19 Care should be taken that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the

enclosure through any openings that may exist.

20 This product, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones

or speaker/s, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause per-

manent hearing loss. DO NOT operate for a long period of time at a high volume

level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or

ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist. IMPORTANT: The louder

the sound, the shorter the time period before damage occurs.

21 Some Yamaha products may have benches and/or accessory mounting fixtures

that are either supplied as a part or the product or as optional accessories.

Some of these items are designed to be dealer assembled or installed. Please

make sure that benches are stable and any optional fixtures (where applicable)

are well secured BEFORE using. Benches supplied by Yamaha are designed for

seating only. No other uses are recommended.

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.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to

prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip

over them.

• When moving the instrument, be careful to avoid catching your

hands or feet on the instrument.

• Move the instrument slowly with extra care to keep the instrument

from falling over, or bumping against the surroundings. We

recommend that you consult a qualified carrier to transport or move

the instrument.

• 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 fallboard or

instrument. Also take care that the fallboard does not pinch your

finger.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps or

opening on the main unit, fallboard, or keyboard. This could cause

physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or other

property, or operational failure.

• 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.

• Close the fallboard when the instrument is not in use. Hold the

fallboard with both hands when opening or closing it. Be careful to

avoid catching fingers (yours or others) between the fallboard and

the main unit.

• Do not go near the instrument during an earthquake. Strong shaking

during an earthquake could cause the instrument to move or tip

over, resulting in damage to the instrument or its parts, and possibly

causing injury.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp is 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 power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Features

• A real acoustic piano that lets you freely change the volume or Voice as you want

Yamaha’s innovative TransAcoustic™ technology lets you adjust the volume or change the Voices—without

affecting your performance at all, just as when playing an acoustic piano (TransAcoustic mode). The

instrument also features the Silent Piano™ mode in which you can play silently while listening to the sound

from the headphones.

You can take advantage of these functions and get more enjoyment with the piano, such as playing in a lower

volume to enjoy with people near you, or in silence to concentrate on practice, or playing with various Voices.

• Natural expressive feel possible only with an acoustic piano

In the TransAcoustic mode, TransAcoustic technology vibrates the entire soundboard and causes resonance of

the strings and the piano body allowing you to enjoy playing with an exceptionally natural acoustic feel.

Even in the Silent Piano mode, advanced technologies such as Binaural Sampling gives you the impression of

the sound as if it was actually emanating from the piano when listening through headphones.

• Realistic resonance enhances your performance

This instrument puts the sound of 20 luxurious, authentic Voices at your fingertips. These include Yamaha’s

flagship CFX piano—which delivers dynamic sound, from a brilliant high-range to powerful bass—and the

Bösendorfer* Imperial, a world-class piano renowned for its subtle and warm sound.

In the TransAcoustic mode, the resonance of the strings and the piano body lets you enjoy the rich ambience

even when playing with the built-in Voices.

* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

• Real acoustic piano touch for maximum expressiveness

Naturally, since this is an actual acoustic piano, it is exceptionally expressive. Moreover, the sensors which

detect the movement of the keys are non-contact optical sensors, so they do not affect the playing touch. They

catch keystroke information precisely, enabling you to perform with rich nuance and extraordinarily subtle

expression.

• Elegant, integrated design

The control unit has been given a graceful design that unobtrusively blends with the piano itself. Moreover, the

simple controllers allow you to operate the instrument easily.

• Playback and recording functions for enjoying music anytime

You can record your performance to this instrument and a USB flash drive, and improve your performance by

listening back to the recording.

This instrument also features a Bluetooth audio function, which allows you to play along on this instrument

with audio from a Bluetooth-equipped device, and even record the audio as an audio Song.

Smart Device App “Smart Pianist”

The smart device app “Smart Pianist” (available as a free download) enables you to use the functions such

as selecting Voices, controlling the metronome intuitively with the visualized interface, or display the score

on your smart device.

For information about this app, access the following web page:

https://www.yamaha.com/kbdapps/

The connection wizard of the Smart Pianist helps you to connect this unit to your smart device properly. To

start connection wizard, tap [ ] (Menu) located upper left on the Smart Pianist screen to open the menu,

then tap “Instrument” followed by “Start Connection Wizard.”

2 Playing the TransAcoustic™ Piano

This instrument can be played as a normal acoustic piano, and you can also use the following three modes

depending on the situations. In these modes, you can use the various functions such as playing preset Voices

built into unit and recording your performances.

• TransAcoustic mode: You can play with the digital sound and hear it through resonance of the soundboard

of the piano by the TransAcoustic technology (page 18).

• Layer mode: You can play with the digital sound as well as the acoustic piano sound (page 19).

• Silent Piano mode: You can play with the sound muted and listen to the digital sound through the

headphones (page 20).

TransAcoustic technology

On acoustic pianos, as you play the keyboards, the hammers strike the strings and then the vibration is transmitted to the

soundboard to emit the sound. On the other hand, on this TransAcoustic piano, the tone generator sends audio signals to a

transducer that converts the signals to vibrations and transmits them to the soundboard. The sound resonating from the

soundboard is just like that on acoustic pianos. The TransAcoustic technology allows you to adjust the volume, while the

natural and rich resonance characteristic of acoustic pianos are maintained.

Playing as an acoustic piano

If you want to play as a normal acoustic piano, you do not need to turn on the power to the instrument.

• For upright pianos:

Turn the power off, and pull the silencing lever forward to return it to the back position, or press the center

pedal to slide it to the right, allowing you to play it as an acoustic piano.

• For grand pianos:

You can switch the instrument to play as an acoustic piano while the power is on. Pressing the [VOLUME]

control lights up the [Aco.] lamp and enables you to play as an acoustic piano. When the control is pressed,

the Voice is automatically set to “---” (Off).

Pressing the [VOLUME] control again switches the instrument to the TransAcoustic mode.

NOTE

If you select a Voice other than “---” (Off), both the [Aco.] and [TA] lamps light up indicating that the instrument is in the

Layer mode (page 19).

Layering the digital sound with the acoustic piano sound

(Layer mode)

You can have both the acoustic piano sound and the digital sound layered together as you play the keyboard.

The operation is the same as that of the TransAcoustic mode, however, step 3 is unnecessary.

For upright pianos, make sure that the silencing lever or the center pedal is at the position in which the acoustic

piano sound is emitted (page 17).

For grand pianos, press the [VOLUME] control to turn the [Aco.] lamp on (page 17), and then rotate the

[VOICE/VALUE] control to select a Voice other than “---” (Off; page 21).

NOTE

• This instrument is finely tuned before it is shipped. However, the pitch may gradually go out of tune, depending on

circumstances such as temperature and humidity. When you detect a difference between the pitch of the digital sound and

acoustic sound, tune the piano mechanism, or adjust the Master Tune parameter in the Function settings (page 41). For

tuning, consult a professional piano technician.

• The volume of the acoustic piano sound cannot be adjusted by using the [VOLUME] control.

• When the Voice is set to “---” (Off; page 21), you can play only the acoustic piano sound. The digital sound is not emitted.

This Voice is useful when you want to play along with the metronome sound yet use only the acoustic piano sound.
