PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions 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:

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble

the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instru-

ment contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should

appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immedi-

ately 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.

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or dam-

aged, 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.

• Use the speciﬁed adaptor (PA-3B or an equivalent rec-

ommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor

can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the

electric plug from the outlet. 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.

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 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.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or

an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.

• 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.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the

instrument, or during electrical storms.

• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in confor-

mity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so

might result in overheating, ﬁre, or battery ﬂuid leak-

age.

• 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 man-

ganese 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.

• Do not dispose of batteries in ﬁre.

• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not

intended to be charged.

• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to

be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the

instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery

ﬂuid.

• Keep batteries away from children.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

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:

• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked

ﬂuid. If the battery ﬂuid should come in contact with

your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water

and consult a doctor. Battery ﬂuid is corrosive and may

possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.

• 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. Also, 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 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 or damage

to the internal components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products

such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this

might cause interference which can affect proper opera-

tion of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position

where it might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected

adaptor and other cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do

not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or

chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not

place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument,

since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• 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 operate the instrument 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.

■

REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY

• This instrument contains a non rechargeable internal

backup battery which permits internal data to remain

stored even when the power is off. When the backup

battery needs replacing, the message "Backup

Batt.Low" will display in the LCD display. When this

happens, immediately back up your data, then have

qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel replace the backup

battery.

• Do not attempt to replace the backup battery yourself, in

order to prevent the possible serious hazards. Always

have qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel replace the

backup battery.

• Never place the backup battery in a location that a child

can reach, since a child might accidentally swallow the

battery. If this should happen, consult a physician

immediately.

■

SAVING USER DATA

• Always save data to a Memory Card (SmartMedia) fre-

quently, in order to help prevent the loss of important

data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in

use.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local

regulations.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage

caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the

instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Meet the QY100

16-track sequencer, 525-voice tone module, unmatched auto-

matic accompaniment features and more all rolled into one! The

QY100 is a complete mini-studio for accompaniment and electronic

music production that you can use just about anywhere — at home

or on the road.

Guitarists!

The practice and accompaniment tool you’ve been wait-

ing for is here! Use the QY100 as your private “band” to reﬁne and

display your talents to the max.

Singers!

Think of it as a fully programmable, very versatile accompa-

niment and “karaoke” machine complete with a range of superb

vocal effects.

Keyboard Players, Composers, & All Electronic Musicians!

It’s all

here: the sequencer, the tone module, the advanced accompaniment

features. Everything you need to create even the most complex elec-

tronic music.

The screen displays as illustrated in this owner’s manual are for

instructional purposes, and may appear somewhat different

from the screens which appear on your instrument.

8

Power & Connections

Although the QY100 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or

batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible.

Moreover, an AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries

and does not deplete resources.

Plug the DC output cable from a Yamaha PA-3B AC Adaptor (available

from your Yamaha dealer) into the DC IN jack on the rear panel, then plug

the adaptor into a convenient wall AC power socket.

CAUTION

• Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the speciﬁed unit or an appropriate

replacement provided by your Yamaha dealer to power the QY100. The use of an

incompatible adaptor may cause irreparable damage to the QY100, and might pose a

serious shock hazard!

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

storms.

14

Power & Connections

The simplest way to monitor the QY100 sound is via a pair of stereo

headphones (miniature stereo phone plug type) plugged into the LINE OUT/

PHONES jack. If you want to use an external stereo sound system, how-

ever, use the supplied “Y” cable (miniature stereo phone plug to dual RCA

pin plugs) to connect the LINE OUT/PHONES jack to the inputs of a stereo

sound system. The white RCA pin plug goes to the left-channel input of

your stereo sound system and the red plug goes to the right-channel input.

CAUTION

• Make sure that both the QY100 and your sound system are turned OFF (STANDBY)

when making connections.

Although the QY100 can be played and programmed from the built-

in micro-keyboard, an external MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN

connector provides the added advantages of standard keyboard size and

key velocity sensivity (if your keyboard has a velocity-sensitive keyboard).

Connect the MIDI OUT connector of the keyboard to the MIDI IN connec-

tor of the QY100, and make sure that the QY100 HOST SELECT switch is

set to MIDI. The connected MIDI keyboard will play the voice assigned to

the currently selected sequencer track. See page 71 for instructions on

how to assign different voices to the sequencer tracks.

without the need for a separate MIDI interface.

■

IMPORTANT!

• If the QY100 is to be connected to a computer via the TO HOST connector and a

MIDI controller via the MIDI IN connector, the “echo back”(or “MIDI Thru” etc) func-

tion of the music software or sequencer you are using must be turned “on” so that

the MIDI note data from the controller is returned to the QY100 and any subsequent

devices connected to the QY100 MIDI OUT connector.
