is connected to the AC outlet, keep in mind that electricity is flowing at the

minimum level, even if the power switch is turned off. When you are not using

the instrument for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall

AC outlet.

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 34) 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, or 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

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.

• Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process.

Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in

damage to the instrument or even injury.

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

fall over.

• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more people.

Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself may damage your back, result in

other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.

• 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 stand specified for the instrument. When attaching it, 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 key cover or instrument. Also

take care that the key cover does not pinch your finger.

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

cover, 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.

• Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall

over.

• Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder

or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury.

• Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the

possibility of accident or injury.

• If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them

periodically using the included tool.

• Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of

the bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may

result in accident or 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.

To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this

instrument features an Auto Power Off function

that automatically turns the power off if the

instrument is not operated for approximately 30

minutes. If you do not want to use the Auto Power

Off function, disable the function as described

below. The setting (disabled or enabled) is retained

even if the power is turned off.

Default setting:

Enabled

Disabling the Auto Power Off function

When the instrument is turned off

While holding down the A-1 key (the lowest key),

press the [ ] (Standby/On) to turn the instrument

on. The [REC] indicator flashes three times,

indicating the Auto Power Off function has been

disabled.

When the instrument is turned on

While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and

[PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the A♯ 5

key.

Enabling the Auto Power Off function

While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and

[PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the A5 key.

Since this instrument is equipped with two

[PHONES] jacks, you can connect two sets of

standard stereo headphones. If you are using only

one set of headphones, insert a plug into either

jack, which automatically shuts off the speakers.

CAUTION

Do not use headphones at a high volume for an extended

period of time; doing so may cause hearing loss.

Reproducing a natural sense of distance

(Stereophonic Optimizer)

The Stereophonic Optimizer gives you the feeling

of playing an actual acoustic piano — even though

you’re listening through headphones. Normally, the

sound comes out from headphones sounds very

close to your ears. However, this Stereophonic

Optimizer effect recreates a natural distance or the

sense of physical space between your ears and the

instrument, just as when playing an acoustic piano.

Default setting:

While holding down [PIANO/VOICE], press the A

Damper Pedal (Right)

Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer.

Releasing this pedal immediately stops (damps)

any sustained notes. This pedal also features a

“half-pedal” function that creates partial sustain

effects, depending on how far down you press the

pedal.

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

Pressing this pedal while holding the notes will

sustain the pressed notes (as if the Damper Pedal

had been pressed), but all subsequently played

notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible

to sustain a chord or single low note, for example,

while the other notes are played “staccato.”

Soft Pedal (Left)

Pressing this pedal will reduce the volume and slightly change the timbre of the

notes. The notes played before this pedal is pressed are not affected.

The Damper Resonance effect simulates the sustain sound of the damper pedal on a grand piano, as if you

were pressing the damper pedal and playing the keyboard. This effect is applied to the entire sound of the

instrument.

To turn on the Damper Resonance:

While holding [PIANO/VOICE], press the G♯ 2 key.

To turn off the Damper Resonance:

While holding [PIANO/VOICE], press the G2 key.

Using the Pedals

When you press the damper

pedal here, this note and the

notes you play before you release

the pedal sustain longer.

When you press the sostenuto

pedal here while holding the

note, the note will sustain as

long as you hold the pedal.

NOTE

If the damper pedal doesn’t

work, make sure that the pedal

cord is properly plugged into

the main unit (page 32).

Half-pedal function

This function allows you to vary

the sustain length depending

on how far the pedal is

pressed. The farther down you

press the pedal, the more the

sound sustains. For example, if

you press the damper pedal

and all notes you are playing

sound a bit murky and loud

with too much sustain, you can

release the pedal half way or

higher to decrease the sustain

(murkiness).

NOTE

While the sostenuto pedal is

held, the organ and strings

Voices sound continuously

without decay after the notes

have been released.

NOTE

When you select the Jazz

Organ Voice, pressing the left

pedal switches between fast/

slow rotation of the rotary

speaker (page 18).

Key Voice Name Voice description

C1 Grand Piano 1

This sound was sampled from a full concert grand piano. It uses

different samples depending on the strength of your playing and

produces smoother tonal changes. Suitable not only for classical

compositions but also for piano pieces of any style.

C♯1 Grand Piano 2 Warm and soft piano sound. Good for playing ballads.

D1 Grand Piano 3

Bright piano sound. Clear tone helps the sound to “cut through”

when playing in an ensemble.

D♯1 E.Piano 1

An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good for

standard popular music.

E1 E.Piano 2

The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic

“tines.” Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone

when played hard.

F1 Harpsichord

The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since harpsichord

uses plucked strings, there is no touch response. There is,

however, a characteristic additional sound when the keys are

released.

F♯1 Vibraphone

Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. The tone becomes

more metallic the harder you play.

G1 Pipe Organ

This is a typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet). Good

for sacred music from the Baroque period.

G♯1 Jazz Organ

The sound of a “tonewheel” type electric organ. Often heard in

jazz and rock music. The rotary speed of the rotary speaker

effect can be switched by using the left pedal.

A1 Strings

Stereo-sampled, large-scale strings ensemble with realistic

reverb. Try combining this Voice with piano in the Dual mode.

The instrument does not turn on.

The plugs are not properly connected. Make sure that the DC plug is

securely inserted into the DC IN jack on the instrument, and that the AC

plug is securely inserted to the AC outlet (page 12).

A click or pop is heard when the power is

turned on or off.

This is normal when electrical current is being applied to the instrument.

Noise is heard from the speakers or

headphones.

The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone

in close proximity to this instrument. Turn off the mobile phone, or move it

further away from this instrument.

Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers or

headphones when using the instrument with the

application on iPhone/iPad.

When you use the instrument along with the application on your iPhone/

iPad, we recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your iPhone/

iPad in order to avoid noise caused by communication. While Bluetooth is

connected, setting “Airplane Mode” to “ON” disconnects Bluetooth;

however, the connection can be restored by reconnecting again.

The overall volume is low, or no sound is heard.

The Master Volume is set too low. Set it to an appropriate level using the

[MASTER VOLUME] knob (page 12).

Make sure a pair of headphones or conversion adaptor is not connected to

the [PHONES] jack (page 13).

Make sure that Local Control is On. For details, refer to the “MIDI

Pedals do not function.

The pedal cord may not be securely connected to the [TO PEDAL] jack. Be

sure to insert the pedal cord all the way until the metal part of the cord plug

disappears from view (page 32).

The damper pedal does not function as

expected.

The damper pedal was pressed when the power was turned on. This is not

a malfunction; release the pedal and press it again to reset the function.

For AC adaptor WARNING CAUTION • This AC adaptor is designed for use with only Yamaha electronic instruments. Do not use for any other purpose. • Indoor use only. Do not use in any wet environments. • When setting up, make sure that the AC outlet is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch of the instrument and disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet. When the AC adaptor is connected to the AC outlet, keep in mind that electricity is flowing at the minimum level, even if the power switch is turned off. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. For YDP-163/YDP-143 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 adaptor Water warning • 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 34) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. • Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or 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. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. Fire warning • Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire. Do not open • This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way.

DMI-5 1/2 YDP-163/YDP-143 Owner’s Manual 5 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 adaptor Connections • 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. • 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. • 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. • 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. • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. Handling caution Assembly • Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the key cover or instrument. Also take care that the key cover does not pinch your finger. • Read carefully the attached documentation explaining the assembly process. Failure to assemble the instrument in the proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or even injury. • Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the key cover, 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. Location • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more people. Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself. • 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. • 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. Using the bench (If included) • Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a tool or stepladder or for any other purpose might result in accident or injury. • Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to prevent the possibility of accident or injury. • If the bench screws become loose due to extensive long-term use, tighten them periodically using the included tool. • Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching it, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over. • Keep special watch over any small children so that they don’t fall off the rear of the bench. Since the bench does not have a backrest, unsupervised use may result in accident or injury. 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 [ ] (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.

Releasing this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. This pedal also features a “half-pedal” function that creates partial sustain effects, depending on how far down you press the pedal. NOTE If the damper pedal doesn’t work, make sure that the pedal cord is properly plugged into the main unit (page 32). Half-pedal function When you press the damper pedal here, this note and the notes you play before you release the pedal sustain longer. Sostenuto Pedal (Center) Pressing this pedal while holding the notes will sustain the pressed notes (as if the Damper Pedal had been pressed), but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord or single low note, for example, while the other notes are played “staccato.” This function allows you to vary the sustain length depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther down you press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. For example, if you press the damper pedal and all notes you are playing sound a bit murky and loud with too much sustain, you can release the pedal half way or higher to decrease the sustain (murkiness). NOTE When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding the note, the note will sustain as long as you hold the pedal. While the sostenuto pedal is held, the organ and strings Voices sound continuously without decay after the notes have been released. Soft Pedal (Left) NOTE Pressing this pedal will reduce the volume and slightly change the timbre of the notes. The notes played before this pedal is pressed are not affected. When you select the Jazz Organ Voice, pressing the left pedal switches between fast/ slow rotation of the rotary speaker (page 18). Using the Damper Resonance The Damper Resonance effect simulates the sustain sound of the damper pedal on a grand piano, as if you were pressing the damper pedal and playing the keyboard. This effect is applied to the entire sound of the instrument. To turn on the Damper Resonance: Default setting: On While holding [PIANO/VOICE], press the G♯2 key. To turn off the Damper Resonance: While holding [PIANO/VOICE], press the G2 key.
