PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a safe and handy 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 place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also, do not
excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on it.
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 (page 53) 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.
This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument or attempt to
disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it should appear to be
malfunctioning, 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, place on it
any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might spill into any
openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately
and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause
a fire.
When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch and
disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then have the device inspected by Yamaha service
personnel.
- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
- It emits unusual smells or smoke.
- Some object has been dropped into the instrument.
- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.
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 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.
Use only the specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided
screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the
instrument falling over.
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 instrument.
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel 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.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (display 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.

Main Features
Exquisite sound of a concert grand piano faithfully reproduced by the Pure CF Sound Engine
In order to give the P-255 the best possible piano sound, we started by selecting the one Yamaha
concert grand piano with the highest quality tone and acoustic properties. Expert tuners then pains-
takingly ensured that the selected piano was perfectly pitched, and finally, our Pure CF Sound
Engine technology was employed to meticulously sample the full lifespan of every single note.
Graded Hammer keyboard with synthetic ivory keytops for an authentic feel
Developed with the aim of reproducing the sensation of playing a real grand piano, the Graded
Hammer (GH) keyboard features naturally weighted keys, with those in the low range feeling
heavier than those in the high range. As a result, the keyboard feels perfectly balanced over its
complete length. What’s more, the synthetic ivory finish applied to the white keys has excellent
moisture absorption characteristics, meaning that you can play in comfort for as long as you want
without fear of the keys becoming slippery.
Ten different rhythm tracks built in
Playing the keyboard along with one of the ten basic rhythm tracks built into your P-255 is a great
way to add spice to your performances, and as such, these automatic rhythms make playing more
fun. Featuring a range of different patterns from jazz, popular music, and the like, the digital
piano’s rhythm tracks are sure to include what you are looking for.
Live Music Toolbox for performing on-stage
Collectively known as the Live Music Toolbox, the P-255 features a number of functions that
come in handy when performing on stage. For example, you can use Sound Boost to make the
instrument sound louder and enhance its presence (page 18), and the Panel Lock function deacti-
vates buttons on the control panel so you won’t have to worry about pressing them by mistake
while playing (page 18). Meanwhile, you can also turn off the built-in speakers when alternatives
are provided on-stage (page 44). With these tools at your disposal, it is easier to set up your digital
piano on-stage and performing becomes much more enjoyable.
Operate the instrument using P-255 Controller on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod
With the specially developed app P-255 Controller running on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod, you can
remotely control your digital piano for even more convenience and flexibility. By presenting vari-
ous parameters on-screen, this app allows you to make settings in a visual, more intuitive manner.

ous screen.
Turning on the instrument
Be sure to use only the correct power adaptor (page

it to overheat, or create a fire hazard.
Be sure to use a power supply at the correct voltage.
Be sure to unplug the power adaptor from the AC wall
socket during electrical storms or if the instrument is
not to be used for an extended period of time.
The digital piano remains charged and draws a small
amount of power even when turned off. Be sure, therefore,
to unplug the power adaptor from the AC wall socket if it
is not to be used for an extended period of time.
Carry out the above procedure in reverse when disconnecting the power adaptor.
If you are going to use your instrument in a live
music situation such as on-stage, please read
the section Performing Live (page 36).

NOTE
Auto Power-Off
• Before the Auto Power-Off function turns off the instrument, unsaved data
will be automatically backed up. See page 46 for details of the data backed
up at this time.
In certain modes of operation, the Auto Power-Off func-
tion will not turn off the digital piano when the set time
has elapsed. We recommend, therefore, that you
always turn off the instrument manually when you are
finished using it.
If your digital piano is connected to other equipment
such as amplifiers, speakers, or a computer but you do
not intend to use it for some time, we recommend that
you turn off all devices as described in their owner’s
manuals. Doing so eliminates the risk of damage to the
other equipment. If you do not want the instrument to
turn off automatically when connected to other equip-
ment, disable the Auto Power-Off function.
If you are going to use your instrument in a live music
situation such as on-stage, we recommend that you
disable the Auto Power-Off function. (See page 37, 39.)

To adjust the volume, use the [MASTER VOLUME]
slider at the left of the control panel while playing the
keyboard to check the setting.
To set up the music rest, insert it into the groove at the
back of the control panel.
Your digital piano features two [PHONES] jacks,
allowing two sets of headphones to be connected at
the same time. If you wish to connect only one set,
either of the jacks can be used. No sound will be out-
put from the instrument’s speakers when headphones
are connected to either or both of the jacks.
When plugged into the [SUSTAIN PEDAL] jack, the
FC4 Foot Switch that came with your digital piano
functions in the same way as the damper pedal of an
acoustic piano—that is, it allows notes played while it
is operated to sustain for longer than normal after you
release the corresponding keys. You can also connect
either an FC3 Foot Pedal or an FC5 Foot Switch (sold
separately). The FC3 supports half-damper playing.
Half-damper playing
Your digital piano can adjust the length of sustain in
response to how much the pedal is operated. In spe-
cific terms, the more the pedal is operated, the longer
the notes sustain. If, for example, too much sustain is
applied when you operate the pedal, reduce the level
(and make the sound clearer) by allowing the pedal to
return slightly.

An LP-255 Pedal Unit (sold separately) can be con-
nected if you wish to play the digital piano using a full
set of three pedals. In such a case, please set up the
instrument and pedal unit on an L-255 Keyboard
Stand (sold separately).
Damper pedal
Located at the right of the pedal unit, the damper
pedal allows notes played while it is operated to sus-
tain for longer than normal after you release the corre-
sponding keys. This pedal supports half-damper
playing—the more you operate it, the longer the notes
sustain.
Damper-pedal resonance
Yo ur digital piano’s damper resonance function recreates the
effect of resonance between individual piano strings when
the damper pedal is operated. The depth of this resonance
can be set using the corresponding Function parameter
(page 40).
Sostenuto pedal
The pedal located at the middle of the pedal unit is
known as the sostenuto pedal. If you play a note or
chord on the keyboard and operate this pedal before
releasing the keys, the corresponding notes will sus-
tain until you allow the pedal to return. Notes played
while the pedal is operated are not affected, meaning
that you can play a staccato melody over a sustained
chord.
Soft pedal
Located at the left of the pedal unit, the soft pedal
slightly lowers the volume and softens the timbre of
notes played while it is being operated. This effect
lasts until the pedal is released. Because the soft pedal
has no effect on notes already playing, you should

Using the digital piano’s Effect function, you can add
a range of different audio effects to individual Voices.
Whenever you select a Voice, the most suitable effect
will be automatically set; however, you can freely set
the effect type and depth.

The Transpose function allows you to shift the pitch
of both the keyboard and song playback. In this way,
you can match your playing to the key of another
instrument or a singer without having to change what
you actually play on the keyboard. Transpose settings
are made in semitone units. For example, if you set the
transpose amount to “5,” the key C will produce the
pitch F. You could, therefore, play a song as if it was
in C major and the digital piano would transpose it to
the key of F major.
Setting the transpose amount
Use the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons while holding
down the [TRANSPOSE] button to set the transpose
amount in semitone units. To restore the non-trans-
posed default setting (0), press the [-/NO] and
[+/YES] buttons together with the [TRANSPOSE]
button held down.
•Available settings: -12 (one octave lower) to 0 (normal pitch)
to 12 (one octave higher)

Using the Tuning setting, you can fine tune the pitch
of the entire instrument. This can be extremely useful
when playing your digital piano along with other
instruments or recorded music.
Tuning is set using Function parameter F1. Refer to
page 41 for details.
The degree to which the instrument reflects differ-
ences in the strength of your playing in the sound pro-
duced is referred to as touch sensitivity, and this
setting can be adjusted. (Changing the touch sensitiv-
ity has no effect on the weights of the keys.)
Touch sensitivity is set using Function parameter
F6.8. Refer to page 45 for details.
Using your digital piano’s Equalizer function, you can
adjust the tone of overall instrument by increasing or
decreasing the gain in three different frequency bands.
The [EQ] section of the control panel contains a slider
for each of these bands, making it very easy to equal-
ize to your liking.
LOW slider.....Used to adjust the tone in the Low
frequency band.
MID slider ......Used to adjust the tone in the Mid
frequency band.
HIGH slider ...Used to adjust the tone in the High
frequency band.

sponding frequency band will be boosted and vice-
versa.
Move the LOW slider up and down to adjust the
sound’s thickness and punch.

than Type 1, making it the perfect choice when
singing and playing at the same time.
3
In addition to a brighter, more-powerful sound
than Type 2, this type also has a clearer attack.
As such, it is an excellent choice when, for
example, performing as part of a band.
If necessary, you can use the Equalizer (EQ) to further accentuate the effect of the
Sound Boost function (page 17).
