Congratulations! You are the proud owner of an extraordinary electronic keyboard. The Yamaha PSR-5700 PortaTone combines the most advanced AWM tone generation technology with state-of-the-art digital electronics and features to give you stunning sound quality with maximum musical enjoyment. The Interactive Accompaniment and Super Style Play features, in particular, are brilliant examples of how advanced technology can significantly expand your musical horizons.
About the PSR-5700 Manuals The PSR-5700 comes with two manuals: “Getting Started” (this manual), and the “Advanced Features” manual. ■ The “Getting Started” Manual This, as its name suggests, is the manual you should start with. The “Getting Started” manual will teach you everything you need to basically play and enjoy the PSR5700, concentrating on the keys and controls that you’ll use most frequently. The Getting Started manual covers: ● Playing the demonstration. ● Selecting and playing voices.
Taking Care of Your PortaTone Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the simple rules given below: ■ Location Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage. ● Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window). ● High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during the daytime). ● Excessive humidity. ● Excessive dust. ● Strong vibration.
■ Electrical Interference ● This instrument contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment. ■ Data Backup ● Internal data (e.g. sequencer data) is retained in memory even if the power switch is turned OFF. If the power is not turned ON for periods longer than about a week, however, memory data will be lost.
