OWNER’S

MANUAL

p

Congratulations

Congratulations

on

becoming

an

owner

of

the

Yamaha

CE25

Combo

Ensemble.

Despite

its

light

weight

and

compact

size,

the

CE25

offers

remarkably

natural,

“acoustic”

sound

through

the

use

of

advanced

FM

tone

generator

technology.

The

CE25

is

ideal

not

only

for

the

professional

keyboard

player,

but

also

for

use

at

home

as

the

family

keyboard.

Please

be

sure

to

read

this

manual

thoroughly

in

order

to

gain

maximum

performance

and

enjoyment

from

your

CE25

Combo

Ensemble.

Precautions

LOCATION

CONNECTION

Avoid

placing

your

CE25

Combo

Ensemble

in

direct

sunlight

or

close

to

a

source

of

heat.

It is

also

important

to

avoid

locations

in

which

the

instrument

is

likely

to

be

subjected

to

vibration,

excessive

dust,

cold

or

moisture.

Be

sure

to

unplug

your

CE25

Combo

Ensemble

if

you

will

not

be

using

it

for

an

extended

period

of

time.

HANDLING

Avoid

applying

excessive

force

to

the

instrument's

knobs

and

switches.

POWER

CORD

Always

grip

the

power

plug

directly

when

unplugging.

Removing

the

power

plug

from

the

wall

socket

by

pul-

ling

on

the

power

cord

can

result

in

damage

to

or

shorting

of

the

power

cord.

Be

sure

to

unplug

your

CE25

Combo

Ensemble

if

you

will

not

be

using

it

for

an

extended

period

of

time.

RELOCATION

When

moving

the

CE25

Combo

Ensemble

once

it

has

been

set

up,

be

sure

to

disconnect

all

cords

that

connect

the

instrument

to

other

equipment.

This

will

help

to

prevent

accidental

damage

to

or

shorting

of

intercon-

nection

cables.

Follow

the

“CONNECTION”

instructions

given

in

this

manual

carefully

when

setting

up

your

CE25

Combo

Ensemble.

Connection

errors

can

lead

to

serious

damage

to

the

instrument,

amplifier

and

speakers.

CLEANING

Do

not

use

solvents

such

as

benzine

or

thinner

to

clean

your

CE25

Combo

Ensemble,

as

these

may

cause

discoloration

or

staining

of

the

instrument's

exterior.

Use

a

soft,

dry

cloth.

In

words,

each

up

of

of

frequencies.

FM

{frequency

is

familiar

to

most

in

the

form

of

FM

radio

broadcasts.

The

vibrato

effect

in

music

is

also

actually

a

result

of

frequency

modulation.

The

FM

tone

generator

applies

fre

technology

to

the

audible

frequency

range

to

generate

music

waveforms

containing

many

discreet

frequency

components,

the

individual

levels

of

which

vary

throughout

the

duration

of

a

note.

The

result

is

remarkably

“natural”

sounds

closely

approach

the

timbre

of

conventional

instruments.

The

FM

generator

has

made

it

possible

to

create

new,

delicately

natural

voices

that

were

un

(i.
