In keeping with both the letter and the spirit of the law, we want you to be aware of the following: Model Serial No. Purchase Date 92-BP (bottom) PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL 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: Power supply/AC power adaptor · 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-300 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. Water warning · 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. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. Fire warning · Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire. If you notice any abnormality · 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. Do not open · 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. 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: Power supply/AC power adaptor · 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 electrical storms. 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. Location · 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 internal components. Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise. Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables. Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over. · · · · (3)-7 1/2 PSR-2100/1100 3 Connections · 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. Saving data Saving and backing up your data · Some of the current memory data (see page 42) is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy disk/the User Drive (see page 39, 47). Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a floppy disk. When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that page, System Setup data (listed in the Parameter Chart of the separate Data List booklet) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the relevant display. Maintenance · When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Handling caution · Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument. · Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. 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. Do not operate the instrument 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. Backing up the floppy disk · To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks. · · · Caution for data operations Make sure NEVER to turn the PSR-2100/1100's power off during any kind of data operation involving the USER/ FLOPPY DISK drives -- such as saving, deleting, or copying/pasting -- until the operation is completely finished. (Make sure to wait until the alert message disappears.) Turning the power off during the operation results in the loss of the data being saved or pasted to the respective drive. Keeping the power on during such operations is particularly important in regard to the USER drive. Turning off the power while performing a save/delete/paste operation with the USER drive may result in loss of ALL data on the USER drive (upon the next power on) -- and not just the data in question. In other words, if you are performing a save/delete/ paste operation on only the song data of the USER drive and you turn off the power before the operation is completed, you risk losing ALL your USER drive data -- including all voices, styles, Multi Pad banks and Registration Memory presets you've saved to the USER drive. This caution also applies to creating a new folder on the USER drive or using the factory reset operation (page 154). Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed. Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. 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 AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet. (3)-7 2/2 4 PSR-2100/1100 Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha PSR-2100/1100!

Follow the important precautions below. Compatible Disk Type · 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used. Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive: · Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out. Drive lamp When the power is turned on, the drive lamp (at the bottom left of the drive) lights to indicate the drive can be used. · Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off when the data is being written to the floppy disk. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand. · If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a halfpressed position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure. · Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors. Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head · Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors. · To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commerciallyavailable dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks. · Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks. To eject a floppy disk: Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that data is not being written to the floppy disk. If data is currently being written to the floppy disk in the following operations, the messages "Now executing," "Now copying," and "Now formatting" appears in the display. · Moving, copying, pasting, saving, or deleting data (page 45 - 47). · Naming files and folders (page 44); creating a new folder (page 47). · Copying a disk to an another disk (page 153); formatting the disk (page 153). Eject button PSR-2100/1100 7 About the Floppy Disks To handle floppy disks with care: · Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use. · Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. · Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside. · Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable. · Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing. · Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location. To protect your data (Write-protect Tab): · To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk's write-protect tab to the "protect" position (tab open). write-protect tab open (protect position) Data backup · For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk to Disk function on page 153. About the Display Messages A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation. When such messages appear, simply follow the instructions as shown by pressing the corresponding button. F G H I J You can select the desired language from the Help display (page 52). For this example, press the [G] (YES) button to execute formatting. 8 PSR-2100/1100 Table of Contents Introduction ............................ 2 PRECAUTIONS .......................................................... 3 Accessories ............................................................... 6 About this Owner's Manual and Data List .............. 6 Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disk..................................................... 7 About the Display Messages.................................... 8 Application Index ................................................... 12 What can you do with the PSR-2100/1100?.......... 14 Setting Up the PSR-2100/1100.............................. 16 Panel Controls and Terminals................................ 18 Reference Playing the Demos .................55 Voices.....................................57 Selecting a Voice .................................................... 57 Layer/Left -- Playing Several Sounds Simultaneously .................................................... 59 Layer -- Layering Two Different Voices ................... 59 Left -- Setting Separate Voices for the Left and Right Sections of the Keyboard ..................... 60 Quick Guide ........................... 20 Playing the Demos ................................................. 20 Song Playback ........................................................ 21 Playback of Songs ....................................................21 Applying Voice Effects ........................................... 60 PITCH BEND Wheel & MODULATION Wheel........ 61 Adjusting the Octave setting ................................. 61 Styles......................................62 Playing a style ........................................................ 62 Playing a Style's Rhythm Channels only .................. 64 Adjusting the Volume Balance/Channel Muting ...... 64 Playing Voices ........................................................ 25 Playing a Voice ........................................................25 Playing Two Voices Simultaneously ..........................26 Playing Different Voices with the Left and Right Hands ............................................27 Playing Styles ......................................................... 28 Playing a style ..........................................................28 Style Sections...........................................................30 One Touch Setting...................................................32 Chord Fingerings.................................................... 65 Arranging the Style Pattern (SECTIONS: MAIN A/B/C/D, INTRO, ENDING, BREAK) ......... 67 Stopping the Style Playback While Releasing Keys (SYNC.
