For information on assembling the keyboard stand, refer to the instructions at the end of this manual.
IMPORTANT — Check your power supply — (YDP-161)
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom
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.

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 connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-
connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause
overheating in the outlet.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always
hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be
used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly
process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might
result in damage to the instrument or even injury.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might
accidentally 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
turn 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.
• 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.
• 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 insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
Also take care that the key cover does not pinch your finger.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the
key cover, 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.
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time
at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent
hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears,
consult a physician.
• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might
accidentally fall over.
• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or
stepladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.
• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the
possibility of accident or injury.
• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten
them periodically using the included tool.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
YDP-141
Even when the power switch is in the “Standby” position, 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 power cord from the wall AC outlet.

*1 The PRODUCT ID on the sheet will be needed when you fill out the User Registration form.
*2 Included or optional depending on locale.
■ Tuning
Unlike an acoustic piano, this instrument does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.
■ Transporting
If you move to another location, you can transport this instrument along with your other belongings. You can move the
unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit before moving.
Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the
instrument to excessive vibration or shock.
■ AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling
The Yamaha YDP-161/141 digital piano offers a rich and versatile range of sounds, which are created using
Yamaha’s proprietary sampling tone-generation system, “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling.”
The AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system which creates sound close to that of an acoustic
instrument by using digital technology to record the instrument sound and applying high-quality digital filter
technology to the recorded audio samples.
The waveform of the sound created by playing the key of an acoustic piano differs depending on the playing
strength from pianissimo to fortissimo. The AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can produce such dynamic nuances
by recording samples of various playing strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the higher the
expressive quality and potential becomes.
■ GH (Graded Hammer) keyboard and GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) keyboard
A special Graded Hammer keyboard on the YDP-161, and Graded Hammer Standard keyboard on the YDP-
141, feature graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range. They respond to a heavier touch
in the low range of the keyboard and a lighter touch in the higher range of the keyboard, thus providing natural
grand-piano type playability.
The Graded Hammer keyboard also offers superb playability for tremolo and other repetitive-striking
techniques.
■ Useful function for practicing
Your digital piano features a Part Cancel Function. You can record your left-hand and right-hand parts, and then
play them separately; left- and right-hand part. You can also practice a one-hand part while playing the other-
hand part from one of the 50 preset songs.
A built-in metronome is a convenient practice tool to help you develop accurate timing

WARNING (YDP-161)
• Make sure your digital piano is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which the piano will be used. (The voltage
rating appears on the name plate on the bottom 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. Connecting the unit to an inappropriate AC supply can seriously damage the internal circuitry and may even pose
a shock hazard!
• Use only the AC power cord supplied with the instrument. If the supplied power cord is lost or damaged and needs to be
replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and shock hazard!
• The type of AC power cord provided with the instrument may be different depending on the country in which the
instrument was purchased. (In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided to match the pin configuration of the AC wall

Using the Pedals
If the damper pedal doesn’t
work, make sure that the
pedal cord is properly
plugged into the main unit
(page 35).
Organ and string voices will
continue to sound for as long
as the sostenuto pedal is
depressed.
Damper (Right) pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper
pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the
pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
The damper pedal features a half-pedal function.
Sostenuto (Center) pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press
the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those
notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the
damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently
played notes will not be sustained. This makes it
possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other
notes are played “staccato.”
Soft (Left) pedal
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while
the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is
pressed.
Damper Resonance (YDP-161)
The Damper Resonance effect simulates the sustain sound of the damper pedal on a grand piano, as if you were pressing
the damper pedal and playing the keyboard. This effect is applied to the entire sound of the instrument.
Default setting:
ONTurning the Damper Resonance effect on or off
While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press the G
2 key to turn Damper
Resonance “ON”.
While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press the G2 key to turn Damper
Resonance “OFF”.
What is the half-pedal
function?
This function allows the
sustain length to vary
depending on how far the
pedal is pressed. The
farther you press the pedal,
the more the sound
sustains. For example, if
you press the damper pedal
and all notes you are
playing sound a bit murky
and loud with too much
sustain, you can release the
pedal half way to subdue
the sustain (murkiness)
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you play
before you release the pedal
sustain longer.
When you press the sostenuto
pedal here while holding the
note, the note will sustain as
long as you hold the pedal.

You can layer two voices and play them simultaneously to create a thicker and suppler sound.
1 Engage Dual mode.
You cannot assign the same
voice to Voice 1 and Voice 2
simultaneously in Dual mode.
Reverb in Dual mode
The reverb type assigned to

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 mode:
Setting the octave
You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for Voice 1 and Voice 2
independently.
Depending on which voices you combine in Dual mode, the combination may
sound better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave.
While holding down the [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the C5–F5 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 [PIANO/VOICE] button, press one of the F
5–F
6 keys. A
setting of “0” produces an equal balance between the two Dual mode 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 Exit Dual mode and return to normal play mode.
