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 instrument 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 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.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3C or PA-3B or an equivalent recommended
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.
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
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-con-
nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause over-
heating 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 conformity with the +/-
polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or bat-
tery 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 bat-
teries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or dif-
ferent 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 immedi-
ately 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 inter-
nal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televi-
sions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can
affect proper operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acci-
dentally 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 thin-
ners, 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.
• 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.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-
fortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
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.

Setting Up
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-175/172 for playing. Make sure to
read this section carefully before using the instrument.
Power Requirements
Although the PSR-175/172 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batter-
ies, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adap-
tor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.
■ Using an AC Power Adaptor • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
To connect your PSR-175/172 to a wall socket, you will need the optionally avail-
able Yamaha PA-3C or PA-3B Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could
result in damage to the instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind.
Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the PSR-175/172 is set to
STANDBY.
Connect one end of the adaptor to the DC IN 12V jack on the rear panel of your
PSR-175/172, and the other end to a suitable electrical outlet.
■ Using Batteries • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
● Inserting Batteries
Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery compartment lid. Insert
six 1.5-volt “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries as shown in the illustra-
tion, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned,
and replace the lid.
● When the Batteries Run Down
When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the
PSR-175/172 may not sound or function properly. As soon as this happens,
replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.
Turning On the Power
With the AC power adaptor connected or with batteries installed, simply move the
STANDBY switch until it is set to the ON position. When the instrument is not in
use, be sure to turn the power off.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3C or
PA-3B AC Power Adaptor (or
other adaptor specifically rec-
ommended by Yamaha) to
power your instrument from
the AC mains. The use of other
adaptors may result in irrepa-
rable damage to both the adap
-
tor and the PSR-175/172.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor
when not using the PSR-175/
172, or during electrical
storms.
• Never mix old and new batter-
ies or different types of batter-
ies (e.g., alkaline and
manganese).
• To prevent possible damage
from battery leakage, remove
the batteries from the instru-
ment if it is not to be used for a
long time.
• Even when the switch is in the
“STANDBY” position, electric-
ity is still flowing to the instru-
ment at the minimum level.
When you are not using the
PSR-175/172 for a long time,
make sure you unplug the AC
power adaptor from the wall
AC outlet, and/or remove the
batteries from the instrument.

Accessory Jacks
■ Using Headphones• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of ste-
reo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack. Sound from the built-
in speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into
this jack.
■ Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo System • • • • • • •
Though the PSR-175/172 is equipped with a built-in speaker system, you can also
play it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the PSR-
175/172 and any external devices are turned off, then connect one end of a stereo
audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN jack(s) of the other device and the other
end to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the PSR-175/172.
■ Using a Sustain Footswitch • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain
the sound of the keyboard voice. This is used in the same way as a damper pedal
on an acoustic piano — press and hold down the footswitch as you play the key-
board to sustain the sound.
■ Using the MIDI Terminals • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
The PSR-175/172 also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the
PSR-175/172 with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information,
see page 52.)
• To prevent damage to the
speakers, set the volume of the
external devices at the mini-
mum setting before connect-
ing 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 grad
-
ually raise the volume controls
while playing the instrument to
set the desired listening level.
• Make sure that the footswitch
plug is properly connected to the
SUSTAIN 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.

you professional instrumental backing for your performances. Sim-
ply play chords with your left hand — and the PSR-175/172 auto-
matically produces appropriate bass, chord and rhythm backing.
Use your right hand to play melodies, and you’ll sound like an entire
band!

Grade
The PSR-175/172 has a built-in evaluation function that
monitors your practicing and — like a real teacher — tells
you how well you did each exercise. Four grades are
assigned, depending on your performance: “OK,” “Good,”
“Very Good,” and “Excellent.”
Want to find out more? See page 39.
Talking
This feature “talks” to you through the speakers,
“announcing” the Grade comments as well as the titles of
the Lesson steps.
Want to find out more? See page 40.
Changing the Tempo
Naturally, you can change the tempo (speed) of the song
to your liking, letting you slow down difficult passages
and bring up the tempo gradually until you master them at
normal speed.

• The PSR-175/172 also has a convenient Tap Tempo function that
allows you to “tap” a new tempo in real time. (See page 44.)
This step lets you work on the timing of the notes. In Les-
son 1, the particular note you play on the keyboard is
unimportant. The PSR-175/172 checks your timing and
how rhythmically “tight” your playing is.
Want to find out more? See page 36.
In Lesson 2, you practice playing the notes correctly as
they appear in the display notation. The accompaniment
pauses and waits for you to play the notes correctly before
it continues.
Want to find out more? See page 37.
In Lesson 3, one of the parts is muted, and you practice
the missing part in time with the rhythm.
Want to find out more? See page 37.
Lesson 4 is just like Lesson 3, except that the parts for
both hands are muted, letting you practice the missing
parts in time with the rhythm.

The PSR-175/172 has seven Overall functions or con-
trols. The currently selected function is indicated by a
dark bar that appears next to its name (printed on the

e Notation / r Keyboard
These two portions of the display conveniently indi-
cate notes currently played on the keyboard. When a

of the melody in succession. When the Style mode
and auto accompaniment are active, the display also
shows the specific notes of the current chord.
The indication “8va” appears at the
lower or upper part of the notation
staff for a note or notes that are
respectively an octave lower or
higher than notated.
t Measure/Tempo and beat
This shows either the current measure (when the Song
mode is selected) or the current Tempo value (when
the Style mode is selected). The hand clap icons also
flash to indicate the beats in the measure during song
or style playback. (See page 31.)
y Chord
When a song is being played back, this indicates the
current chord root and type. It also indicates chords
played in the ACMP section of the keyboard when the
Style mode and auto accompaniment are on.
u Song/Voice/Style name and number
This portion of the display indicates the name and
number of the currently selected song, voice, or style.
