Special Features

Natural Piano Voice Page 23

The DGX-650 features an amazingly realistic piano Voice (“Natural! Grand Piano”; Voice 001) meticulously

sampled from a concert grand piano—fantastic for playing not only classical compositions but also piano pieces

in any style. No matter what instrument settings have been made, you can instantly call up the Piano Voice by sim-

ply pressing the [PORTABLE GRAND] button.

Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard

Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard

with action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of

the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard’s

sensitivity can even be adjusted to match your playing style. This Graded Hammer technology gives the DGX-650

remarkably authentic touch in a lightweight instrument.

Amazingly Realistic and Dynamic Sounds Page 23

Yamaha’s authentic Voices (especially the highly acclaimed Live!, Sweet! and Cool! Voices) deliver incredibly

natural and dynamic sound—with all the nuances of the original instrument, from delicate to powerful.

Play Along with Styles Page 28

The DGX-650 also has complete and fully automatic accompaniment features with the Styles. These Styles pro-

vide the equivalent of a full backing band covering wide variety of genres—from waltz and swing to 8-beat and

euro-trance, plus much more. Select a Style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new

Styles to expand your musical horizons. And if it’s difficult to select the right Style from the huge variety avail-

able, use the Style Recommender function, which calls up a list of suggested Styles, based on a sample rhythm

you play. Also, this instrument features a Smart Chord function, allowing you to simply press single keys, and yet

play various chord progressions that authentically match the music genre and key you specify—giving you even

greater enjoyment from the Styles!

Easy Performance with Music Notation Display Page 37

When you play back a Song, the corresponding score is shown on the display. This is a great way to learn how to

read music. If the Song contains lyric and chord data, the lyrics and chords also appear in the score.

USB TO DEVICE Page 70

Connect a USB flash memory device to the USB TO DEVICE terminal on the instrument, and save or load regis-

trations, and User Songs that you’ve created on the instrument, as well as read data from the device, such as MIDI

files or Style files.

Also, Audio files (.wav) stored to USB flash memory can be played back on the instrument. Moreover, you can

record your performance as Audio data to a USB flash memory device. For more on Audio playing and recording,

see pages 34 and 40.

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 81) 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.

• 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 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.

Setting Up

• 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.

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.

may generate noise. 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.

• 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, damage to the internal components or unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range: 5° –

40°C, or 41° – 104°F.)

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface of the instrument. If water is left, the

wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any water off immediately with a soft cloth.

 Saving data

• Some data items (page 49) are automatically saved as backup data in the internal memory even if you turn the power off. Saved data may be lost due to

malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to external device such as a USB flash memory (pages 73–75).

• The recorded Songs are lost when you turn off the power of the instrument without saving. It occurs also when the power is turned off by Auto Power Off

function (page 20). Save the recorded data to the instrument.

Compatible Format

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compati-

ble music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of

manufacturer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM

System Level.

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater function-

ality and open-ended expandability for the future. The instrument is capable of displaying lyrics

when an XF file containing lyric data is played.

STYLE FILE

The Style File Format is Yamaha’s original style file format which uses a unique conversion sys-

tem to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types.

XGlite

As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simplified version of Yamaha’s high-quality XG tone genera-

tion format. Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator. How-

ever, keep in mind that some songs may play back differently compared to the original data, due

to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.

Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack)

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain

as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the sup-

plied footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sus-

tain on and off.

Damper Resonance

This function simulates the sustain sound produced

with the damper pedal on a grand piano. If you want

to use this function, select Voice 001 (page 23), then

press the Footswitch. This function can be turned off

via the FUNCTION display (page 68).

• Use the specified adaptor (page 81) only. Using the wrong

adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or over-

heating.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instru-

ment, or during electrical storms, to avoid the possibility of

physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instru-

ment or other property.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components. Also, before turn-

ing any components on or off, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, damage to the components, electri-

cal shock, or even permanent hearing loss may occur.

CAUTION

• The sustain function does not affect the Split Voice (page 24).

• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to

the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing

this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, result-

ing in reversed footswitch operation.

Connecting Headphones or External Audio Equipment (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)

Headphones

Any pair of stereo headphones with a standard stereo

phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient

monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off

when a plug is inserted into this jack. This setting can

be changed so that speaker sound is always on regard-

less whether a plug is inserted or not (page 55).

External Audio Equipment

The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an

external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUT-

PUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system,

mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device

to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.

Optimum setting

Output gain level for this jack is set to a value suitable

for connecting headphones, as the default setting. You

can switch this to the value suitable for connecting an

external audio device. For details on how to switch the

value, see page 55.

• 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.

• When the instrument’s sound is output to an external

device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to

the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the

power off. If the instrument’s power is automatically turned

off via the Auto Power Off function (page 20), first turn off

the external device, then turn on the power to the instru-

ment then the external device again.

• Do not route the output from the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to

the AUX IN jack. If you make this connection, the signal

input at the AUX IN jack is output from the PHONES/OUT-

PUT jack. These connections could result in a feedback

loop that will make normal performance impossible, and

may even damage both pieces of equipment.

• Use audio cables and adaptor cables having no (zero) resis-

tance.

Pedal Unit functions

Damper Pedal (Right)

Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this

pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. A “half-

pedal” function of this pedal creates partial sustain effects,

depending on how far down you press the pedal. When using

both a footswitch and pedal unit, the last effect applied takes pri-

ority.

Damper Resonance

This function simulates the sustain sound produced with a

damper pedal on a grand piano. This effect is added when

the Damper pedal is pressed for Voice 001. You can turn this

function on or off via the FUNCTION display (page 68).

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)

If you play a note or notes on the keyboard and press the soste-

nuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as

long as you hold the pedal (as if the damper pedal had been

pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained.

This makes it possible to sustain a note or notes, for example,

while other notes are played “staccato.”

Soft Pedal (Left)

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the tim-

bre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal

will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed.

If you press and hold the

damper pedal here, all the

notes shown will be sus-

tained.

If you press and hold the

sostenuto pedal here, only

the notes held at this timing

will be sustained.

Appropriate chords suited for the music genre will sound whenever you press a single note, as if you were playing

the “right” chords.

Recording Your Performance

This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.

• Song recording (MIDI recording)

With this method, recorded performances are saved to the instrument as a User Song, in SMF (format 0) MIDI

file. If you want to re-record a specific section or edit parameters such as Voice, use this method. Also if you want

to record your performance to each track one by one, execute “Recording to a Specified Track” of the Song

recording method. Since a User Song can be converted to an Audio file after recording (page 75), you may want to

use Song recording (with individual track recording) to first create a complex arrangement you would not other-

wise be able to play live, then convert it to an Audio file. Up to approximately 30,000 notes can be recorded for

one User Song if you record only to the tracks [R/1]–[5].

• Audio recording (page 45)

With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash memory as an Audio file. Recording is done

without designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality resolution

(44.1kHz/16bit) by default, it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a computer.

This instrument allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single recording.

You can record up to five of your performances and

save them as User Song 101 through 105. This opera-

tion is for recording a new Song from scratch. If you

want to re-record a specific track, execute “Recording

to a Specified Track (Song Recording)” on page 42.

Press the [SONG/AUDIO] button once or

twice to call up the SONG SELECT dis-

play for Song recording.

If a USB flash memory is connected, pressing the

[SONG/AUDIO] button repeatedly toggles

between two displays: SONG SELECT and

AUDIO SELECT. If a USB flash memory is not

connected, this operation calls up only SONG

SELECT display.

You can select the desired User Song with the dial.

If you want to record with a Style, press

the [STYLE] button then the [ACMP ON/

OFF] button to turn ACMP on.

Once you have set the ACMP to ON, don’t call up

the SONG SELECT or AUDIO SELECT display

because doing so will set the ACMP to OFF.

Press the [REC] button to enable record-

ing.

If a User Song was not selected beforehand, this

operation selects the lowest-numbered unrecorded

User Song (from 101–105) as the Recording tar-

get.

To cancel recording, press the [REC] button or

[EXIT] button.

formance to each track one by one. In recording a

piano piece, for example, you can record the right-

hand part to Track 1 then record the left-hand part to

Track 2, allowing you create a complete piece which

may be difficult to play live with both hands together.

To record a performance with Style playback, for

Song or Style, for example, the currently playing Voices

may not sound as expected. This is normal, since the

Song or Style has its own DSP type which replaces any

selection you’ve made before loading. A similar phenom-

USB Flash Memory Operations

By connecting the USB flash memory device to the USB TO DEVICE terminal, you can

save the data created on this instrument, such as User Song and parameter settings.

The saved data can be recalled to this instrument again for future use.

Precautions when using the USB TO

DEVICE terminal

This instrument features a built-in USB TO

DEVICE terminal. When connecting a USB device

to the terminal, be sure to handle the USB device

with care. Follow the important precautions below.

Compatible USB devices

• USB flash memory

The instrument does not necessarily support all

commercially available USB devices. Yamaha can-

not guarantee operation of USB devices that you

purchase. Before purchasing a USB device for use

with this instrument, please visit the following web

page:

http://download.yamaha.com/

Connecting USB device

• When connecting a USB device to the USB TO

DEVICE terminal, make sure that the connector

on the device is appropriate and that it is con-

nected in the proper direction.

Using USB flash memory

By connecting the instrument to a USB flash mem-

ory, you can save data you’ve created to the con-

nected device, as well as read data from the

connected USB flash memory.

Maximum number of USB flash memory

allowed

Only one USB flash memory can be connected to

the USB TO DEVICE terminal.

Formatting USB flash memory

When a USB flash memory is connected, a mes-

sage may appear prompting you to format the USB

flash memory. If so, execute the Format operation

(page 72).

To protect your data (write-protect)

To prevent important data from being inadvertently

erased, apply the write-protect provided with each

USB flash memory. If you are saving data to the

USB flash memory, make sure to disable write-

protect.

Turning off the instrument

When turning off the instrument, make sure that

the instrument is NOT accessing the USB flash

memory by playback/recording or file control

(such as during Save, Delete and Format opera-

tions). Failure to do so may corrupt the USB flash

memory and the data.

• For more information about the handling of USB devices,

refer to the owner’s manual of the USB device.

• Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or

mouse cannot be used.

• Avoid connecting or disconnecting the USB device

during playback/recording, file control (such as Save,

Delete and Format operations) or when accessing the

USB device. Failure to do so may result in “freezing” of

the operation of the instrument or corruption of the

USB device and the data.

• When connecting then disconnecting the USB device

(and vice versa), make sure to wait a few seconds

between the two operations.

• When connecting a USB cable, make sure that the length

is less than 3 meters.

• Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you

can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the

instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is that of

USB 1.1.

NOTE

NOTICE

• The format operation overwrites any previously existing

data. Make sure that the USB flash memory you are for-

matting does not contain important data.

The power is automatically turned off. This is normal and due to the Auto Power Off function. If necessary, set

the parameter of the Auto Power Off function (page 20).

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce

interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further

away from the instrument.

Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers or

headphones when using the instrument with an

iPhone/iPad application.

When you use the instrument along with an iPhone/iPad application, we

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

order to avoid noise caused by communication.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is

played or when a Style or Song is being played

back.

Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the

rear panel. When a plug is connected to this jack, no sound is output.

Check the Local Control on/off setting. (See page 68.)

Is the FILE CONTROL display showing? The instrument’s keyboard,

etc., will not produce any sound while the FILE CONTROL display is

showing. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display.

Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard

does not produce any sound.

When using the Dictionary function (page 62), the keys in the right hand

area are used only for entering the chord root and type.

The Style or Song does not play back when the

[START/STOP] button is pressed.

Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF;

refer to “External Clock” on page 68.

The Style does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 60) is set to an appropriate level.

Is the Split Point set at an appropriate key for the chords you are play-

ing? Set the Split Point at an appropriate key (page 61).

Is the “ACMP” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press

the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.

No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/

STOP] button is pressed after selecting style num-

ber 165 or a style between 178–195 (Pianist).

This is not a malfunction. Style number 165 and style numbers 178–195

(Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts

will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of

the keyboard if the ACMP is turned on.

Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound

seems to be cut off.

The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 128 notes. If the Dual

Voice or Split Voice is being used and a Style or Song is playing back at

the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the

accompaniment or Song.

The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the

opposite effect. For example, pressing the foot-

switch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains

the sounds.

The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch

plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the

power.

The sound of the Voice changes from note to note. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple record-

ings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus,

the actual sound of the Voice may be slightly different from note to note.

The appropriate display does not appear when the

[SONG/AUDIO], [STYLE], or [VOICE] button is

pressed.

Is another display showing? Try pressing the [EXIT] button to return to

the MAIN display, and then pressing one of the mentioned buttons.

The ACMP indicator does not appear when the

[ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.

Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any

Style-related function.

The “Over Current” message is shown in the upper

left area of the MAIN display and the USB device

does not respond.

Communication with the USB device has been shut down because of

the overcurrent to the USB device. Disconnect the device from the USB

TO DEVICE terminal, then turn on the power of the instrument.

The Headphone sound is too low. Make sure the parameter of “Output Gain Level” is set to “Headphones”

(page 55).

(P, CP, YDP, DGX640, DGX650)

Thank you for selecting a YAMAHA product. YAMAHA products are designed and manufactured to provide a high level of defect-free

performance. Yamaha Corporation of America (“YAMAHA”) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into each and every

YAMAHA product. YAMAHA sells its products through a network of reputable, specially authorized dealers and is pleased to offer you,

the Original Owner, the following Limited Warranty, which applies only to products that have been (1) directly purchased from YAMAHA’s

authorized dealers in the fifty states of the USA and District of Columbia (the “Warranted Area) and (2) used exclusively in the Warranted

Area. YAMAHA suggests that you read the Limited Warranty thoroughly, and invites you to contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or

YAMAHA Customer Service if you have any questions.

Coverage: YAMAHA will, at its option, repair or replace the product covered by this warranty if it becomes defective, malfunctions or

otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without charge for labor or

materials. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed YAMAHA specifications for new parts. If

YAMAHA elects to replace the product, the replacement may be a reconditioned unit. You will be responsible for any installation or

removal charges and for any initial shipping charges if the product(s) must be shipped for warranty service. However, YAMAHA will pay

the return shipping charges to any destination within the USA if the repairs are covered by the warranty. This warranty does not cover (a)

damage, deterioration or malfunction resulting from accident, negligence, misuse, abuse, improper installation or operation or failure to

follow instructions according to the Owner’s Manual for this product; any shipment of the product (claims must be presented to the

carrier); repair or attempted repair by anyone other than YAMAHA or an authorized YAMAHA Service Center; (b) any unit which has been

altered or on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or removed; (c) normal wear and any periodic maintenance; (d)

deterioration due to perspiration, corrosive atmosphere or other external causes such as extremes in temperature or humidity; (e)

damages attributable to power line surge or related electrical abnormalities, lightning damage or acts of God; or (f) RFI/EMI (Interference/

noise) caused by improper grounding or the improper use of either certified or uncertified equipment, if applicable. Any evidence of

alteration, erasing or forgery of proof-of-purchase documents will cause this warranty to be void. This warranty covers only the Original

Owner and is not transferable.

In Order to Obtain Warranty Service: Warranty service will only be provided for defective products within the Warranted

Area. Contact your local authorized YAMAHA dealer who will advise you of the procedures to be followed. If this is not successful,

Index.............................................................................. 82 Setting Up Special Features Natural Piano Voice Page 23 Setting Up The DGX-650 features an amazingly realistic piano Voice (“Natural! Grand Piano”; Voice 001) meticulously sampled from a concert grand piano—fantastic for playing not only classical compositions but also piano pieces in any style. No matter what instrument settings have been made, you can instantly call up the Piano Voice by simply pressing the [PORTABLE GRAND] button. Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard with action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can even be adjusted to match your playing style. This Graded Hammer technology gives the DGX-650 remarkably authentic touch in a lightweight instrument. Amazingly Realistic and Dynamic Sounds Page 23 Yamaha’s authentic Voices (especially the highly acclaimed Live!, Sweet! and Cool! Voices) deliver incredibly natural and dynamic sound—with all the nuances of the original instrument, from delicate to powerful. Play Along with Styles Page 28 The DGX-650 also has complete and fully automatic accompaniment features with the Styles. These Styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band covering wide variety of genres—from waltz and swing to 8-beat and euro-trance, plus much more. Select a Style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new Styles to expand your musical horizons. And if it’s difficult to select the right Style from the huge variety available, use the Style Recommender function, which calls up a list of suggested Styles, based on a sample rhythm you play. Also, this instrument features a Smart Chord function, allowing you to simply press single keys, and yet play various chord progressions that authentically match the music genre and key you specify—giving you even greater enjoyment from the Styles! Easy Performance with Music Notation Display Page 37 When you play back a Song, the corresponding score is shown on the display. This is a great way to learn how to read music. If the Song contains lyric and chord data, the lyrics and chords also appear in the score. USB TO DEVICE Page 70 Connect a USB flash memory device to the USB TO DEVICE terminal on the instrument, and save or load registrations, and User Songs that you’ve created on the instrument, as well as read data from the device, such as MIDI files or Style files. Also, Audio files (.wav) stored to USB flash memory can be played back on the instrument. Moreover, you can record your performance as Audio data to a USB flash memory device. For more on Audio playing and recording, see pages 34 and 40. DGX-650 Owner’s Manual 5 PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference. Setting Up 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 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 81) 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, 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. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. If you notice any abnormality • 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.

Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • 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. • 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. • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. • 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. Assembly • 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. • Use only the stand 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. DMI-5 6 DGX-650 Owner’s Manual 1/2 Connections Handling caution • 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. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure. Setting Up • 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. 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.

DGX-650 Owner’s Manual 15 Setting Up Power Requirements Setting Up WARNING • Use the specified adaptor (page 81) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. 1 Connect the AC power adaptor to the DC IN jack. 2 Plug the AC power adaptor into an AC outlet. 1 CAUTION 2 • Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms, to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. AC power adaptor AC outlet CAUTION • Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components. Also, before turning any components on or off, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, damage to the components, electrical shock, or even permanent hearing loss may occur. Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack) NOTE • The sustain function does not affect the Split Voice (page 24). • Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning 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 sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the supplied footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. Damper Resonance This function simulates the sustain sound produced with the damper pedal on a grand piano. If you want to use this function, select Voice 001 (page 23), then press the Footswitch. This function can be turned off via the FUNCTION display (page 68). 16 DGX-650 Owner’s Manual Setting Up Connecting Headphones or External Audio Equipment (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack) Setting Up CAUTION • 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. NOTICE Headphones Any pair of stereo headphones with a standard stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. This setting can be changed so that speaker sound is always on regardless whether a plug is inserted or not (page 55). External Audio Equipment • When the instrument’s sound is output to an external device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the power off. If the instrument’s power is automatically turned off via the Auto Power Off function (page 20), first turn off the external device, then turn on the power to the instrument then the external device again. NOTICE • Do not route the output from the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to the AUX IN jack. If you make this connection, the signal input at the AUX IN jack is output from the PHONES/OUTPUT jack. These connections could result in a feedback loop that will make normal performance impossible, and may even damage both pieces of equipment. NOTE • Use audio cables and adaptor cables having no (zero) resistance. Standard stereo phone plug Standard stereo phone plug Audio cable The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s output signal to that device. Optimum setting Output gain level for this jack is set to a value suitable for connecting headphones, as the default setting. You can switch this to the value suitable for connecting an external audio device. For details on how to switch the value, see page 55. DGX-650 Owner’s Manual 17 Setting Up Connecting a Pedal Unit (PEDAL UNIT jack) Setting Up This jack is for connecting an optional LP-7A/LP7AWH pedal unit. When connecting the pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit on the supplied keyboard stand. NOTE • Make sure that power is off when connecting or disconnecting the pedal. • This affects only Main/Dual Voices and Harmony sound (pages 23, 24 and 27). LP-7A/7AWH (optional) Keyboard Stand Pedal Unit functions Damper Pedal (Right) Pressing this pedal will sustain notes longer. Releasing this pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. A “halfpedal” function of this pedal creates partial sustain effects, depending on how far down you press the pedal. When using both a footswitch and pedal unit, the last effect applied takes priority. Damper Resonance This function simulates the sustain sound produced with a damper pedal on a grand piano. This effect is added when the Damper pedal is pressed for Voice 001. You can turn this function on or off via the FUNCTION display (page 68). Sostenuto Pedal (Center) If you play a note or notes on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to sustain a note or notes, for example, while other notes are played “staccato.” Soft Pedal (Left) The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed. 18 DGX-650 Owner’s Manual If you press and hold the damper pedal here, all the notes shown will be sustained. If you press and hold the sostenuto pedal here, only the notes held at this timing will be sustained.

DGX-650 Owner’s Manual 77 Appendix Troubleshooting For the Instrument Problem Possible Cause and Solution When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power. The power is automatically turned off. This is normal and due to the Auto Power Off function. If necessary, set the parameter of the Auto Power Off function (page 20). When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument. Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers or headphones when using the instrument with an iPhone/iPad application. When you use the instrument along with an iPhone/iPad application, we recommend that you set “Airplane Mode” to “ON” on your iPhone/iPad in order to avoid noise caused by communication. There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a Style or Song is being played back. Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel. When a plug is connected to this jack, no sound is output. Check the Local Control on/off setting. (See page 68.) Is the FILE CONTROL display showing? The instrument’s keyboard, etc., will not produce any sound while the FILE CONTROL display is showing. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display. Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound. When using the Dictionary function (page 62), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type. The Style or Song does not play back when the [START/STOP] button is pressed. Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to “External Clock” on page 68. The Style does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 60) is set to an appropriate level. Is the Split Point set at an appropriate key for the chords you are playing? Set the Split Point at an appropriate key (page 61). Is the “ACMP” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show. Appendix 78 No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number 165 or a style between 178–195 (Pianist). This is not a malfunction. Style number 165 and style numbers 178–195 (Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard if the ACMP is turned on. Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off. The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 128 notes. If the Dual Voice or Split Voice is being used and a Style or Song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the accompaniment or Song. The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds. The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power. The sound of the Voice changes from note to note. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the Voice may be slightly different from note to note. The appropriate display does not appear when the [SONG/AUDIO], [STYLE], or [VOICE] button is pressed. Is another display showing? Try pressing the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display, and then pressing one of the mentioned buttons. The ACMP indicator does not appear when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed. Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any Style-related function. The “Over Current” message is shown in the upper left area of the MAIN display and the USB device does not respond. Communication with the USB device has been shut down because of the overcurrent to the USB device. Disconnect the device from the USB TO DEVICE terminal, then turn on the power of the instrument. The Headphone sound is too low. Make sure the parameter of “Output Gain Level” is set to “Headphones” (page 55). DGX-650 Owner’s Manual Messages LCD Message Comment Access error!
