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-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. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the
power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
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.
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.
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.
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 in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile
phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may
generate noise.
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 setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power
switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum
level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or
rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the
internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
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.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel
or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
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 use the instrument/device or headphones 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.
Saving and backing up your data
The panel settings and some other types of data is lost when you turn off the power
to the instrument. Save the data to the Registration Memory (page 80.)

Special Features of the PSR-I425
Creating New Sounds Page 18
By adjusting just two knobs you can add varying degrees of distortion,
“sweetness,” or other characteristics to a sound to change it subtly or drasti-
cally. Parameters that can be assigned to the knobs include effect, filter, enve-
lope generator and more. You can create new sounds in real time!
Arpeggio Function Page 14
Similar to the arpeggio functions provided on some synthesizers, this func-
tion automatically produces arpeggios (broken chords) when you simply play
the appropriate notes on the keyboard. A variety of arpeggios can be pro-
duced by changing your fingering or the arpeggio type.
Performance assistant technology Page 23
Play along with a song on the instrument’s keyboard and produce a perfect
performance every time ... even if you play wrong notes! All you have to do
is play on the keyboard—alternately on the left- and right-hand ranges of the
keyboard, for example—and you’ll sound like a pro as long as you play in
time with the music.
Play a Variety of Instrument Voices Page 28
The instrument voice that sounds when you play the keyboard can be
changed to violin, flute, harp, or any of an extensive range of voices. You can
change the mood of a song written for piano, for example, by using violin to
play it instead. Experience a whole new world of musical variety.
Play Along with Styles Page 33
Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles.
The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band cov-
ering a wide variety of styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance ... and
much more. Select a style that matches the music you want to play, or exper-
iment with new styles to expand your musical horizons.

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 power adaptor 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, make sure to
replace all batteries, following the precautions listed
below.
If necessary, also make sure to save all important User
data (see page 56), since custom panel settings are
lost when the batteries are removed.
Power Requirements
Use the specified adaptor (PA-3C, or an equivalent recom-
mended by Yamaha) only. 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
Adaptor
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
exhibit a sudden drop in power when the batteries are low, possi-
bly resulting in a loss of flash memory data.
Be sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintaining
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 will not be used for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries to prevent possible fluid leakage.
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
PSR-I425 Owner’s Manual 11
Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on.
The PSR-I425 speakers are automatically 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 keyboard 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 a 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 86). To use
the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do the fol-
lowing:
• First, make sure the POWER switch on the instru-
ment is set to OFF, then use a USB cable to con-
nect the instrument to the computer. After making
the connections, turn on the power of the instru-
ment.
• Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.
Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on
page 94.
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. Press the [STANDBY/ON]
switch again to turn the power OFF.
Backup data in the flash memory is loaded to the instru-
ment when the power is turned on. If no backup data
exists on flash memory, all instrument settings 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)
Turning the Power On
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, electricity is
still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. 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 bat-
teries 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
and result in data loss.

Creating Arpeggios
The arpeggio function lets you create arpeggios (broken chords) by
simply playing the required notes on the keyboard. For example, you
could play the notes of a triad—the root, third, and fifth—and the arpeg-
gio function will automatically create a variety of interesting arpeggio-
type phrases. By changing the arpeggio type and the notes you play it
is possible to create a wide range of patterns and phrases that can be
used for music production as well as performance.

Press the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button to turn the arpeg-
gio function on.
Voices and the Arpeggio Function
This instrument lets you select a variety of “voices” that you can play
via the keyboard. When you select a voice number between 129 and 143
the arpeggio function will automatically be engaged so you can start
playing arpeggios immediately. The arpeggio function will automati-
cally be turned off when you select any other voice.
If you want to use voices 129–143 for normal performance without the
arpeggio function, press the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button to turn the
arpeggio function off after selecting the voice.

Select an arpeggio type.
The most suitable arpeggio type is automatically selected when you
select a voice, but you can easily select any other arpeggio type.
Hold the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button for longer than a second and
the name of the current arpeggio type will appear in the display. Rotate
the dial to select the desired arpeggio type. A list of the available arpeg-
gio types is provided on page 115.
3
Play the keyboard.
The sound of the arpeggio produced will change according to the num-
ber of notes you play and the area of the keyboard you play in. You can
save the instrument’s settings at this point and then recall them at any
time you want to repeat your performance (page 80). You can also
record your performance (page 52).
The arpeggio function applies only to the main and dual voices, and
does not affect split voices. The arpeggio function cannot be used at the
same time as the harmony function.

When you have finished playing with the arpeggio func-
tion, press the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button to turn it off.

Create a Pop Tune
You can play a style and specify the style chords with your left hand while playing arpeggios with your
right hand to create interesting sonic textures and backgrounds.
1 Select the keyboard voice (page 28).
For this example we’ll use a grand piano voice, so press the [PORTABLE GRAND]
button. This convenient voice selection method lets you instantly select a voice with a
single button press.
2 After turning the arpeggio function on, select an arpeggio type (steps 1
and 2 on the preceding page).
For this example select “02 DownOct1”.
That completes preparation to use the arpeggio function.
3 Select the style you want to play along with the arpeggio function.
A “style” is an automatic accompaniment pattern.
Press the [STYLE] button and the name of the currently selected style will appear in the
display. Rotate the dial to select the desired style. For this example we’ll use the “001
8BtModrn” (8 Beat Modern) style.

4 Press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn auto accompaniment on.
When auto accompaniment is turned on, the left-hand section of the keyboard is used only
for specifying accompaniment chords.
5 Press the [START/STOP] button.
The rhythm accompaniment will start.
6 Begin playing.
Listen carefully to the rhythm of the style, then play the notes shown in the score at the
beginning of a measure. The style and arpeggio will begin playing together.
The accompaniment will change accordingly each time you play a new left-hand chord.
Of course you can also change your right-hand fingering to produce interesting changes.
If you’re not comfortable with right-hand playing yet, you could use the performance
assistant technology feature described on page 23. When the performance assistant feature
is on, playing any right-hand key will always produce musically appropriate notes!
Whenever you’re playing a style as well as a right-hand part, be sure that your left hand
plays only to the left of the split point and your right hand plays only to the right of the
split point. (page 30)

Create Original Sounds
The two knobs located in the lower left area of the panel can be used to
add variations to the sound being played, transforming the sound in a
variety of musical ways. Filter, envelope generator, and other effects
can be assigned to the two knobs as required. In this section we’ll
explain how effects can be assigned to the knobs, and provide a few
tips for their use.
Repeatedly press the [ASSIGN] button to sequentially select the five effect combinations provided: z
x c v b z ... etc. The currently selected combination is shown in the display.
zc affect the main and dual voices only. Split voices will not be affected. Styles and songs will also not
be affected.
vb affect styles only.

z Filter
Filter effects shape sound by allowing only a specified range of frequencies
to pass and/or by producing a resonance peak at the filter’s “cutoff” fre-
quency. Filter effects can be used to create a range of synthesizer-like
sounds.
* Filter effects can sometimes cause distortion in the bass frequencies.
Some hints for using the filter effects are provided on page 22.
Knob A adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency, and therefore the brightness of
the sound.
Knob B adjusts the amount of resonance applied at the filter’s cutoff fre-
quency. Increasing the resonance emphasizes the frequencies at the cutoff
frequency, and thus “strengthens” the perceived effect of the filter.
x Effect
Reverb reproduces the acoustic ambience of a concert hall or club, while
chorus produces a layered “multi-instrument” effect.
Knob A adjusts the depth of the reverb effect, and Knob B adjusts the depth
of the chorus effect.

c EG (Envelope Generator)
Envelope Generator effects determine how the level of the sound varies over
time. You can make the attack faster for a more percussive sound or slower
for a violin-like sound, for example. Or you can lengthen or shorten the sus-
tain to most ideally match the music.
Knob A adjusts attack time (the amount of time it takes the sound to reach
maximum level when a key is played).
Knob B adjusts release time (the amount of time it takes for the sound to
decay to silence after a key is released).
v Style Filter
In this case the knobs apply the filter effect to the style being played. Knob A
and Knob B have the same functions as for “z Filter” described on the pre-
ceding page.
b Style Tempo
Knob A adjusts the tempo of the style and arpeggios. Rotating the knob
clockwise increases the tempo while rotating it counterclockwise decreases
the tempo. The knob’s center position produces the initial default tempo.
