Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acciden-
tally fall over.
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.
Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the
stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfort-

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modi-
fications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.
PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
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.
Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polar-
ity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery
fluid leakage.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries to-
gether with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batter-
ies with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different
types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating,
fire, or battery fluid leakage.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from
it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.
Keep batteries away from children.
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.

Portable Grand
Yamaha Education Suite
The PortaTone also has a Portable Grand function for realistic piano performance. Pressing the
PORTABLE GRAND button instantly calls up the stunningly authentic “Stereo Sampled Piano” voice
and configures the entire PortaTone for optimum piano play. Special Piano styles — with piano-only
accompaniment — are also provided.
The PSR-248 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use keyboard with the following fea-
tures and functions:
Main Features
The PortaTone features the new Yamaha Education Suite — a set of learning tools that utilize the latest
technology to make studying and practicing music more fun and fulfilling than ever before!
The Yamaha Education Suite includes:
Powerful Melody Guide functions in the Song mode — Waiting and Minus One — that let you
easily learn the 100 songs and even show you what notes to play!
• Waiting pauses song playback (like a patient teacher!), so you can practice at your own pace.
• Minus One mutes only the melody part, letting you play the part yourself. The expert
backing parts encourage you to play your best and make it easy to “feel” the song!
Chord Guide functions in the Style mode — Smart and Dictionary — that make it exceptionally
easy to learn chords and chord relationships.
• Smart lets you easily play harmonically “correct” chord progressions for whatever key you
specify. It’s great for learning — and performing!
• Dictionary is a built-in “chord encyclopedia” that teaches you how to play specific chords.
You type in the chord name, and the PortaTone shows you which notes to play!
page 26-27, 34-35, 37-39
page 13
Other powerful features include:
• Exceptionally realistic and dynamic sounds with
100 voices, utilizing digital recordings of actual
instruments.
• Touch Response lets you dynamically and expres-
sively control the volume of the voices with your
playing strength — just as on an acoustic piano.
• 100 dynamic auto accompaniment Styles, each
with different Intro, Main A and B, and Ending
sections. All styles (except for the Piano styles) also
have their own four Fill-in patterns.
Large custom LCD gives you easy, at-a-glance confirma-
tion of all important settings, as well as chord and note
indications.
• 100 songs, for your listening enjoyment — or for
use with the sophisticated learning tools of the
Yamaha Education Suite.
Convenient control over accompaniment Styles —
including Tempo and independent Accompaniment
Volume.
• One Touch Setting (OTS), for automatically calling
up an appropriate voice for playing with the selected
Style.
• MIDI terminals for interfacing with other MIDI
devices. The PSR-248 also has a Sustain switch jack.
• Built-in, high-quality stereo amplifier/speaker
system.

This section contains information about setting up your PortaTone for playing.
Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.
Setting Up
Power Requirements
Although the PSR-248 will run either from an
optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha
recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever
possible. An AC adaptor is more environmen-
tally friendly than batteries and does not deplete
resources.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
To connect your PortaTone to a wall socket, you
will need the optionally available Yamaha PA-3B
Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could
result in damage to the instrument, so be sure
to ask for the right kind. Connect one end of
the adaptor to the DC IN 10-12V jack on the
rear panel of your PortaTone, and the other end
to a suitable electrical outlet.
WARNING
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B 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 PSR-
248.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-248,
or during electrical storms.
Using Batteries
Inserting Batteries
Turn the instrument upside-down and remove
the battery compartment lid. Insert six 1.5-volt
size “D” (SUM-1, R-20 or equivalent) batteries
as shown in the illustration, making sure that
the positive and negative terminals are properly
aligned, and replace the lid.
When the Batteries Run Down
When the batteries run low and the battery
voltage drops below a certain level, the
PortaTone may not sound or function properly.
As soon as this happens, replace them with a
complete set of six new batteries.
CAUTION
• Never mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries (e.g., alkaline and manganese).
• To prevent possible damage from battery leakage, remove
the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for a
long time.
CAUTION
• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position,
electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum
level. When you are not using the PSR-248 for a long time,
make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC
outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.
Turning On the Power
With the AC power adaptor connected or with
batteries installed, simply press the STANDBY
switch until it locks in the ON position. When
the instrument is not in use, be sure to turn the
power off. (Press the switch again so that it
pops up.)

NOTE:
• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to
the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.
• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on.
Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch,
resulting in reversed footswitch operation.
Using the MIDI Terminals
The PortaTone also features MIDI terminals,
allowing you to interface the PortaTone with
other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more
information, see page 41.)
Music Stand
Insert the bottom edge of the included music
stand into the slot located at the top rear of the
PortaTone control panel.
Setting Up
SUSTAIN
IN OUTMIDI
MIDI instrument
Using a Sustain Footswitch
This feature lets you use an optional footswitch
(Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the sound of
the keyboard voice. This is used in the same
way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano —
press and hold down the footswitch as you play
the keyboard to sustain the sound.
Accessory Jacks
Using Headphones
For private practicing and playing without
disturbing others, connect a set of stereo head-
phones to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack.
Sound from the built-in speaker system is auto-
matically cut off when you insert a headphone
plug into this jack.
Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo
System
Though the PortaTone is equipped with a built-
in speaker system, you can also play it through
an external amplifier/speaker system. First,
make sure the PortaTone and any external
devices are turned off, then connect one end of
a stereo audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN
jack(s) of the other device and the other end to
the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the
PortaTone.
CAUTION
• To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the
external devices at the minimum setting before connecting
them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric
shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes
of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the
volume controls while playing the instrument to set the
desired listening level.

Getting Started —
Playing the Demo Songs
The PortaTone has a huge variety of Demo songs, specially recorded to showcase
the dynamic sounds and rhythms and give you an idea of what you can do with
the instrument.
First, turn on the power.
Press the STANDBY/ON button. Whenever the power is
turned on, the Voice mode is automatically called up
and set to play Voice 1 (GrandPno).
Set the Volume.
Initially, turn the MASTER VOLUME control about a third
of the way up. You can adjust the control for optimum
level once the songs start playing.
Press the DEMO button.
All 100 songs will play in sequence. You can play along on the keyboard
with the songs. If the Voice Change function is on (page 27), the key-
board voice will change to match the changes in the song of the melody
voice.
The current song name and number appear at the left of the display.
Notice also that the display indicates both the chords (except for song #1,
“StarWars”) and the melody notes (in the music staves and the keyboard
diagram) as they change during the song. (Scores for the Demo songs are
provided.)
To stop playback, press the START/STOP (>/)
button. For information on selecting and playing
individual songs, see page 20.
While the Demo song is playing...
Many features of the PortaTone can be used while the
Demo songs are playing. These include:
• Tempo (page 21)
• Song volume (page 23)
• Tuning (page 19)
• Pause (❙❙), Rewind (r), Fast Forward (f) (page 24)
• Voice Change (page 27)

active, the display also shows the
specific notes of the current chord.
The indication “8va” appears at the
lower or upper part of the notation
staff for a note or notes that are
respectively an octave lower or
higher than notated.
NOTE:
For a few specific chords (such as BM7), not all notes may be
shown in the notation section of the display. This is due to
space limitations in the display.
E Measure/Tempo and beat
This shows either the current measure (when the
Song mode is selected) or the current Tempo
value (when the Style mode is selected). The
hand clap icons also flash to indicate the beats in
the measure during song or style playback. (See
page 22.)
F Chord
When a song is being played back, this indicates
the current chord root and type. It also indicates
chords played in the ACMP section of the key-
board when the Style mode and auto accompani-
ment are on.
G Song/Voice/Style name and number
This portion of the display indicates the name and
number of the currently selected song, voice, or
style. When other functions of the PortaTone are
selected, it briefly shows the function name and
current value or setting.
B Overall function bar indicator
The PortaTone has seven Overall functions or
controls. The currently selected function is indi-
cated by a dark bar that appears next to its name
(printed on the panel).

The Voice mode features 100 authentic voices that have been
created with Yamaha’s sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave
Memory) tone generation system. Many of these voices also
have special preset characteristics or embellishments. The
voices are divided into various categories depending on their
characteristics or the effects used.

There are three ways to select voices: 1) directly
entering the voice number with the numeric
keypad, 2) using the +/- keys to step up and
down through the voices, or 3) pressing the
VOICE button to advance through the voice
numbers.
Using the numeric keypad
Enter the digits of the voice number as printed
on the panel. For example, to select voice #42,
press “4” on the numeric keypad, then “2.”
Using the +/- keys
Press the + key to select the next voice number,
and press the - key to select the previous voice.
Holding down either key continuously scrolls up
or down through the numbers. The +/- keys
have a “wrap around” feature. For example,
pressing the + key from the voice 100 returns to
voice 1.
Using the VOICE button
Press the VOICE button to select the next voice
number. (This functions exactly the same as the
+ button.)
NOTE:
Each voice is automatically called up with the most suitable
octave range setting. Thus, playing middle C with one voice
may sound higher or lower than another voice at the same
key.

NOTE:
When selecting Voice numbers 1 - 10, the PortaTone pauses
briefly before changing to the voice. (However, you can
quickly select the voice by pressing all three digits; for
example, select voice #9 by pressing “0,” “0,” then “9.”)
Pressing only “0” does not change the voice.

Play the selected voice.
To change to another voice, repeat step 2 above.
If the Song or Style mode is active in the background (indi-
cated by a C-shaped bar in the display), you can also play
songs or styles, respectively, in the Voice mode by simply
pressing the START/STOP (>/) button. The last selected
song or style will be played.
NOTE:
The PortaTone is polyphonic up to a
maximum of 16 notes. (Depending on
the voice selected — such as split voices
and dual voices — fewer notes may be
available.) This includes not only the
notes played from the keyboard, but also
the notes in a style pattern, the notes
played by a Pad (page 40), and so on.
Thus, if you play too many notes at one
time, some may not sound and/or others
may be cancelled.

Harmony voices (#61 - #70) automatically add a
one-, two- or three-note harmony to the origi-
nal voice. Split voices (#71 - #80) feature two
separate voices, each playable from opposite
sections of the keyboard — the lower voice
playable up to B2 and the upper voice from C3
(middle C). Echo voices (#81 - #90) provide an
echo effect that adds delayed repeats to the
original voice. Dual voices (#91 - #99) blend
two voices together for a rich, layered sound.
Also included are special Percussion voices —
#90 (with Echo) and #100 — that let you play
various drum and percussion sounds from the
keyboard. (Refer to the Percussion Voice chart
below.) Symbols are also printed above the
keyboard, conveniently indicating which sounds
are played from which keys.
NOTE: About the Harmony voices
Since Harmony voices are designed to automatically play two
or more notes with the notes you play on the keyboard, only
one note can be played on the keyboard at a time. If several
notes are played together, only the last note or highest note
played will be used for the harmony effect.
The type of harmony used depends on the
particular voice that is selected.

Transpose and Tuning
You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the PortaTone with the Trans-
pose and Tuning functions.
Transpose
Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment of the
selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and the Multi Pads. This allows you to easily
match the pitch of the PortaTone to other instruments or singers, or play in a different key without
changing your fingering. The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 12 semitones (± 1
octave).
Select the Transpose function in the Overall menu.
Press one of the OVERALL s/t buttons, repeatedly if necessary, until “Tun-
ing” appears in the display.
Change the value.
Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the Transpose value.
Holding down either button continuously increases or decreases the value.
Restoring the Default Transpose Value
If you’ve changed the Transpose setting, you can instantly
restore the default setting of “00” by pressing both
OVERALL +/- buttons simultaneously (when Transpose is
selected in the Overall menu).
NOTE:
This setting has no effect on the DrumKit voice (#90, #100).
Also, this setting cannot be changed during song playback.

Select the Tuning function in the Overall menu.
Press one of the OVERALL s/t buttons, repeatedly if necessary, until “Tuning” appears in the
display.
Tuning
Tuning determines the fine pitch setting of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment
of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and the Multi Pads. This allows you to
accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments. The Tuning settings can be adjusted over
a range of ± 50 (approx. ± 0.5 semitones).
Change the value.
Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the Tuning
value. Holding down either button continuously increases or
decreases the value.
Restoring the Default Tuning Value
If you’ve changed the Tuning setting, you can instantly restore the default
setting of “00” by pressing both OVERALL +/- buttons simultaneously (when
Tuning is selected in the Overall menu).

The PortaTone features a Touch Response function that gives you dynamic, expressive control over
the volume of the voices. The Touch Sensitivity parameter lets you set the degree of Touch Response.
To turn on Touch Response, press the TOUCH button.
Change the Touch Sensitivity value.
Simultaneously hold down the TOUCH button, and press
the appropriate numbered button on the numeric keypad:
1, 2, or 3.
A setting of “1” results in a narrow dynamic range, no
matter how lightly or strongly you play the keys. A setting
of “2” provides a normal dynamic range from soft to loud,
while “3” (default setting) results in a wide dynamic range
that lets you play from very soft to very loud.

Selecting and Playing Songs —
The Song Mode
The Song mode features 100 special songs that have been created using the rich
and dynamic sounds of the PortaTone.
The songs are generally for your listening enjoyment; however, you can also play along with them on
the keyboard. A Voice Change function lets you set whether the keyboard voice changes or not with
the voice changes in the song itself. Also, by using the Minus One function, you can “mute” the
original melody and play it manually on the keyboard yourself.
Selecting and Playing a Song
Select the Song mode.
Press the SONG button.
Select the desired song number.
Use the numeric keypad. The basic categories of songs and
their numbers are shown at the right of the panel.
Song numbers can be selected in the same way as with the
voices (see page 16). You can use the numeric keypad to
directly enter the song number, use the +/- keys to step up
and down through the songs, or press the SONG button to
advance through the song numbers.
Start the selected song.
Press the START/STOP (>/) button. As the song plays back,
the measure number, chords and melody notes are shown in
the display.
