Setting Up

Power supply connections

Using An AC Power Adaptor

1.	Make sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of the YPP-100 is set to STANDBY.

2.	Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, PA-5C or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.

3.	Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

CAUTION
Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor) during any YPP-100 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.

WARNING
Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D or PA-5C 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-100.
Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the YPP-100, or during electrical storms.
Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor will reset the YPP-100 to the defaults.


Accessory Jacks

CAUTION
Before connecting the YPP-100 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.

Using the OUTPUT R and L/L+R Jacks
The OUTPUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the YPP-100 for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the YPP-100 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-100's sound.

CAUTION
When the YPP-100's OUTPUT jacks are connected to an external sound system, first turn the YPP-100 power on, and then the power to the external amplifier/speaker system. Reverse this order when turning the power off.

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-100. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the YPP-100 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the YPP-100 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.

NOTE
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.

Using the PHONES Jacks
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.


Music Rest
The YPP-100 is supplied with a music rest that can be attached to the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control panel.
