Music Cartridge (PSR-230)
The PSR-230 features a cartridge slot for use with special Yamaha Music Cartridges containing accompaniment
Style and Song data. These Cartridges give you instant access to an ever-expanding library of new Styles and
Songs. The PSR-230 includes a sample Music Cartridge. To obtain other Cartridges, see your Yamaha dealer.
Inserting a Music Cartridge
With the power off, insert the Music Cartridge into the cartridge slot as shown, and press down firmly until the
Cartridge is seated properly (as shown in the illustration). The Cartridge is shaped so that it will only fit in the slot
one way - don’t try to force it in the wrong way. Turn the power back on again after inserting.
Music Cartridge Precautions
• Do not leave Music Cartridges in locations which are subject to excessive heat or humidity.
• Do not drop Music Cartridges or subject them to strong shock.
• Do not disassemble Music Cartridges.
• Do not directly touch the Music Cartridge’s electrical contacts. Static electricity can cause loss of data
and unreliable operation.
• Do not insert objects or cartridges other than Yamaha Music Cartridges in the cartridge slot. Doing so
can result in serious damage to the instrument.
• Do not insert Music Cartridges in other instruments or devices. Doing so can result in serious damage
to the Cartridges.
• Never attempt to insert or remove a Music Cartridge when the power is on. Doing so may result in
loss of data or unreliable operation.
• Dust or foreign particles on the electrical contacts of the Music Cartridge may prevent proper selection
or playback of Cartridge data. If this occurs, insert and remove the Cartridge several times, and try the
operation again. If the problem persists, clean the electrical contacts with a soft, dry cloth.
• Make sure that the Music Cartridge is properly inserted when playing back a Song based on Cartridge data.
Otherwise, the Song may not play back, and a “No Cart” or “WrongCrt” message may appear.
The triangular mark on the front of the
Cartridge should be completely below the panel
edge when the Cartridge is properly seated.
For Cartridges without the mark, the bottom of the
serrated edges of the Cartridge should be even with the
panel edge (not above it).
