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:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
Water warning
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• 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.
• 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.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
• 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.
If you notice any abnormality
• 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.
Do not open
• 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.
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:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord.
• 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.
• When setting up the instrument, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
• 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.
• 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.
Location
• 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.

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.
Saving and backing up your data
The panel settings and some other types of data are not retained in memory when
you turn off the power to the instrument. Save data you want to keep to the
Registration Memory (page 85.)
Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation.

computer. (pages 93, 104)
Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Backing up the USB storage device/external media
• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you
save your important data onto two USB storage devices/external media.
Handling caution
• 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 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.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Special Features of the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525
Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard (DGX-620/YPG-625 Only)
Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a
keyboard with action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acous-
tic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive
to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can even be adjusted to match your playing style. This
Graded Hammer technology also enables the DGX-620/YPG-625 to provide authentic touch in a light-
weight instrument.
■ Performance assistant technology
Page 35
Play along with a song on the instrument’s keyboard and produce a perfect
performance every time ... even if you play wrong notes! All you have to do
is play on the keyboard—alternately on the left- and right-hand ranges of the
keyboard, for example—and you’ll sound like a pro as long as you play in
time with the music.
All you need is
one finger!
And if you can’t play with both hands, you can still play the melody simply
by tapping one key.
■ Play a Variety of Instrument Voices
Page 15
With the DGX-620/520, YPG-625/525, the instrument voice that sounds
when you play the keyboard can be changed to violin, flute, harp, or any of
an extensive range of voices. You can change the mood of a song written for
piano, for example, by using violin to play it instead. Experience a whole
new world of musical variety.
■ Play Along with Styles
Page 24
Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles.
The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band cov-
ering wide variety of styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance … and
much more. Select a style that matches the music you want to play, or exper-
iment with new styles to expand your musical horizons.
■ Easy Performance with Music Notation Display
Page 33
When you play back a song, the corresponding score will be shown on the
display as the song plays. This is a great way to learn how to read music. If
the song contains lyric and chord data*, the lyrics and chords will also appear
on the score display.
* No lyrics or chords will appear on the display if the song you are using with the score display func-
tion does not contain the appropriate lyric and chord data.

Playing Styles
Styles Are More Fun WhenYou Understand Chords
Chords, created by playing multiple notes at the same time, are the basis for harmonic accompaniment.
In this section we’ll take a look at sequences of different chords played one after another, or “chord
sequences.” Since each chord has it’s own unique “color”—even if it’s different fingerings of the same
chord—the chords you choose to use in your chord progressions have a huge influence on the overall
feel of the music you play.
On page 24 you learned how to play colorful accompaniments using styles. Chord progressions are vital
to creating interesting accompaniments, and with a little chord know-how you should be able to take
your accompaniments to a new level.
On these pages we’ll introduce three easy-to-use chord progressions. Be sure to try them out with the
instrument’s accompaniment styles. The style will respond to the chord progression you play, effectively
creating a complete song.

The Easy Way to Play Piano
This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature
that lets you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even
though you might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any
notes and still sound good!You could even just tap one key and the
results would be a beautiful melody. So even if you can’t play piano and
can’t read a note of music, you can have some musical fun.
Performance assistant technology offers four selectable types. Select the type that produces the best results
for you.
● Chord...................... No matter where or what you play, the result will be musical, well-bal-
anced sound. This type offers the greatest freedom, allowing you to play
anything with both your left and right hands.
● Chord/Free........... If you can play simple right-hand melodies but have trouble with left-
hand chords, this is the type for you. The Chord type applies to only the
left-hand section of the keyboard, allowing you to easily play chords to
support the melody you are playing with your right hand.
Split point
Play your own melody with the right hand.
● Melody................... This type lets you play the melody of the selected song by playing any
keys with just one finger. Start playing melodies right away, even if you’ve
never played a keyboard instrument before!
● Chord/Melody.... Play the melody of the selected song with one finger on the right-hand
section of the keyboard, and play chords on the left-hand section of the
keyboard using the Chord type.

Chord Basics
Two or more notes played together constitute a “chord”.
The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the
root, third, and fifth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad,
for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the
C major scale), and G (the fifth note of the C major scale).
3rd
3rd
Root
In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the
chord (this is the chord’s “root position” ... using other chord notes for
the lowest note results in “inversions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and
anchors the other chord notes.
The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third.
Major third–four half steps (semitones)
Minor third–three half steps (semitones)
The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad
is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two addi-
tional chords, as shown below.

The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create
different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by
choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord “voicings”).
● Reading Chord Names
Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord
(other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the

chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a

NOTE
NOTE
• Notes in parentheses can be omitted.
• Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11) chords are not recognized if the
notes shown in parentheses are omitted.
• Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompa-
niment based only on the root.
• The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related
chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the
minor seventh).
• A perfect fifth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root
and fifth which can be used with both major and minor chords.
• Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played
chord.
• The chord fingerings listed are all in “root” position, but other inversions
can be used—with the following exceptions: m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4,
aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), sus2.

Playing Styles Using the Entire Keyboard
In “Play Along with a Style” on page 24 we described a method of playing styles in which chords were
detected only to the left of the keyboard split point. By making the settings described below, however,
chord detection for style accompaniment occurs over the entire range of the keyboard, allowing for even
more dynamic style performance. In this mode only chords played in the normal way (page 28) can be
detected.

To call up possible inversions of the chord,
press the [+]/[-] buttons.
NOTE
• About major chords: Simple major chords are usually indicated only
by the root note. For example, “C” refers to C major. However, when
specifying major chords here, make sure to select “M” (major) after
pressing the root note.
• Be aware that the chord types explained here are the left-hand
notes applied to various styles and different from the one for the per-
formance assistant technology feature.
Try playing a chord in the auto accom-
paniment section of the keyboard,
checking the indications in the display.
When you’ve played the chord properly,
a bell sound signals your success and
the chord name in the display flash.

Using USB Flash Memory
USB flash memory is a memory medium used for storing data.
When a USB flash memory is inserted in this instrument’s USB TO DEVICE terminal,
user songs created on the instrument and the registered settings can be saved to or
loaded from the memory medium. USB flash memory can also be used to transfer song
data downloaded from the Internet to the instrument, where it can be used with the per-
the Quick Guide. Furthermore, user songs saved to USB flash memory in MIDI file for-
mat can also be used with these features.
In this section we’ll look at the procedures for setting up and formatting USB flash
memory devices, as well as for saving and loading data to and from them.
If you don’t have a USB flash memory, you will need to purchase one (or more, as
needed).
The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage
devices.Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase.
Before purchasing USB storage devices, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an
authorized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice.
USB Flash Memory
Before using a USB device, read through the “Precautions when using the USB TO DEVICE terminal” sec-
tion on page 99. For information about USB devices compatible with the instrument, see “Connection to a
● To protect your data (write-protect switch)
Some USB flash memory devices are equipped with a write-protect switch. To prevent accidental era-
sure of important data saved in USB flash memory, slide the write-protect switch on the device to the
“protect” position. When saving data, make sure that the write-protect switch is set to the “overwrite”
position.

A USB storage device, such as a floppy disk drive,
hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, flash memory,
reader/writer, etc., can be connected to the USB
TO DEVICE terminal. Other USB devices such as
a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used.
Before purchasing USB storage devices, please
consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized
Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s
Manual) for advice.
CAUTION
• Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage
device, or connecting/disconnecting the cable too often. Doing so
may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or hang-
ing up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the
Save and Delete operations), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do
NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the
power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either
or both devices.
CAUTION
• Some USB memory devices may require more current than the
instrument can supply, causing the instrument’s over-current pro-
tection function to be activated and making it impossible to use
the device. If this occurs “OverCurrent” will appear in the upper
area of the MAIN display.To restore normal operation remove the
USB device from the USB TO DEVICE connector and turn the
instrument’s power off and then back on again.

This is not a malfunction. Style number 121 and style numbers 133–

The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the
Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing
back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “sto-
len”) from the accompaniment or song.
Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound
seems to be cut off.
The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the
opposite effect. For example, pressing the foot-
switch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains
the sounds.
The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the foot-
switch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning
on the power.
This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple
recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the key-
board; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different
from note to note.
The sound of the voice changes from note to note.
The Demo display is shown in Japanese, and/or
there are Japanese characters in the display mes-
sages.
Make sure the Language setting in the FUNCTION display is set to
English. (See page 14)

Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
The appropriate display does not appear when the
[SONG], [EASY SONG ARRANGER], [STYLE], or
[VOICE] button is pressed.
Is another display showing? Try pressing the [EXIT] button to return
to the MAIN display, and then pressing one of the mentioned buttons.
The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is
played.
Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on.
Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off.
The ACMP indicator does not appear when the
[ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.
Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button first when
you are going to use any style-related function.
The harmony effects (01–26) behave differently according to their
type. Types 01–05 function when style playback is on, chords are
played in the accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is
played in the right-hand range. Types 06–26 will function whether
style playback is on or off. For types 06–12 you need to play two
notes at the same time.
There is no harmony sound.

• Always place the stand on a flat, stable surface. Placing the stand on uneven surfaces may cause it to
become unstable or overturn, the keyboard to drop, or injury.
• Do not use the stand for anything other than its designed purpose. Placing other objects on the stand may
result in the object dropping or the stand overturning.
• Do not apply excessive force to the keyboard as it may cause the stand to overturn or the keyboard to
drop.

Voice List
■ Maximum Polyphony
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
NOTE
The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means
that it can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once, regard-
less of what functions are used. Auto accompaniment uses a
number of the available notes, so when auto accompaniment
is used the total number of available notes for playing on the
keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the
Split Voice and Song functions. If the maximum polyphony is
exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off and the most
recent notes have priority (last note priority).
• The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for
each voice. Use these program change numbers when
playing the instrument via MIDI from an external device.
• Program Numbers 001 to 128 directly relate to MIDI Pro-
gram Change Numbers 000 to 127.That is, Program Num-
bers and Program Change Numbers differ by a value of 1.
Remember to take this into consideration.
• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long
decay after the notes have been released while the sus-
tain pedal (footswitch) is held.

Drum Kit List
• “
” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.
• Each percussion voice uses one note.
• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example,
in “128: Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).
• Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.
• Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 ... 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are
designed to be played alternately with each other.)
Voice No.

ting (page 46). The individual note values in each type let you synchronize the effect
precisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings are also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets,
1/12 = eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = sixteenth-note triplets.
• The Trill effect Types (06–12) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two
notes are held.
• The Tremolo effect Types (13–19) repeat all held notes (up to four).
• The Echo effect Types (20–26) create delayed repeats of each note played.
