WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibilit\ y of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precaut\ ions 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 (page 68) 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 m\ ay have accumulated on it. • Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or ra\ diators, 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 we\ t conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spi\ ll into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, tur\ n off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then hav\ e 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 sme\ lls 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 ins\ pected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

P-155 Owner’s Manual ENGLISH 6 Introd uction Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Digital Piano! We recommend that you read this manual carefully so that you can fully take advantage of the advanced and convenient functions. We also recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference. M ain Features Graded Hammer Effect Keyboard Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard with action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can ev en be adjusted to match your playing style. A WM Dynamic Stereo Sampling This digital piano offers a rich and versatile range of sounds, which are created using Yamaha’s proprietary sampling to ne-generation system, “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling.” A WM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system that creates sounds close to those of an acoustic instrument by digitally recording the sounds of an instrument and applying high-quality digital filtering technology to the recorded audio samples. The sound waveform created by an acoustic piano differs depending on the player’s strength of touch, from pianissimo to fortissimo. A WM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can create extremely dynamic nuances by recording samples at various playing strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the greater the resulting expressiveness of the instrument. The piano voice “Grand Piano 1” features a totally new sample recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. Each note in the sample has been adjusted meticulously so that the digital piano will play only the very best piano sounds. The piano voices are well-separated sounds featuring a fast attack and a satisfying response. The “Grand Piano 1” voice features multiple wave samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling). That is, differ- ent samples are used depending on how fast or strong the player strikes the keys. Therefore, this voice expresses detailed dynamics and sounds much closer to those of a true acoustic piano. The instrument creates a rich, luxurious sound using “Sustain Sampling,” which is a sample of the soundboard and the r esonance of the strings when the damper pedal is pressed. The instrument also features “Key-off Sampling,” which is a sample of the very delicate noises that are caused when keys are released.
