Setting Up the PSR-A1000 Power Supply 1 Make sure that the PSR-A1000's STANDBY/ON switch is at the STANDBY (off) position. 2 Connect one end of the AC cable to the PA-300. 3 Connect the PA-300's DC plug to the PSR-A1000's DC IN terminal on the instrument's rear panel. Power-on Procedure When you have made all the necessary connections (page 136) between your PSR-A1000 and any other devices, make sure that all volume settings are turned down all the way to zero. Then turn on every device in your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI slaves (receivers), then the audio equipment (mixers, amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures smooth MIDI operation and prevents speaker damage. When powering down the setup, first turn down the volume for each audio device, then switch off each device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then MIDI). DC IN To electrical outlet 4 Connect the other end (normal AC plug) to the nearest electrical outlet. WARNING Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the Yamaha PA300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha. The use of an incompatible adaptor may cause irreparable damage to the PSRA1000, and may even pose a serious shock hazard! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET WHEN THE PSR-A1000 IS NOT IN USE. CAUTION Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-A1000 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data. CAUTION Even when the switch is in the "STANDBY" position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at a minimum level. When not using the PSR-A1000 for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet. MIDI master (transmitting device) POWER ON!!
