PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this man ual in a safe and handy place for f utu re reference.
 WARNING
Always follow the basic precauti ons listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even deat h from electrical shock, short-
circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precauti ons include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also, do not 
excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on it.
• 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 53) 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.
• This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument or attempt to  disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. 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, place on it 
any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses)  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.
• When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch and  disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. Then have the device inspected by Yamaha service 
personnel.
- The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged.
- It emits unusual smells or smoke.
- Some object has been dropped into the instrument.
- There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument.
 CAUTION
Always follow the basic pr ecautions listed below to avoid the  possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the  instrument 
or other property. These precautions incl ude, but are not limited to, the following:
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical  outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can 
result in lower sound quality, or possi bly cause overheating in the outlet.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself  and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended  periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or  injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• 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 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.
• 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 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. 
This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, 
or operational failure.
• 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.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. 
Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in  standby status (display is off), 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 power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Main Feat ures
Exquisite sound of a concert gr and piano faithfully reproduced  by the Pure CF Sound Engine
In order to give the P-255 the best possible piano sound, we started by selecting the one Yamaha 
concert grand piano with the highest  quality tone and acoustic properties. Expert tuners then pains-
takingly ensured that the selected piano was pe rfectly pitched, and finally, our Pure CF Sound 
Engine technology was employed to meticulously sample the full lifespan of every single note.
Graded Hammer keyboa rd with synthetic ivory key tops for an authentic feel
Developed with the aim of reproducing the sensat ion of playing a real grand piano, the Graded 
Hammer (GH) keyboard features na turally weighted keys, with those in the low range feeling 
heavier than those in the high range. As a result , the keyboard feels perfectly balanced over its 
complete length. What’s more, the synthetic ivory  finish applied to the white keys has excellent 
moisture absorption characteristi cs, meaning that you can play in comfort for as long as you want 
without fear of the keys becoming slippery.  
Ten different rhythm  tracks built in
Playing the keyboard along with one  of the ten basic rhythm tracks built into  your P-255 is a great 
way to add spice to your performances, and as suc h, these automatic rhythms make playing more 
fun. Featuring a range of different patterns from  jazz, popular music, and the like, the digital 
piano’s rhythm tracks are sure to  include what you are looking for. 
Live Music Toolbox for performing on-stage
Collectively known as the Live Music Toolbox, the  P-255 features a number of functions that 
come in handy when performing on stage. For example, you can use Sound Boost to make the 
instrument sound louder and enha nce its presence (page 18), and the Panel Lock function deacti-
vates buttons on the control panel so you won’t  have to worry about pressing them by mistake 
while playing (page 18). Meanwhile, you can also turn  off the built-in speakers when alternatives 
are provided on-stage (page 44). With these tools at your disposal, it  is easier to set up your digital 
piano on-stage and performing becomes much more enjoyable. 
Operate the instrument using  P-255 Controller on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod
With the specially developed app  P-255 Controller running on your iPad,  iPhone, or iPod, you can 
remotely control your digital piano for even more  convenience and flexibility. By presenting vari-
ous parameters on-screen, this app  allows you to make settings in a visual, more intuitive manner.

Disabling the Auto Power-Off function
To disable the Auto Power-Off function, either set the

Turning on the instrument
• Be sure to use only the correct power adaptor (page 
53). Other adaptors may damage the instrument, cause 
it to overheat, or create a fire hazard. 
• Be sure to use a power supply at the correct voltage. 
• Be sure to unplug the power adaptor from the AC wall  socket during electrical storms or if the instrument is 
not to be used for an extended period of time. 
• The digital piano remains charged and draws a small  amount of power even when turned off. Be sure, therefore, 
to unplug the power adaptor from the AC wall socket if it 
is not to be used for an extended period of time. 
• Carry out the above procedure in reverse when disconnecting the power adaptor. 
If you are going to use your instrument in a live 
music situation such as on-stage, please read 
the section Performing Live (page 36).

NOTE
Auto Power-Off
• Before the Auto Power-Off function turns off the instrument, unsaved data 
will be automatically backed up. See page 46 for details of the data backed 
up at this time. 
• In certain modes of operation, the Auto Power-Off func- tion will not turn off the digital piano when the set time 
has elapsed. We recommend, therefore, that you 
always turn off the instrument manually when you are 
finished using it. 
• If your digital piano is connected to other equipment  such as amplifiers, speakers, or a computer but you do 
not intend to use it for some time, we recommend that 
you turn off all devices as described in their owner’s 
manuals. Doing so eliminates the risk of damage to the 
other equipment. If you do not want the instrument to 
turn off automatically when connected to other equip-
ment, disable the Auto Power-Off function. 
If you are going to use your instrument in a live music 
situation such as on-stage, we recommend that you 
disable the Auto Power-Off function. (See page 37, 39.)
