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, fire 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-5D 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 qualified 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 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 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 qualified 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.
• 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 disfiguration 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.
• 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 qualified
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.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, 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.

Before Using the P-60
ENGLISH
11
Using the [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack
Connect a pair of headphones here.
When a pair of headphones is connected to this jack, the P-60’s internal
speakers will turn off automatically. This is helpful for private practice or
late night playing.
Though the P-60 is equipped with a built-in speaker system, you can also
play it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the
P-60 and any external devices are turned off. Then, 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 rear panel
[PHONES/OUTPUT]
jack on the P-60.
CAUTION
Do not use the P-60 at a high volume level for a long period of time, or
your hearing may be damaged.
CAUTION
Connect the P-60 to external equipment only after turning off power for
all devices.
Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage.
To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting
them.
Using the [SUSTAIN PEDAL] jack
This jack is for connecting a supplied foot switch or an optional
foot pedal to the P-60.
When you press the foot switch or the foot pedal, the notes you
play have a longer sustain.
The supplied foot switch is an on/off switch for sustain.
For the optional foot pedal FC3, the further down the pedal is
pressed, the longer the sound will be sustained (can be used like
a half pedal effect).
Using the MIDI connectors
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as a
MIDI sequencer) which can be used to control the P-60. The MIDI OUT connector
transmits MIDI data generated by the P-60 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by
playing the P-60 keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “About MIDI” on page 22.
NOTE
Connect or disconnect the foot switch or the foot pedal
when the power is off.
NOTE
Do not turn on the power to the unit while pressing the
foot switch or foot pedal. Otherwise, the switch or
pedal polarity (on/off) will be reversed.

Combining Two Voices (Dual mode)
You can play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you
can simulate a melody duet or combine two similar voices to create a thicker sound.
1. Engage Dual mode.
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press two of the C1–A1 keys at simul-
taneously (or press one key while holding another).
Refer to the voice list on page 18 for available voices.
According to the voice priority shown in the voice list (page 18), the voice
assigned to the lower keyboard will be designated as Voice 1 (the other voice will
be designated as Voice 2).
You can make the following settings only in Dual mode:
Setting the Octave
You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for Voice 1 and Voice 2 inde-
pendently. Depending on which voices you combine in Dual mode, the combi-
nation may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave.
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the C5–F5 keys.
Setting the Balance
You can set one voice as the main voice, and another voice as a softer, mixed voice.
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the F
5–F
6 keys.
A setting of “0” produces an equal balance between the two Dual mode voices.
Settings below “0” increases the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Voice 1, and set-
tings above “0” increases the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.
2. Exit Dual mode and return to normal play mode.
While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the C1–A1 keys.
Procedure
NOTE
You cannot assign the same
voice to Voice 1 and Voice 2
simultaneously in Dual mode.
TIP
Reverb in Dual Mode
The reverb type assigned to
Voice 1 will take priority over the
other. (If the reverb is set to
OFF, Voice 2 reverb type will be
in effect.) Reverb depth setting
(

) will be applied only to
Voice 1.
