Power Requirements

Although the PSR-74 will run either from an optional AC

adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC

adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more

environmentally friendly than batteries and does not

deplete resources.

Using an AC Power Adaptor

To connect your PSR-74 to a wall socket, you will need the

optionally available Yamaha PA-3/3B/4/40 Power Adaptor.

Use of other AC adaptors could result in damage to the

instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind. Connect

one end of the adaptor to the DC IN 10-12V jack on the

rear panel of your PSR-74, and the other end to a suitable

electrical outlet.

 WARNING

Use ONLY the Yamaha PA-3/3B/4/40 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-74.

 CAUTION

Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-74, or

during electrical storms.

Using Batteries

● 

Inserting Batteries

Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery

compartment lid.  Insert six 1.5-volt size “D” batteries as

shown in the illustration, making sure that the positive and

negative terminals are properly aligned.  Replace the lid.

Accessory Jacks

Using Headphones

For private practicing and playing without disturbing

others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear

panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack.  Sound from the built-in

speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a

headphone plug into this jack.

PHONES/
OUTPUT

DC IN 10-12V

Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier
or Stereo System

After making sure the PortaTone and any external devices

are turned off, connect one end of a stereo audio cable to

the LINE IN or AUX. IN jack(s) of the other device and the

other end to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack of the PortaTone.

The Music Stand

Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot

located at the top rear of the PSR-74 control panel.

Getting Started

● 

When the Batteries Run Down

When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops

below a certain level, the PortaTone may not sound or

function properly.  As soon as this happens, replace them

with a complete set of six new batteries.

 CAUTION

Never mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries

(e.g., alkaline and manganese).

 CAUTION

To prevent possible damage from battery leakage, remove tg£

batteriT  from the instrument if it is not to be used for a long time.

● 

Auto Power OFF

The PSR-74 features an Auto Power OFF function that

automatically turns the power OFF if the instrument is not

used for approximately 30 minutes.  This functions

whether batteries or the AC power adaptor is used.
