Yamaha PortaSound PSS-595 Quick Reference

How to Use This Booklet
The illustrated two page lay-out which follows shows the complete range of PortaSound functions. If you read the five
numbered sections in sequence, you can easily grasp the fundamentals of operating the PortaSound including selecting
Voices, Rhythm, Auto Accompaniment, and recording/playback by Song Memory, and a practice song. Of course, you can
also read just those sections which are most important to you as needed. The caption, "o page xx in Owner's Manual"
following the head lines, shows the page number in the Owner's Manual, where information can be found regarding more
detailed operations, etc. Or, several functions are also explained in this booklet. They are shown by the caption, "o page xx
in Quick Reference" following short introduction of them.
Getting Started
First, complete the set-ups as shown in the following diagrams.
Getting up the power supply
(o page 3 in Owner's Manual)
When you are using batteries
Flip the PortaSound over and open the battery case. Insert
six batteries (dry cells: 1.5V SUM-2 or R-14) all facing the
same direction as shown. Replace cover.
In case the batteries' voltage is lowered, you will hear the sounds
become distorted. If you continue using the PortaSound, the indication
<bt chn> will be displayed, which means "battery change" and warns
at it's time to replace all six batteries with new ones.
When using an electrical outlet
An authorized optional AC adaptor (YAMAHA PA-3, PA-4,
or PA-40) must be used. The adaptor is plugged into the
DC 9-12V IN terminal located on the back of the
instrument.
• Hook-Up terminals for connections
(o page 3 in Owner's Manual)
To use headphones
Plug the headphones into the terminal marked:
HEADPHONES/AUX. OUT. When the jack is plugged in,
the speakers of the PortaSound will no longer play out,
thereby enabling you to enjoy making music without
disturbing those around you.
To connect to keyboard amplifier or
stereo
If you use a keyboard or stereo amplifier you can greatly
enhance the overall sound. Plug in an Audio connection
cord from the PortaSound's HEADPHONES/AUX. OUT
terminal to the amplifier's <LINE IN>, <AUX. IN>, etc.
In both cases of connections, you adjust the volume using the Master
Volume control of the PortaSound.
