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:

• 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 (PA-5D, PA-3C or an equivalent recommended by

Yamaha) 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.

• 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.

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. 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 containers on it containing liquids which might spill into

any openings.

• 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.

• 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.

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:

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold

the plug itself and not the cord.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during

electrical storms.

• 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.

• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity

markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, 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 batteries from different makers, or different types of

batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, ﬁre, or battery

ﬂuid leakage.

DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner’s Manual

Setting Up

Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.

Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC

adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete

resources.

■

Using an AC Power Adaptor



Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the

instrument is set to STANDBY.

 Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, PA-3C or other

adaptor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to the

power supply jack.

 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

■ Using Batteries

 Open the battery compartment cover located on the

instrument’s bottom panel.

 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow

the polarity markings on the inside of the compart-

ment.

 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it

locks ﬁrmly in place.

For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V

“D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline

batteries are recommended.) When battery power

becomes too low for proper operation, the battery

exchange indication ﬂashes in the display. As soon as

this message appears, make sure to replace all batter-

ies, following the precautions listed below.

If necessary, also make sure to save all important User

data (see page 42), since custom panel settings are

lost when the batteries are removed.

Power Requirements

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D or PA-3C AC Power Adaptor (or

other adaptor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to power

your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors

may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the

instrument.

WARNING

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument,

or during electrical storms.

CAUTION

PA-5D or

PA-3C

AC outlet





• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from

the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are

installed.

NOTE

• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument.

Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may

have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low,

possibly resulting in loss of data in the ﬂash memory.

• Make sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintain-

ing the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation

may result in heat, ﬁre and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals.

• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of

six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use

different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the

same time.

• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the bat-

teries from it, in order to prevent possible ﬂuid leakage from the

battery.

• Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to ﬂash

memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained

rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become

drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and

the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost.

CAUTION

Setting Up

DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner’s Manual 11

Make all necessary connections BEFORE turning the power on.

The DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 speakers are automat-

ically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.

The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an exter-

nal output.

You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a key-

board ampliﬁer, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or

other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s

output signal to that device.

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain

as you play by pressing an optional footswitch. Plug the

Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it

to switch sustain on and off.

Connect the instrument’s USB terminal to the USB ter-

minal of a computer, and you can transfer performance

data and song ﬁles between the two (page 66).

To use the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do

the following:

• Connect the USB terminal of the computer to the

USB terminal on the instrument using a standard

USB cable.

• Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.

Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on

page 71.

With this capability you can, for example, use the

Musicsoft Downloader software provided on the sup-

plied CD-ROM to transfer songs from your computer to

the instrument’s ﬂash memory.

Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOL-

UME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON]

switch to turn on the power. Pressing the switch again

turns the power off.

Backup data in the ﬂash memory (page 42) is loaded to

the instrument when the power is turned on. If no

backup data exists on ﬂash memory, all instrument set-

tings are restored to the initial factory defaults when the

power is turned on.

Connecting headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT jack)

Connecting a footswitch (SUSTAIN JACK)

•Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long peri-

ods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be

damaging to your hearing.

WARNING

•To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume 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

minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while

playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

CAUTION

• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUS-

TAIN 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.

NOTE

Connecting to a computer (USB terminal)

Turn on the power

• Make sure to purchase a quality USB cable at a musical instrument

store, computer store or electrical appliance store.

NOTE

• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, a small

amount of electricity is still being consumed by the instrument.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure

you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or

remove the batteries from the instrument.

CAUTION

•Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!” message

is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the ﬂash memory

The Easy Way To Play Piano

This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature that lets

you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even though you

might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any notes and still

sound good! So even if you can’t play piano and can’t read a note of music,

you can have some musical fun.

The secret to the performance assistant technology’s ability to turn random playing into music is divulged on page 16.

Enjoy the feature for a while ﬁrst, then read about how its done.

Press the [SONG] button.

The song number and name will be displayed. You can use the dial or other

selection controls to select a different song.

Select a song.

Rotate the dial and watch the displayed song names – for this example we’ll

select song “026 Twinkle Star.”

Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button.

This turns on the performance assistant technology feature.

Icon will appear after displaying “PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT”.

To use the performance assistant technology you must be playing a song that includes chord data.

right hands (any notes will do).

How does it sound? You’ll get acceptable results no matter where you play

thanks to performance assistant technology!

Next try the three playing methods illustrated below. Different ways of playing

produce different results.

Once you get a feel for it, try playing chords with your left hand and a melody

with your right … or any other combination.

Song playback will stop automatically when the song has played all the way

through.

You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button.

Quick Guide The Easy Way To Play Piano

— The Secret Of performance assistant technology —

How It Creates Music From Random Notes

Performance assistant technology reads the chord data from the song and only assigns notes that will “work” at that

moment to the keyboard. Since the chords of a song are constantly changing, different notes and chords will be pro-

duced even if you repeatedly play the same keys.

● Songs That Can Be Used With the performance assistant technology

Performance assistant technology can only be used with songs that include chord data. Preset Songs can be used with

performance assistant technology since the songs include chord data.

● External Songs and the performance assistant technology

In addition to the instrument’s internal songs, the 70 songs provided on the Accessory CD-ROM (page 70) can be used

with performance assistant technology. A list of the MIDI songs included on the Accessory CD-ROM is provided on

page 85.

Songs downloaded from the Internet can also be used with performance assistant technology as long as they include

the required chord data. Transfer song ﬁles you want to use from your computer to the instrument’s ﬂash memory

(page 68).

You can select any song you like and use it for a left-hand, right-hand,

or both-hands lesson. You can also use songs (only SMF format 0)

downloaded from the Internet and saved to ﬂash memory. During the

lesson you can play as slowly as you like, and you can even play wrong

notes. Song playback will slow down to a speed you can handle.

It’s never too late to start learning!

The lesson procedure is as follows:

● Lesson 1 ........... (Learn to play the correct notes): The song will wait until you play the right note.

● Lesson 2 ........... (Learn to play the correct notes with the correct timing): Song playback tempo will vary to match the speed

you are playing at. The song will slow down when you play wrong notes, so you can learn at your own pace.

● Lesson 3 ........... (Learn to play the correct notes at the correct timing along with the song): here’s where you can perfect your

technique.

Only songs in SMF Format 0 can be used for practice. You need to specify which channels are to be played back as the

right/left-hand parts when you practice using songs downloaded from the Internet (page 69).

■ Chord Basics

Two or more notes played together constitute a “chord.”

The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the root, third, and

ﬁfth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad, for example, is made up of

the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the ﬁfth note of

the C major scale).

In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the chord (this is the chord’s “root position” … using

other chord notes for the lowest note results in “inversions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports

and anchors the other chord notes.

The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third.

The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or

minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown

below.

The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create different

inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by choosing the appropri-

ate inversions (or chord “voicings”).

● Reading Chord Names

Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other

than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the chord is,

whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a major or

ﬂatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses … all at a glance.

Connecting To a Computer

Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made today – particularly synthesizers,

sequencers and computer music related devices – use MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide standard that

allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Naturally, this instru-

ment lets you save or send your keyboard performance as MIDI data, as well as the songs,

styles and panel settings.

The potential MIDI holds for your live performances and music creation/production is enor-

mous – simply by connecting this instrument to a computer and transmitting MIDI data. In this

section, you’ll learn the basics of MIDI and the speciﬁc MIDI functions provided by this instru-

ment.

No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instru-

ment” and “digital instrument.” In the world today,

these are the two main categories of instruments. Let’s

consider a grand piano and a classical guitar as repre-

sentative acoustic instruments. They are easy to under-

stand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer

inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the gui-

tar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But

how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?

As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic

instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note)

stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is

played based on information received from the key-

board. So then what is the information from the key-

board that becomes the basis for note production?

For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using

the grand piano sound on the instrument. Unlike an

acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the

electronic instrument puts out information from the key-

board such as “with what voice,” “with which key,”

“about how strong,” “when was it pressed,” and “when

was it released.” Then each piece of information is

changed into a number value and sent to the tone gener-

ator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator

plays the stored sampling note.

Example of Keyboard Information

Your keyboard performance and all panel operations of

this instrument are processed as MIDI data. The songs,

auto accompaniment (styles), and User songs are also

made up of MIDI data.

MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument

Digital Interface and it allows different musical instru-

ments and devices to instantly communicate with each

other, via digital data. The MIDI standard is used all

over the world and was designed to transmit perfor-

mance data between electronic musical instruments (or

computers). Thanks to MIDI, you can control one

instrument from another and transmit performance data

between the devices-taking your creative and perfor-

mance potential to even higher levels.

MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Chan-

nel messages and System messages.

● Channel Messages

This instrument is capable of handling 16 MIDI chan-

nels simultaneously – meaning it can play up to sixteen

different instruments at the same time. Channel mes-

sages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Pro-

gram Change, for each of the 16 channels.

● System Messages

This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI

system. System messages include messages like Exclu-

sive Messages that transmit data unique to each instru-

ment manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control

the MIDI device.

What Is MIDI?

● Acoustic guitar note production

Pluck a string and the body

resonates the sound.

● Digital instrument note production

Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note

stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.

This instrument can be connected to a computer to

allow transfer of MIDI data.

Connect a standard USB cable between the instrument’s

rear-panel USB connector and the USB connector on

your computer (USB cable sold separately).

It is also necessary to install the USB driver provided on

the supplied CD-ROM on your computer. Refer to the

“Accessory CD-ROM Installation Guide” on page 70

for details.

The supplied CD-ROM also includes a Musicsoft

Downloader application that allows you to transfer song

ﬁles from your computer to the instrument’s ﬂash mem-

ory.

■ USB Precautions

Please observe the following precautions when connect-

ing the instrument to a computer via a USB cable.

Failure to do so can cause the instrument and/or the

computer to hang up (freeze), possibly causing corrup-

tion or loss of data.

If the instrument or computer does hang up, turn the

power to both devices off and then on again, and restart

the computer.

These settings pertain to MIDI data transmission and reception.

■ Local ON/OFF ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Local control determines whether or not notes played on

the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator

system: the internal tone generator is active when local

control is on, and inactive when local control is off.

ON This is the normal setting in which notes played on the

instrument’s keyboard are sounded by the internal tone

generator system. Data received via the instrument’s

USB connector will also be played by the internal tone

generator.

OFF With this setting the instrument itself produces no sound

(keyboard performance, harmony, or style playback), but

the performance data is transmitted via the USB con-

nector. Data received via the instrument’s USB connec-

tor will also be played by the internal tone generator.

Local control can turned on or off via the FUNCTION

Local item (page 64).

■ External Clock ON/OFF ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

These settings determine whether the instrument is syn-

chronized to its own internal clock (OFF), or to a clock

signal from an external device (ON).

ON The instrument’s time based functions will be synchro-

nized to the clock from an external device connected to

the USB connector.

OFF The instrument uses its own internal clock (default).

External clock control can turned on or off via the

FUNCTION External Clock item (page 64).

DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner’s Manual

Troubleshooting

■

For the DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293

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.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.

Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce inter-

ference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from

the instrument.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or

when a song or style is being played back.

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

panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is out-

put.

Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 66.)

Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does

not produce any sound.

When using the Dictionary function (page 55), the keys in the right hand area

are used only for entering the chord root and type.

• The volume is too soft.

• The sound quality is poor.

• The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play.

• The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play cor-

rectly.

• The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel set-

tings are reset.

The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new

ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.

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 66.

The style does not sound properly.

Make sure that the Style Volume (page 63) is set to an appropriate level.

Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set

the split point at an appropriate key (page 51).

Is the “ACMP ON” 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 number

112 or a style between 124 and 135 (Pianist).

This is not a malfunction. Style number 112 and style numbers 124 – 135

(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 key-

board if style playback 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 32 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 accompani-

ment or song.

The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the oppo-

site 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 wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played.

Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on.

Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off.

The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the

[ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.

Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button ﬁrst when you are

going to use any style-related function.

There is no harmony sound.

The harmony effects (01 – 26) behave differently according to their type.

Types 01 – 05 function when style playback is on, chords are played in the

accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is played in the right-

hand range. Types 06 – 26 will function whether style playback is on or off. For

types 06 = 12 you need to play two notes at the same time.

Voice List

■ Maximum Polyphony • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means that it

can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once, regardless of what

functions are used. Auto accompaniment uses a number of the avail-

able notes, so when auto accompaniment is used the total number of

available notes for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly

reduced. The same applies to the Split Voice and Song functions. If

the maximum polyphony is exceeded, earlier played notes will be

cut off and the most recent notes have priority (last note priority).

● Panel Voice List

• The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers

for each voice. Use these program change numbers

when playing the instrument via MIDI from an external

device.

• Program Numbers 001 to 128 directly relate to MIDI

Program Change Numbers 000 to 127. That is, Pro-

gram Numbers and Program Change Numbers differ

by a value of 1. Remember to take this into consider-

ation.

• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long

decay after the notes have been released while the

sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.

Drum Kit List

•“ ” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.

• Each percussion voice uses one note.

• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example, in “115:

Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).

•Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.

•Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 … 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are designed to

be played alternately with each other.)

Effect Type List

● Harmony Types

Reverb Types

Chorus Types

No. Harmony Type Description

01 Duet Harmony types 01 – 05 are pitch-based and add one-, two- or three-note harmonies to

the single-note melody played in the right hand. These types sound when chords are

played in the auto accompaniment range of the keyboard. These Harmony types will also

work when playing songs that contain chord data.

02 Trio

03 Block

04 Country

05 Octave

06 Trill 1/4 note

Types 6 – 26 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed

repeats in time with the auto accompaniment. These types sound whether the

auto accompaniment is on or not; however, the actual speed of the effect

depends on the Tempo setting (page 17). The individual note values in each

type let you synchronize the effect precisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings are

also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets, 1/12 = eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = six-

teenth-note triplets.

• The Trill effect Types (06 – 12) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when

two notes are held.

• The Tremolo effect Types (13 – 19) repeat all held notes (up to four).

• The Echo effect Types (20 – 26) create delayed repeats of each note played.

07 Trill 1/6 note

08 Trill 1/8 note

09 Trill 1/12 note

10 Trill 1/16 note
