Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result i\
n 
damage to the instrument or even injury.  • 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 accid\
entally 
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using \
is  easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately tu\
rn off 
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the \
power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the 
minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make \
sure 
to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inc\
h from  the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibl\
y result in 
the instrument overheating.

The instrument is compatible with the following formats.“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard 
specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased 
polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to pro-
vide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compat-
ibility of data well into the future.
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the 
GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control 
over Voices and effects.
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with gr\
eater functionality and open-
ended expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file contai\
ning lyric 
data is played.
“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to pro-
vide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord\
 types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an 
enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.
(CVP-509/505/503)
VH (Vocal Harmony) employs the digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropr\

monies to a lead vocal line sung by the user.
