Using Music Cartridges

The PSR-530 features a cartridge slot which accepts pre-programmed Yamaha Music Cartridges containing style and/or song data. One sample Music Cartridge containing song data is supplied with the PSR-530. Others are available from 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.

For Cartridges without the mark, the bottom of the serrated edges of the Cartridge should be even with the panel edge (not above it).

The triangular mark on the front of the Cartridge should be completely below the panel edge when the Cartridge is properly seated.

◆Music Cartridge Handling Precautions

•Do not leave Music Cartridges in lo- cations which are subject to exces- sive heat or humidity.

•Do not drop Music Cartridges or sub- ject them to strong shock.

•Do not disassemble Music Cartridges.

•Do not directly touch the Music Cartridge’s electrical contacts. Per- sistently touching it may cause to break electrical contacts or generate static electricity. Static electric charges can cause loss of data and unreliable operation.

•Do not insert objects or cartridges other than Yamaha Music Cartridges in the PortaTone cartridge slot. Doing so can result in serious damage to the instrument.

•Never attempt to insert or remove a cartridge when the STAND BY/ON switch is ON. Doing so can result in loss of the PSR-530 memory data (song data/registration memory data) or complete lack of control.

•The Music Cartridge data may not be selected or played back correctly, if the electrical contacts on the Music Cartridge are affected with dust. If this happens, insert and remove the Music Cartridge several times. This may solve the problem. If the prob- lem still happens, wipe and clean the electrical contacts on the Music Car- tridge with a dry soft cloth.

•Be sure to insert the Music Cartridge when you recall the registra- tion settings based on the cartridge data or playback the song based on the cartridge data. Otherwise, “No Cart (Cartridge)” will appear on the display.
