Connecting Headphones or Optional Speaker
Since the Tyros4 has no built-in speakers, you’ll need to monitor the sound of the instrument by using external equip-
ment. Connect a set of headphones to the [PHONES] jack  or use the speaker system, such as the optional TRS-MS04 
speakers. For instructions on installing the TRS-MS04 to th e Tyros4, see page 106. For instructions on connecting other 
speakers, see page 96.
Shown here is the optional 
L-7S Keyboard Stand.
Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long periods 
of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.
CAUTION

Starting Up
This section contains information about  setting up your Tyros4 and preparing to play. Be sure to read through 
this section carefully before turning the power on. 
1Make sure the power on/off switch on the Tyros4 is 
set to off.
2Connect the supplied power cord to the AC IN termi-
nal on the instrument’s rear panel.
3Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC 
outlet.
Make sure your Tyros4 meets the voltage requirement for the coun-
try or region in which it is being used.
Before you switch your Tyros4 on or off, make sure that the MASTER 
VOLUME and MIC GAIN are set to “MIN” and the volume of any con-
nected audio equipment is turned down.
1Press the power on/off switch on the rear panel.
2Use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial to adjust the vol-
ume to an appropriate level.
Power Supply
Make sure your Tyros4 is rated for the AC voltage 
supplied in the area in  which it is to be used (as 
listed on the bottom). Connecting the unit to the 
wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the 
internal circuitry and ma y even pose a shock haz-
ard!
Use only the AC power cord supplied with the 
Tyros4. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and 
needs to be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. 
The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose 
a fire and shock hazard!
The type of AC power cord provided with the Tyros4 
may be different  depending on the  country in which 
it is purchased (a third prong may be provided for 
grounding purposes). Improper connection of the 
grounding conductor can create the risk of electri-
cal shock. Do NOT modify the plug provided with 
the Tyros4. If the plug will  not fit the outlet, have a 
proper outlet insta lled by a qualified electrician. Do 
not use a plug adapter which defeats the grounding 
conductor.
WARNING

WARNING
Turning the Power On
In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers 
or other connected electronic equipment, always 
switch on the power of the Tyros4 before switching 
on the power of the amp lified speakers or mixer 
and amplifier. Likewise, always switch off the 
power off the Tyros4 after  switching off the power of 
the amplified speakers  or mixer and amplifier.
Even when the power switch is turned off, electric-
ity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum 
level. When you are not us ing the instrument for a 
long time, make sure you unplug the power cord 
from the wall AC outlet.

Starting Up
Unfasten the lock located at the back of the display panel. Then lift the panel and tilt it toward you. The panel will click 
as you tilt in back; these clicks are the four latched posit ions. Once you’ve set it to a satisfactory position, release the 
panel. It will gently fall back to the nearest latched position.
To return the panel to its closed and locked position, gently pull it back toward you until 
the position is vertical, then push it down until it locks into place.
This determines the language used in the display for messages, file names, and character input.
