DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525 Owner's Manual 7 Special Features of the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525 Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard (DGX-620/YPG-625 Only) Thanks to our experience as the world's leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we've developed a keyboard with action that's virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard's sensitivity can even be adjusted to match your playing style. This Graded Hammer technology also enables the DGX-620/YPG-625 to provide authentic touch in a lightweight instrument. Performance assistant technology Page 35 Play along with a song on the instrument's keyboard and produce a perfect performance every time ... even if you play wrong notes! All you have to do is play on the keyboard--alternately on the left- and right-hand ranges of the keyboard, for example--and you'll sound like a pro as long as you play in time with the music. And if you can't play with both hands, you can still play the melody simply by tapping one key. All you need is one finger! Play a Variety of Instrument Voices Page 15 With the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525, the instrument voice that sounds when you play the keyboard can be changed to violin, flute, harp, or any of an extensive range of voices. You can change the mood of a song written for piano, for example, by using violin to play it instead. Experience a whole new world of musical variety. Play Along with Styles Page 24 Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles. The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band covering wide variety of styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance ... and much more. Select a style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new styles to expand your musical horizons. Easy Performance with Music Notation Display When you play back a song, the corresponding score will be shown on the display as the song plays. This is a great way to learn how to read music. If the song contains lyric and chord data*, the lyrics and chords will also appear on the score display. * No lyrics or chords will appear on the display if the song you are using with the score display function does not contain the appropriate lyric and chord data.

Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on. Power Requirements Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the instrument is set to STANDBY. WARNING · Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D 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 instrument. Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack) Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack. Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet. CAUTION · Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms. The instrument speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/ OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument's output signal to that device. WARNING · Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing. 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. PA-5D AC outlet Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack) The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. 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. 10 DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525 Owner's Manual Setting Up Connecting to a Computer (USB Terminal) Music Rest Insert the music rest into the slots as shown.
