GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compati-

ble music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of

manufacturer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM

System Level.

XGlite

As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simplified version of Yamaha’s high-quality XG tone genera-

tion format. Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator.

However, keep in mind that some songs may play back differently compared to the original

data, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.

USB

USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a com-

puter with peripheral Devices. It allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the

power to the computer is on).

Setting Up

Power Requirements

Although the instrument will run either from an AC

adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an

AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is

more environmentally friendly than batteries and

does not deplete resources.

Using an AC Adaptor

Connect the AC adaptor in the order shown in the

illustration.

Using Batteries

This instrument requires the following batteries.

• PSR-E453: Six “AA” size alkaline (LR6), manganese

(R6) or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.

• PSR-EW400: Six “D” size alkaline (LR20), manga-

nese (R20) or Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.

The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH batter-

ies are recommended for this instrument, since other

types may result in poorer battery performance.

1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off.

2 Open the battery compartment cover located on

the instrument’s bottom panel.

• You should use an AC adaptor when executing USB flash

drive operations, since battery power may not be reliable

enough to last through these crucial operations.

• Use the specified AC adaptor (page 72) only. Using the

wrong AC adaptor can result in damage to the instrument

or overheating.

• When using the AC adaptor with a removable plug, make

sure to keep the plug attached to the AC adaptor. Using the

plug alone can cause electric shock or fire.

• Never touch the metallic section when attaching the plug.

To avoid electric shock, short circuit or damage, also be

careful that there is no dust between the AC adaptor and

plug.

3 Insert the six new batteries, putting them in the

correct direction according to the illustration.

4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that

it locks firmly in place.

 Setting the battery type

Depending on the battery type to be used, you may

need to change the battery type setting on this instru-

ment. To change the setting, first turn on the power to

the instrument, then choose the battery type you

would like to use. Alkaline (and manganese) batteries

are chosen by default. For details, refer to page 61,

Function 068 (PSR-E453)/Function 069 (PSR-

EW400).

 Checking the power status

You can confirm the power source at the left corner of

the display.

: The power is supplied from the AC adaptor.

: The power is supplied from the batteries.

Remaining battery power indication

• Connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor with batteries

installed may turn the power off, resulting in loss of data

being recorded or transferred at the time.

• Make sure to set the battery type correctly (page 15).

• When battery power becomes too low for proper operation,

the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted,

and other problems may occur. When this happens, make

sure to replace all batteries with new ones or already-

recharged ones.

NOTICE

• This instrument cannot charge the batteries. Use only the

specified charger device when charging.

• Power will be automatically drawn from the AC adaptor if an

AC adaptor is connected while batteries are installed in the

instrument.

• Failure to set the battery type may shorten the amount of

the battery life. Make sure to set the battery type correctly.

• When the AC adaptor is plugged in to the AC outlet, the bat-

tery icon does not appear even when batteries are inserted. In

this case, the power is supplied from the AC adaptor.

Indicates that the power will be turned off immedi-

ately. When rechargeable batteries are used, this

icon flashes before the power is turned off.

Indicates that remaining power is insufficient for

operation. Before the power runs out, replace all

the batteries with new ones, or fully recharged

ones (when using rechargeable types). Note that

the instrument may not work properly, including

unusually soft volume and poor sound quality

when remaining power becomes low.

EW400).

 Disabling Auto Power Off (simple method)

Turn the power on while holding down the lowest key

on the keyboard. Then the instrument starts up with

the Auto Power Off function disabled.

Adjusting the Master Volume

To adjust the volume of the entire keyboard sound,

use the [MASTER VOLUME] control while playing

Connecting Headphones or an

External Device

 Connecting Headphones

Connect a pair of headphones to the [PHONES/

OUTPUT]/[PHONES] jack on the rear panel.

The built-in speakers are automatically shut off when

a plug is inserted into this jack.

 Connecting an External Device

• PSR-E453: This jack also functions as an external

output. By connecting to a computer, keyboard

amplifier, recorder, or other audio device, you can

• Even when the power is off, a small amount of electricity is

still being consumed by the instrument. When you are not

using the instrument for a long time, make sure to unplug

the AC adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

• Press only the [ ] (Standby/On) switch when turning the

power on. Any other operations such as pressing keys,

buttons or the pedal are not allowed. Doing so may cause

the instrument to malfunction.

• When the instrument is not operated for a specified period

of time while connected to an external device such as an

amplifier, speaker or computer, make sure to follow the

instructions in the Owner’s Manual to turn off the power to

the instrument and the connected devices, in order to pro-

tect the devices from damage. If you do not want the

power to turn off automatically when a device is con-

nected, disable Auto Power Off.

• Generally, the data and settings are maintained even when the

power is turned off. For details, see page 39.

• Do not use the instrument for a long period of time at a

high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause

permanent hearing loss.

are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted

into this jack.

• PSR-EW400: When connecting an external

speaker, refer to page 38.

Using a Pedal (Sustain)

You can produce a natural sustain as you play by

pressing a footswitch (FC5 or FC4A; sold separately)

plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack.

Using a Keyboard Stand

The following keyboard stands (sold separately) can

be used.

• PSR-E453: L-2C

• PSR-EW400: L-6

When using L-6 Keyboard Stand

(PSR-EW400)

The exterior size of PSR-EW400 is beyond the limits

as described in the L-6 Assembly Instructions. How-

ever, we have determined through tests that the

stand can be safely used for the instrument. When

setting the instrument, place it on the center of the

stand as shown in the illustration.

• Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a

high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause

permanent hearing loss.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic com-

ponents, turn off the power of all the components. Also,

before turning any components on or off, make sure to set

all volume levels to minimum. Otherwise, damage to the

components or electrical shock may occur.

• To avoid possible damage to the external device, first turn

on the power to the instrument, then to the external device.

When turning off the power, do so in reverse order: first

turn off the power to the external device, then to the instru-

ment.

• Plug or unplug the footswitch while the power is off. Also, do

not press the footswitch when turning the power on. Doing so

changes the polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed

operation.

• The sustain function does not affect Split Voices (page 21).

• Some Voices may sound continuously or have a long decay

after the notes have been released while the footswitch is

held.

CAUTION

NOTICE

NOTE

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where

it might accidentally slip down. This could cause physical

injury to you or others, as well as damage to the instru-

ment or other property.

Place the instrument so

that the left and right

parts of the stand are

inside the protrusions on

the bottom panel of the

instrument.

Make sure that the bottom of

the instrument firmly rests on

the stoppers.
