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 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 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-6 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.
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 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.
•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.
(4)-7
•Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, 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 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.
•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 uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
■DATA BACK-UP AND STORAGE
•Yamaha recommends that you regularly save data using a floppy disk in a safe, cool, dry place. YAMAHA CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENTAL LOSS OF IMPORTANT MUSIC DATA!

Panel logos
The logos printed on the PSR-550 panel indicate standards/ formats it supports and special features it includes.
GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will play accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or synthesizer from any manufacturer.
XG
XG is a new Yamaha MIDI specification which significantly expands and improves on the GM System Level 1 standard with greater voice handling capacity, expressive control and effect capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By using the PSR-550’s XG voices, it is possible to record XG-compatible song files.
DOC
The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback compatibility with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series.
Style File Format
The Style File Format — SFF — is Yamaha’s original style file format which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. The PSR-550 uses the SFF internally, reads optional SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles using the Style Recording feature.
Music stand
The PSR-550 is supplied with a music stand that can be attached to the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control panel.

■ FOOTSWITCH jack ■ PHONES/OUTPUT jack
The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. The footswitch connected to this jack can also be set to replicate the functions of some panel buttons, doing things like starting and stopping accompaniment (page 121).
•Be sure that you do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed.
•When the sustain or sostenuto pedal functions are being used (page 121), some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the pedal is held.
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of head phones is plugged into the PHONES/OUTPUT jack.
Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.
CAUTION
•Connect the PSR-550 to external equipment only after turning off power for all devices. 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.

Setting Up
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-550 and preparing to play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before turning the power on.
Power supply connections
Although the PSR-550 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of the more environmentally safe AC adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend
to use.
CAUTION
Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor
1 Make sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of the PSR-550 is set to STANDBY.
2 Connect the AC adaptor (PA-6 or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.
3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
When turning the power OFF, simply reverse the procedure.
Using Batteries
For battery operation the PSR-550 requires six 1.5V “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced, “Battery Low” may appear on top of the display, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries.
Replace the batteries as follows:
1 Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel.
2 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.
3 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
Important Notes on Battery Use
•Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-550 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
WARNING
•Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-6 AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the PSR-550.
•Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-550, or during electrical storms.
CAUTION
•When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.
NEVER mix old and new batteries.

Pressing one of these buttons instantly calls up the relevant display for the selected function.
See the function tree chart for details (page 22).
If you’ve selected several different functions’ displays in succession, you can “retrace your steps” and revisit each display by using the [BACK] and [NEXT] buttons at the left side of the display. Of course you can also directly select the desired displays by pressing the appropriate buttons (as listed above).
How to leave the current display
As shown in the function tree chart (page 22), there is a wide varierty of functions on the PSR-550, each with its own corresponding display. In order to leave the display of each function press the [EXIT] button.
Since the PSR-550 has so many different displays, you may occasionally find yourself confused as to which operation’s display is currently shown. If this happens, you can return to “home base” by pressing the [EXIT] button several times. This returns the PSR-550 to the default display — the same display that appears when the power is turned on.

Accompaniment Sections
There are various types of Auto Accompaniment sections that allow you to vary the arrangement of the accompaniment to match the song you are playing. They are: Intro, Main A and B, Fill-in and Ending. By switching among them as you play, you can easily produce the dynamic elements of a professional-sounding arrangement in your performance.
● INTRO Section
This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the main section.
The length of the intro (in measures) differs depending on the selected style.
● MAIN Section
This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures (2 — 4 measures), and repeats indefinitely until another section’s button is pressed. There are two variations on the basic pattern, A — B, and the auto accompaniment changes harmonically based on the chords you play with your left hand.
● FILL-IN Section
The fill-in sections let you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more professional. Simply press one of the MAIN/AUTO FILL (A, B) buttons as you play, and the selected fill-in section plays automatically (AUTO FILL), spicing up the auto accompaniment. When the fill-in is finished, it leads smoothly into the selected main section (A, B).
● ENDING Section
This is used for the ending of the song. When the ending is finished, the auto accompaniment stops automatically. The length of the ending (in measures) differs depending on the selected style.

Accompaniment Track Muting
The PSR-550 has eight accompaniment tracks — RHYTHM SUB, RHYTHM MAIN, BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1 and PHRASE 2 — that you can control to modify the “orchestration” and therefore the overall sound of the accompaniment. When a style is selected, the icons corresponding to the tracks which contain data for any section of that style will light.
Individual accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by pressing the TRACK buttons (9 — 16) corresponding to the target tracks. The [M] icon will appear when a track is muted. By turning the tracks OFF and ON in different combinations, you can create various arrangements from a single accompaniment style.

● PHRASE 1, PHRASE 2
This is where the musical embellishments reside.
The PHRASE tracks are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.
Accompaniment Volume Control
This separate volume control for the auto accompaniment lets you set the optimum level balance between the accompaniment and your right hand performance.
The accompaniment volume range is from “0” (no sound) to “127” (maximum volume).

The Single Finger mode
Fingering =Singl
Single-finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the Auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. The following abbreviated chord fingerings are used:
• For a major chord, press the root key only.
• For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.
•For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.
•For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.
The Fingered 1 mode
Fingering =F1
The Fingered 1 mode lets you finger your own chords on the Auto accompaniment section of the keyboard (i.e. all keys to the left of and including the split-point key — normally F#2) while the PSR-550 supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass and chord accompaniment in the selected style.
The Fingered 1 mode recognizes the following chords:

•Notes in parentheses can be omitted.
•If you play any three adjacent keys (including black keys), the chord sound will be cancelled and only the rhythm instruments will continue playing (CHORD CANCEL function).
•Playing a single key or two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root.
•A perfect fifth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and fifth which can be used with both major and minor chords.
•The chord fingerings listed are all in “root” position, but other inversions can be used
— with the following exceptions:
m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), m7(11), 1+2+5.
•Inversion of the 7sus4 chord are not recognized if the 5th is omitted.
•The AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).
•Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

Auto Accompaniment
The Fingered 2 mode
Fingering =F2
This is essentially the same as the Fingered 1 mode, described above, except that the Fingered 2 mode additionally allows you to specify the lowest note of each chord — simply, the lowest note played in the Auto accompaniment section of the keyboard is used as the accompaniment bass note. This means you can specify “on-bass” chords in which the main bass note for the chord is not the root of the chord. For a C major chord, for example, you could use E (the third) or G (the fifth) as the bass note rather than C.
C |
C on E |
C on G |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Full Keyboard mode
Fingering =Full
When the Full Keyboard Mode is selected, the PSR-550 will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything using both hands, anywhere on the keyboard. You do not have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. The name of the detected chord will appear in the display.
•When the Full Keyboard mode is selected, the split point setting (see below) for the auto accompaniment will be ignored.
The Multi Finger mode
Fingering =Multi
This is the default accompaniment mode. The Multi Finger mode automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered 1 chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering modes.
•If you want to play minor, seventh or minor seventh chords using the Single Finger operation in the Multi Finger Mode, always press the closest white/black key(s) to the root of the chord.
Accompaniment Split Point
The point on the keyboard that separates the auto accompaniment section and the righthand section of the keyboard is called the “split point”.
The initial setting (factory setting) of the split point is “F#2”; however, this can be set to any key you wish. Refer to page 118 for instructions on how to set the split point.

The PSR-550 Multi Pads can be used to play a number of short pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences that can be used to add impact and variety to your keyboard performances. You can also record your own Multi Pad phrases as described in “Multi Pad Recording” on page 92.
Some pad phrases simply play back as programmed, while others are “chord match” types which, if the Chord Match function is turned on, are automatically transposed to match chords played using the PSR550 auto accompaniment feature.
