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, re 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-3B, 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 qualied 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 re.
• 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 qualied 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.
• 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.
• 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 disguration or damage to the internal
components.
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or
radio may generate noise.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
• 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. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug
the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by
qualied Yamaha service personnel.
• 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.
• 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.
Saving and backing up your data
• The panel settings and some other types of data will be lost if the power is
turned off before they are saved. Be sure to save data you want to keep to the
internal Flash Memory (page 33) before turning off the power. Saved data may
be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save the important data to
your computer. For information on sending the data, see page 67.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
When using a power adaptor, even when the power 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 AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

6PSR-A300 Owner’s Manual
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing
the Yamaha PSR-A300 PORTATONE!
Please read this owner’s manual carefully before using the instrument
in order to take full advantage of its various features.
Make sure to keep this manual in a safe and handy place even after you nish reading,
and refer to it often when you need to better understand an operation or function.
GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compat-
ible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of
manufacturer. The GM mark is afxed to all software and hardware products that support GM
System Level.

ation format. Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator.
However, keep in mind that some songs may play back differently compared to the original
data, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.
Stereo Sampled Piano
The instrument has a special Portable Grand Piano Voice—created by state-of-the-art stereo
sampling technology and using Yamaha’s sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave memory) tone
generation system.
Yamaha Education Suite 5
The instrument features the new Yamaha Education Suite—a set of learning tools that utilize
the latest technology to make studying and practicing music more fun and fullling than ever
before!

The Oriental Scales feature lets you simply and easily raise or lower the pitches of specic notes
and create your own scales. You can change the scale settings at any time-even when you are
playing. Up to four scale settings can be stored for instant recall, whenever you need them.
The ORIENTAL SCALE [SETTING] buttons, located at the top left side of the panel, simulate a
one-octave keyboard (C through B). Pressing each button turns the Scale Setting feature of the
specic note on/off. The Scale Setting feature affects all the notes having the same note name in
all octave registers. When this is set to on (the indicator above the selected button is lit), you can
play the keyboard in the Oriental scale. The default scale setting (tuning) for each note is -50
cents. You can also adjust the scale tuning by 1 cent as follows.
Call up the Scale Tuning function by pressing and holding the
desired “note” button (C-B) in the Scale Tuning section for longer
than a second.
Adjust the Scale Tuning.
Use the [+]/[-] or number buttons to adjust the desired tuning.
The range is from “-64” to “63” cents (one cent is one hundredth

Play with the Pitch
Bend Wheel
The [PITCH BEND] wheel can be used to add smooth pitch variations to notes you play on the
keyboard.
Roll the wheel upward to raise the pitch, or downward to lower the pitch. When you release the
wheel it will automatically return to center position and the keyboard pitch will return to normal.
The range of the pitch bend wheel can be adjusted in semitone increments. When the pitch bend
range is set to “2,” for example, rolling the wheel all the way up will produce a maximum pitch rise
of 2 semitones (one whole tone), and rolling it all the way down will produce a maximum pitch drop
of the same amount (2 semitones or one whole tone). With the highest possible pitch bend range
setting of “12,” the pitch bend range becomes +/-1 octave.
Press the [FUNCTION] button a number of times until “PBRange”
