Using Music Cartridges; Inserting A Music Cartridge; Music Cartridge Handling Precautions - Yamaha Portatone PSR-530 Owner's Manual

Using Music Cartridges

The PSR-530 features a cartridge slot which accepts pre-programmed Yamaha Music
Cartridges containing style and/or song data. One sample Music Cartridge containing song
data is supplied with the PSR-530. Others are available from your Yamaha dealer.

Inserting a Music Cartridge

With the power OFF, insert the Music Cartridge into the cartridge slot as shown,
and press down firmly until the Cartridge is seated properly (as shown in the
illustration). The Cartridge is shaped so that it will only fit in the slot one way -
don't try to force it in the wrong way. Turn the power back ON again after inserting.
For Cartridges without the mark, the
bottom of the serrated edges of the
Cartridge should be even with the panel
edge (not above it).

Music Cartridge Handling Precautions

• Do not leave Music Cartridges in lo-
cations which are subject to exces-
sive heat or humidity.
• Do not drop Music Cartridges or sub-
ject them to strong shock.
• Do not disassemble Music Cartridges.
• Do not directly touch the Music
Cartridge's electrical contacts. Per-
sistently touching it may cause to
break electrical contacts or generate
static electricity. Static electric
charges can cause loss of data and
unreliable operation.
• Do not insert objects or cartridges
other than Yamaha Music Cartridges
in the PortaTone cartridge slot. Doing
so can result in serious damage to the
instrument.
The triangular mark on the front of the Cartridge
should be completely below the panel edge when
the Cartridge is properly seated.
• Never attempt to insert or remove a
cartridge when the STAND BY/ON
switch is ON. Doing so can result in
loss of the PSR-530 memory data
(song data/registration memory
data) or complete lack of control.
• The Music Cartridge data may not be
selected or played back correctly, if
the electrical contacts on the Music
Cartridge are affected with dust. If
this happens, insert and remove the
Music Cartridge several times. This
may solve the problem. If the prob-
lem still happens, wipe and clean the
electrical contacts on the Music Car-
tridge with a dry soft cloth.
• Be sure to insert the
Music Cartridge when
you recall the registra-
tion settings based on
the cartridge data or
playback the song
based on the cartridge
data. Otherwise, "No
Cart (Cartridge)" will
appear on the display.
