PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage
is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5D, PA-150 or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument
or overheating.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• 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.
• 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 any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the
power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
• 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.
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:
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during

Before Using
Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.
Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recom-
mends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly
than batteries and does not deplete resources.
Using an AC Power Adaptor...............................................................
1. Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch
of the instrument is set to STANDBY.
WARNING
Use the specified adaptor (PA-5D, PA-150, or an equivalent recom-
mended by Yamaha) only. The use of other adaptors may result in
irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument.
2. Connect the AC adaptor to the power sup-
ply jack.
3. Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or
during electrical storms.
CAUTION
Even when the instrument is turned off, electricity is still flowing to
the instrument at the minimum level.
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure
you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Using Batteries ....................................................................................
1. Open the battery compartment cover
located on the instrument’s bottom panel.
2. Insert the six new alkaline batteries, being
careful to follow the polarity markings on
the side of the compartment.
3. Replace the compartment cover, making
sure that it locks firmly in place.
For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V
“AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batter-
ies are recommended.) When battery power becomes
too low for proper operation, the volume may be
reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other prob-
lems may occur. When this happens, make sure to
replace all batteries, following the precautions listed
below.
CAUTION
Use alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries
(including rechargeable batteries) may have sudden drops of power
when battery power becomes low.
Make sure to install the batteries with the proper orientation, main-
taining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation
may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals.
When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six
new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use different
kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.
If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the bat-
teries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the bat-
tery.
Tur ning the Power On
Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power.
The power indicator located to the left of the [STANDBY/ON] switch
lights up.
Pressing the switch again turns the power off.
CAUTION
When using a power adaptor, 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 power adaptor
from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.
Never connect or disconnect the AC power adaptor when the
power is on and the batteries are installed. Doing so will turn
the power off.

Setting the Volume
Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] slider about halfway between the
“MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the
[MASTER VOLUME] slider to the most comfortable listening level.
Using the Pedal
[SUSTAIN] jack
This jack is for connecting an optional pedal.
The pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic
piano. Connect an optional pedal to this jack and press the pedal to sus-
tain the sound.
Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this
changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed
footswitch operation.
If you connect an optional pedal of FC3, the half pedal function* can be
used.

cloudy sound, release the foot from pedal to half position.
Using Headphones
Connect a set of headphones to the [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack.
CAUTION
To protect your hearing, avoid listening to the NP-30/YNP-25 at a high vol-
ume level for long periods of time.
Music Rest
The NP-30/YNP-25 includes a music rest that can be attached to the
instrument by inserting it into the slot at the top of the control panel.
CAUTION
Since speakers are built into the instrument you should be careful to never
leave any video tapes, cassette tapes, floppy disks or any kind of magnetic
storage media on the panel—doing so may result in data loss or damage to
the items. Also avoid using the instrument near a television or computer
monitor, since interference may result.

Combining Voices (Dual)
You can play voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you can
combine similar voices to create a thicker sound.
1. While holding down the [GRAND PIANO] button,
press two keys in the range of C1 through A1 simul-
taneously (or press one key while holding another)
to engage Dual.
Refer to “Selecting Voices” on page 18 for more information on the voices that
are assigned to the keys.
The voice assigned to the lower key will be designated as Voice 1, and the voice
assigned to the higher key will be designated as Voice 2.
You can make the following settings for Voices 1 and 2 in Dual:
Setting the Octave
You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for Voice 1 and Voice 2 inde-
pendently. Depending on which voices you combine in Dual, the combination
may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave.
While holding down the [GRAND PIANO] button, press one of the C4–F4 keys.
Setting the Balance
You can adjust the volume balance between two voices. For example, you can set
one voice as the main voice with a louder setting, and make the other voice softer.
While holding down the [
GRAND
PIANO] button, press one of the F#4–F#5
keys.
A setting of “0” produces an equal balance between the two Dual voices. Settings
below “0” increase the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Voice 1, and settings above
“0” increase the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.
2. While holding down the [GRAND PIANO] button,
press one of the C1–A1 keys (or press the [GRAND
PIANO/VOICE] button) to exit Dual and return to
the normal single-voice play.
Reverb in Dual
The reverb type assigned to
Voice 1 will take priority. If the
reverb assigned to Voice 1 is set
to OFF, the reverb assigned to
Voice 2 will be in effect.
