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:
Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the inter-
nal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains
no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunc-
tioning, 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 liq-
uids which might spill into any openings.
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.
Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B or an equivalent recom-
mended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result
in damage to the instrument or overheating.
Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric
plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug
with wet hands.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust
which may have accumulated on it.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instru-
ment or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
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.
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an out-
let, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
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.
Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument,
or during electrical storms.
Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with
the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in over-
heating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new
batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types,
such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batter-
ies from different makers, or different types of batteries from
the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or bat-
tery fluid leakage.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be
charged.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be
used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument
to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.
Keep batteries away from children.
If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If
the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth,
or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Bat-
tery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or
chemical burns.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic compo-
nents, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the
power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to min-
imum. 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.
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 near other electrical products such
as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause inter-
ference which can affect proper operation of the other prod-
ucts.
• 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.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impreg-
nated wiping cloths. Also, 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.
Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attach-
ing 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.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause per-
manent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or
ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Playing while looking at the lights for a long period of time may
cause eye strain and stiff neck/shoulders. For your health and
comfort, we recommend that you take a ten-minute break for
every hour.
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.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regula-
tions.

Setting Up
Although the EZ-20 will run either from an
optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha
recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever
possible. An AC adaptor is more environmen-
tally friendly than batteries and does not
deplete resources.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
Use of an AC power adaptor is recom-
mended, especially when you use the
EZ-20 for a long period of time.
1
Make sure that the [
STANDBY/ON
]
switch of the EZ-20 is set to
STANDBY.
2
Connect one end of the adaptor to the
DC IN 12V
jack on the rear panel of
your EZ-20.
3
Connect the other end to a suitable
electrical outlet.
WARNING
Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B AC Power Adap-
tor (or other adaptor specifically
recommended by Yamaha) to power your
instrument from the AC mains.
The use of other adaptors may result in irrepa-
rable damage to both the adaptor and the EZ-
20.
CAUTION
Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using
the EZ-20, or during electrical storms.
Using Batteries
1
Turn the instrument upside-down and
remove the battery compartment lid.
2
Insert six 1.5-volt “D” size, R20P
(LR20) or equivalent batteries as
shown in the illustration, making sure
that the positive and negative termi-
nals are properly aligned.
3
Replace the lid.
When the batteries run low and the
battery voltage drops below a cer-
tain level, the EZ-20 may not sound
or function properly. As soon as this
happens, replace them with a com-
plete set of six new batteries, heeding
the cautions described below.
CAUTION
Insert the batteries in the correct direction,
making sure that the positive and negative ter-
minals of the batteries match the label. If the
orientation does not match the label, the bat-
teries may generate heat, cause a fire, or leak.
Never mix old and new batteries or different
types of batteries (e.g., alkaline and manganese).
To prevent possible damage from battery
leakage, remove the batteries from the instru-
ment if it is not to be used for a long time.
Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY”
position, electricity is still flowing to the
instrument at the minimum level.
When you plan not to use the EZ-20 for a long
period of time, make sure you unplug the AC
power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/
or remove the batteries from the instrument.

For private practicing and playing without
disturbing others, connect a set of stereo
headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUT-
PUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker
system is automatically cut off when you
insert a headphone plug into this jack.
CAUTION
Do not use headphones for a long time at high
volume levels. Otherwise, you may damage
your hearing.
Though the EZ-20 is equipped with a built-in
speaker system, you can also play it through an
external amplifier/speaker system. First, make
sure the EZ-20 and any external devices are
turned off, then connect one end of a stereo
audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN jack(s) of
the other device and the other end to the rear
panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the EZ-20.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the speakers, set the vol-
ume 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 mini-
mum levels and gradually raise the volume
controls while playing the instrument to set the
desired listening level.
This feature lets you use an optional foot-
switch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the
sound of the voices. The footswitch func-
tions the same way as a damper pedal on an
acoustic piano - press and hold down the
footswitch as you play the keyboard to sus-
tain the sound.
Make sure that the footswitch plug
is properly connected to the SUS-
TAIN jack before you turn 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.
The EZ-20 also features MIDI terminals,
allowing you to interface the EZ-20 with
other MIDI instruments and devices. (For
more information, see page 58.)
Special MIDI cables (sold sepa-
rately) must be used for connecting
to MIDI devices. They can be
bought at music stores, etc.
Never use MIDI cables longer
than about 15 meters. Cables
longer than this can pick up noise
which can cause data errors.

fier or Stereo System

Insert the bottom edge of the
included music stand into the
slot located at the top rear of
the EZ-20 control panel.

When the power of the EZ-20 is turned on, the song of ”003: Linus And Lucy”
and the right-hand part are selected.
Lesson 1: Timing
This step lets you work on the timing of the notes. In Lesson 1, the particular
note you play on the keyboard is unimportant. The EZ-20 checks your timing
and how rhythmically “tight” your playing is.

Lesson 2: Waiting
In Lesson 2, you practice playing the notes correctly as they appear in the dis-
play notation. The accompaniment pauses and waits for you to play the notes
correctly before it continues.
Lesson 3: Minus One
In Lesson 3, you practice playing correct notes, along with the accompani-
ment. The accompaniment continues playing in tempo.
2 When you’re finished, stop the Lesson.

The EZ-20 has a built-in evaluation function that monitors your practicing and
- like a real teacher - tells you how well you did each practice. Four grades are
assigned, depending on your performance: “Try Again,” “Good,” “Very
Good,” and “Excellent.”
Want to find out more? See page 38.
This feature “talks” to you through the speakers, “announcing” the Grade com-
ments as well as the titles of the Lesson steps.
