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-5D, 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.
• 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.

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
ᕡ Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the
instrument is set to STANDBY.
ᕢ Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, PA-3C or other
adaptor speciﬁcally recommended byYamaha) to the
power supply jack.
ᕣ Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
■ Using Batteries
ᕡ Open the battery compartment cover located on the
instrument’s bottom panel.
ᕢ Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the inside of the compart-
ment.
ᕣ 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, the battery
exchange indication ﬂashes in the display. As soon as
this message appears, make sure to replace all batteries,
following the precautions listed below.
If necessary, also make sure to save all important User
data (see page 42), since custom panel settings are
lost when the batteries are removed.
Power Requirements
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D or PA-3C AC Power Adaptor (or
other adaptor speciﬁcally recommended byYamaha) to power
your instrument from the AC mains.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
PA-5D or
PA-3C
AC outlet
ᕢ
ᕣ
• 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
have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low,
possibly resulting in loss of data in the ﬂash memory.
• Make 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 is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries
from it, in order to prevent possible ﬂuid leakage from the
battery.
• 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
DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner’s Manual 11
Make all necessary connections BEFORE turning the power on.
The DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 speakers are automatically
shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.
The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external
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 an optional 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 terminal
of a computer, and you can transfer performance
data and song ﬁles between the two (page 66).
To use the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do
the following:
• Connect the USB terminal of the computer to the
USB terminal on the instrument using a standard
USB cable.
• Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.
Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on
page 71.
With this capability you can, for example, use the
Musicsoft Downloader software provided on the supplied
CD-ROM to transfer songs from your computer to
the instrument’s ﬂash memory.
Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME]
control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON]
switch to turn on the power. Pressing the switch again
turns the power off.
Backup data in the ﬂash memory (page 42) is loaded to
the instrument 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 periods
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 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.
NOTE
Connecting to a computer (USB terminal)
Turn on the power
• 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, a small
amount of electricity is still being consumed by the instrument.
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 batteries 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

The Easy Way To Play Piano
This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature that lets
you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even though you
might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any notes and still
sound good! So even if you can’t play piano and can’t read a note of music,
you can have some musical fun.
The secret to the performance assistant technology’s ability to turn random playing into music is divulged on page 16.
Enjoy the feature for a while ﬁrst, then read about how its done.
Press the [SONG] button.
The song number and name will be displayed. You can use the dial or other
selection controls to select a different song.
Select a song.

select song “026 Twinkle Star.”
Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button.
This turns on the performance assistant technology feature.
Icon will appear after displaying “PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT”.
To use the performance assistant technology you must be playing a song that includes chord data.

thanks to performance assistant technology!
Next try the three playing methods illustrated below. Different ways of playing
produce different results.

— The Secret Of performance assistant technology —
How It Creates Music From Random Notes
Performance assistant technology reads the chord data from the song and only assigns notes that will “work” at that
moment to the keyboard. Since the chords of a song are constantly changing, different notes and chords will be produced
even if you repeatedly play the same keys.
● Songs That Can Be Used With the performance assistant technology
Performance assistant technology can only be used with songs that include chord data. Preset Songs can be used with
performance assistant technology since the songs include chord data.
● External Songs and the performance assistant technology
In addition to the instrument’s internal songs, the 70 songs provided on the Accessory CD-ROM (page 70) can be used
with performance assistant technology. A list of the MIDI songs included on the Accessory CD-ROM is provided on
page 85.
Songs downloaded from the Internet can also be used with performance assistant technology as long as they include
the required chord data. Transfer song ﬁles you want to use from your computer to the instrument’s ﬂash memory
(page 68).

● CATEGORY Buttons [ ], [ ]
When selecting a song, style, or
voice, you can use these buttons to
jump to the ﬁrst item in the next or
previous category.
The CATEGORY buttons are useful
for selecting categorized items, as in
the example below.
Example: VOICE SELECT
In a display in which a category appears, selection is easy if
you ﬁrst use the CATEGORY [ ] and [ ] buttons to select
the category containing the desired item, then use the dial or
[+] and [-] buttons to select the item. This can be particularly
handy when you have to select from a large number of voices.

■ Chord Basics
Two or more notes played together constitute a “chord.”
The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the root, third, and
ﬁfth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad, for example, is made up of
the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the ﬁfth note of
the C major scale).
In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the chord (this is the chord’s “root position” … using
other chord notes for the lowest note results in “inversions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports
and anchors the other chord notes.
The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third.
The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or
minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown
below.
The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create different
inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by choosing the appropriate
inversions (or chord “voicings”).
● Reading Chord Names
Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other
than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the chord is,
whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a major or
ﬂatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses … all at a glance.

Connecting To a Computer
Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made today – particularly synthesizers,
sequencers and computer music related devices – use MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide standard that
allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Naturally, this instrument
lets you save or send your keyboard performance as MIDI data, as well as the songs,
styles and panel settings.
The potential MIDI holds for your live performances and music creation/production is enormous
– simply by connecting this instrument to a computer and transmitting MIDI data. In this
section, you’ll learn the basics of MIDI and the speciﬁc MIDI functions provided by this instru-
ment.
No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument”
and “digital instrument.” In the world today,
these are the two main categories of instruments. Let’s
consider a grand piano and a classical guitar as representative
acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand.
With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer
inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar,
you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But
how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?
As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic
instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note)
stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is
played based on information received from the keyboard.
So then what is the information from the keyboard
that becomes the basis for note production?
For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using
the grand piano sound on the instrument. Unlike an
acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the
electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard
such as “with what voice,” “with which key,”
“about how strong,” “when was it pressed,” and “when
was it released.” Then each piece of information is
changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator.
Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator
plays the stored sampling note.
Example of Keyboard Information
Your keyboard performance and all panel operations of
this instrument are processed as MIDI data. The songs,
auto accompaniment (styles), and User songs are also
made up of MIDI data.
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument
Digital Interface and it allows different musical instruments
and devices to instantly communicate with each
other, via digital data. The MIDI standard is used all
over the world and was designed to transmit performance
data between electronic musical instruments (or
computers). Thanks to MIDI, you can control one
instrument from another and transmit performance data
between the devices-taking your creative and performance
potential to even higher levels.
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel
messages and System messages.
● Channel Messages
This instrument is capable of handling 16 MIDI channels
simultaneously – meaning it can play up to sixteen
different instruments at the same time. Channel messages
transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program
Change, for each of the 16 channels.
● System Messages
This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI
system. System messages include messages like Exclusive
Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument
manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control
the MIDI device.
What Is MIDI?
● Acoustic guitar note production
Pluck a string and the body
resonates the sound.
● Digital instrument note production
Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note
stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.

This instrument can be connected to a computer to
allow transfer of MIDI data.
Connect a standard USB cable between the instrument’s
rear-panel USB connector and the USB connector on
your computer (USB cable sold separately).
It is also necessary to install the USB driver provided on
the supplied CD-ROM on your computer. Refer to the
“Accessory CD-ROM Installation Guide” on page 70
for details.
The supplied CD-ROM also includes a Musicsoft
Downloader application that allows you to transfer song
ﬁles from your computer to the instrument’s ﬂash mem-
ory.
■ USB Precautions
Please observe the following precautions when connecting
the instrument to a computer via a USB cable.
Failure to do so can cause the instrument and/or the
computer to hang up (freeze), possibly causing corruption
or loss of data.
If the instrument or computer does hang up, turn the
power to both devices off and then on again, and restart
the computer.
These settings pertain to MIDI data transmission and reception.
■ Local ON/OFF● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Local control determines whether or not notes played on
the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator
system: the internal tone generator is active when local
control is on, and inactive when local control is off.
ON This is the normal setting in which notes played on the
instrument’s keyboard are sounded by the internal tone
generator system. Data received via the instrument’s
USB connector will also be played by the internal tone
generator.
OFF With this setting the instrument itself produces no sound
(keyboard performance, harmony, or style playback), but
the performance data is transmitted via the USB connector.
Data received via the instrument’s USB connector
will also be played by the internal tone generator.
Local control can turned on or off via the FUNCTION
Local item (page 64).
■ External Clock ON/OFF ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
These settings determine whether the instrument is synchronized
to its own internal clock (OFF), or to a clock
signal from an external device (ON).
ON The instrument’s time based functions will be synchronized
to the clock from an external device connected to
the USB connector.
OFF The instrument uses its own internal clock (default).
External clock control can turned on or off via the
FUNCTION External Clock item (page 64).

Troubleshooting
I For the DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping
sound is temporarily produced.
This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power.
When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.
Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference.
To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from
the instrument.
There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or
when a song or style is being played back.
Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear
panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is out-
put.
Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 66.)
Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does
not produce any sound.
When using the Dictionary function (page 55), the keys in the right hand area
are used only for entering the chord root and type.
• The volume is too soft.
• The sound quality is poor.
• The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play.
• The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play cor-
rectly.
• The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings
are reset.
The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new
ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.
The style or song does not play back when the [START/
STOP] button is pressed.
Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to
“External Clock” on page 66.
The style does not sound properly.
Make sure that the Style Volume (page 63) is set to an appropriate level.
Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set
the split point at an appropriate key (page 51).
Is the “ACMP ON” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press
the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.
No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/
STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number
112 or a style between 124 and 135 (Pianist).
This is not a malfunction. Style number 112 and style numbers 124 – 135
(Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will
begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard
if style playback is turned on.
Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems
to be cut off.
The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual voice
or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the same
time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the accompaniment
or song.
The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite
effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off
the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds.
The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is
properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.
The sound of the voice changes from note to note.
This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings
(samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual
sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note.
The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played.
Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on.
Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off.
The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the
[ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.
Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button ﬁrst when you are
going to use any style-related function.
There is no harmony sound.
The harmony effects (01 – 26) behave differently according to their type.
Types 01 – 05 function when style playback is on, chords are played in the
accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is played in the righthand
range.Types 06 – 26 will function whether style playback is on or off. For
types 06 = 12 you need to play two notes at the same time.

Voice List
■ Maximum Polyphony • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means that it
can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once, regardless of what
functions are used. Auto accompaniment uses a number of the available
notes, so when auto accompaniment is used the total number of
available notes for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly
reduced. The same applies to the Split Voice and Song functions. If
the maximum polyphony is exceeded, earlier played notes will be
cut off and the most recent notes have priority (last note priority).
● Panel Voice List
• The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers
for each voice. Use these program change numbers
when playing the instrument via MIDI from an external
device.
• Program Numbers 001 to 128 directly relate to MIDI
Program Change Numbers 000 to 127. That is, Program
Numbers and Program Change Numbers differ
by a value of 1. Remember to take this into consider-
ation.
• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long
decay after the notes have been released while the
sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.

Drum Kit List
• “ ” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.
• Each percussion voice uses one note.
• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example, in “115:
Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).
• Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.
• Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 … 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are designed to
be played alternately with each other.)

Effect Type List
● Harmony Types
Reverb Types
Chorus Types
No. Harmony Type Description
01 Duet Harmony types 01 – 05 are pitch-based and add one-, two- or three-note harmonies to
the single-note melody played in the right hand. These types sound when chords are
played in the auto accompaniment range of the keyboard. These Harmony types will also
work when playing songs that contain chord data.
02 Trio
03 Block
04 Country
05 Octave
06 Trill 1/4 note Types 6 – 26 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed
repeats in time with the auto accompaniment. These types sound whether the
auto accompaniment is on or not; however, the actual speed of the effect
depends on the Tempo setting (page 17). The individual note values in each
type let you synchronize the effect precisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings are
also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets, 1/12 = eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = sixteenth-note
triplets.
• The Trill effect Types (06 – 12) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when
two notes are held.
• The Tremolo effect Types (13 – 19) repeat all held notes (up to four).
• The Echo effect Types (20 – 26) create delayed repeats of each note played.
07 Trill 1/6 note
08 Trill 1/8 note
09 Trill 1/12 note
10 Trill 1/16 note
11 Trill 1/24 note
12 Trill 1/32 note
13 Tremolo 1/4 note
14 Tremolo 1/6 note
15 Tremolo 1/8 note

22 Echo 1/8 note
23 Echo 1/12 note
24 Echo 1/16 note
25 Echo 1/24 note
26 Echo 1/32 note

01 – 03 Hall 1 – 3 Concert hall reverb.
04 – 05 Room 1 – 2 Small room reverb.
06 – 07 Stage 1 – 2 Reverb for solo instruments.
08 – 09 Plate 1 – 2 Simulated steel plate reverb.
