Quick Operation Guide
Bench
A bench may be included or optional, depending on your locale.

Maintenance.
Clean the instrument using a dry or slightly damp soft cloth (wring well).

CAUTION
Do not use benzene, thinner, detergent, or chemically-treated cloth for cleaning. Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber products on the instrument.
Otherwise, the panel or keys may become discolored or degraded.

CAUTION
Before using the YDP-123, be sure to read "Precautions" on pages 6 to 7.

Tuning.
Unlike an acoustic piano, the YDP-123 does not need to be tuned. It always stays perfectly in tune.

Transporting.
If you move to another location, you can transport the YDP-123 along with your other belongings. You can move the unit as it is (assembled) or you can disassemble the unit before moving.
Transport the keyboard horizontally. Do not lean it up against a wall or stand it up on its side. Do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock.



Features.
The Yamaha YDP-123 digital piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as Yamaha's original "AWM Stereo Sampling" tone-generation technology for rich, musical voices, and a special "Graded Hammer" keyboard that provides graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range.
The Grand Piano 1 and 2 voices feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano. The E. Piano 1 voice features a single velocity-switched sample (Dynamic Sampling) and E. Piano 2 voice features two velocity-switched sample.
The YDP-123 sounds much closer to a true acoustic piano.
