dle the product before actual use.
Please keep this manual in a safe and handy 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
Do not place the power cord near heat sources
such as heaters or radiators. Also, do not
excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord,
or place heavy objects on it.
Do not touch the product or the power plug during
an electrical storm.
Use only the correct voltage specified for the
product. The required voltage is printed on the
name plate of the product.
Use only the supplied or the specified AC adaptor
(page 118)/power cord. Do not use the AC
adaptor/power cord for other devices.
Check the power plug periodically and remove
any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on
it.
Insert the power plug firmly all the way into the
AC outlet. Using the product when it is not
plugged in sufficiently can cause dust to
accumulate on the plug, possibly resulting in fire
or skin burns.
When setting up the product, 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. Even when the power switch is
turned off, as long as the power cord is not
unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the product
will not be disconnected from the power source.
Do not connect the product to an electrical outlet
using a multi-plug outlet extender. Doing so can
result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause
overheating in the outlet.
When disconnecting the power plug, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the
cord can damage it and cause electric shocks or
a fire.
If not using the product for long periods of time,
be sure to pull the power plug from the AC outlet.
Do not disassemble
This product contains no user-serviceable parts.
Do not attempt to disassemble the internal parts
or modify them in any way.
Water warning
Do not expose the product to rain, use it near
water or in damp or wet conditions, or place on it
any containers (such as vases, bottles or
glasses) containing liquids which might spill into
any openings or places where water may drop. A
liquid such as water getting into the product may
cause a fire, electric shocks, or malfunctions.
Use the AC adaptor indoors only. Do not use in
any wet environments.
Never insert or remove a power plug with wet
hands.
Fire warning
Do not place any burning items or open flames
near the product, since they may cause a fire.
Wireless unit
Radio waves from this product may affect electro-
medical devices, such as a heart pacemaker
implant or defibrillator implant.
- Do not use the product near medical devices or
inside medical facilities. Radio waves from this
product may affect electro-medical devices.
- Do not use the product within 15 cm (6 in.) of
persons with a heart pacemaker implant or a
defibrillator implant.
Connections
Be sure to read the manual of the device to be
connected, and follow the instructions. Failure to
observe this may cause a fire, overheating,
explosion, or malfunction.
PRECAUTIONS
4P-525 Owner’s Manual

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:
Location
Do not place the product in an unstable position
or a location with excessive vibration, where it
might accidentally fall over and cause injury.
Do not go near the product during an earthquake.
Strong shaking during an earthquake could
cause the product to move or tip over, resulting in
damage to the product or its parts, and possibly
causing injury.
When transporting or moving the product, always
use two or more people. Attempting to lift the
product by yourself may result in injuries, such as
back injuries, or cause the product to be dropped
and broken, which could lead to other injuries.
Before moving the product, remove all connected
cables, to prevent damage to the cables or injury
to anyone who might trip over them.
Use only the stand specified for the product.
When attaching it, use the provided screws only.
Failure to do so could cause damage to the
internal components or result in the product
falling over.
Connections
Before connecting the product to other devices,
turn off the power for all devices. Before turning
the power on or off for all devices, set all volume
levels to minimum.
Be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their
minimum levels and gradually raise the volume
controls while playing the product to set the
desired listening level.
Handling
Do not insert foreign materials such as metal or
paper into any openings or gaps of the product.
Failure to observe this may cause a fire, electric
shocks, or malfunctions.
Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy
objects on the product, and do not use excessive
force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
Do not use the product or headphones 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.
Remove the power plug from the AC outlet before
cleaning the unit. Failure to observe this may
cause electric shocks.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is
not in use.
Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in
standby status (power lamp is off), electricity is still
flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
When you are not using the instrument for a long
time, make sure you unplug the power cord from
the wall AC outlet.

GM System Level 2
“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a
standard specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides
for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect
processing.
XG
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically
to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to
ensure compatibility of data well into the future.
GS
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement
of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater
expressive control over Voices and effects.
NOTICE
After removing the music rest from the instrument, do not leave it on the
instrument for long time. Doing so may cause color transference or glue to
adhere to it.

P-525 Owner’s Manual
Truly Portable electric piano,
ideal for wide variety of
applications
The P-525 digital piano is exceptionally portable—
allowing you practice it in your bedroom, or perform
with it at a party. You can enjoy it like a normal piano
when using it with the separately sold keyboard stand
(L-515) and pedal unit (LP-1). You can also enjoy
authentic live performances when using it with the
portable pedal unit (FC35).
Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer
Imperial piano samples
The P-525 features gorgeous piano sounds created with
samples of the Yamaha CFX flagship concert grand piano
and famed Vienna-made Bösendorfer* grand piano.
These piano samples bring two world’s finest and most
prominent concert grand pianos to your fingertips.
* Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.
Grand Expression Modeling
and Virtual Resonance
Modeling (VRM) — two
powerful, expressive grand
piano-like features (page 24)
“Grand Expression Modeling” technology recreates the
subtle changes in the sound that are produced by
changing your touch from when you press a key to when
you release it. The VRM technology featured in this
instrument reproduces the complicated interaction of
both string and soundboard resonance and makes the
sound more like a real acoustic piano. These two
technologies enables a wide variety of performance
expression.
GrandTouch-S™ keyboard with
real wood keys provides the feel
of an acoustic grand piano
The P-525 features white keys made from select quality
wood and fitted with the highest quality synthetic ivory,
while the black keys are finished in synthetic ebony. This
keyboard features a broad dynamic range and faithful
response to every nuance of touch that puts a wide
expanse of tone—from delicate to bold—at the pianist’s
fingertips.
Dynamic Rhythm Tracks
(page 43)
The P-525 comes complete with forty rhythm patterns
(drums and bass accompaniment) that are perfectly
suited to many types of music regularly performed on
the piano, for even greater performance potential. Simply
playing with your favorite rhythm pattern automatically
triggers and controls the drums and bass accompani-
ment, and you can enjoy the feeling of playing with a
backing band.
Convenient on-stage
performance functions
(page 92)
The P-525 also features the following useful functions for
performing on stage or in live spaces.
Sound Boost (page 37)
This helps your sound stand out when playing along with
other instruments or in noisy environments.
Panel Lock (page 40)
This allows you temporarily disable the front panel
buttons to prevent them being operated unintentionally
while performing.
Registration Memory (page 72)
This allows you to save (register) your favorite settings to
buttons on the front panel, and then instantly recall the
settings while performing.
Comprehensive compatibility
with smart devices
Connecting the P-525 with a smart device, such as a
smartphone or tablet, gives you even greater musical
enjoyment and performance control.
Powerful, convenient smart device apps
(page 81)
The P-525 is compatible with two highly convenient
apps: Smart Pianist and Rec'n'Share. Smart Pianist lets
you operate the instrument from your smart device and
even display the notation of Songs, while Rec'n'Share
enables you to film, record, and edit your performances.
Bluetooth audio function enables audio
playback from a smart device (page 79)
You can use the P-525 as an audio device, and listen to
music from your Bluetooth-equipped device, such as a
smart device, and even enjoy performing with your
favorite music.

Setting Up
Auto Power Off function
To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this instrument features an Auto
Power Off function that automatically turns the power off if the instrument is
not operated for a specified period of time. The amount of time that elapses
before the power is automatically turned off is approximately 30 minutes by
default; however, you can change the setting (page 106).
To adjust the volume, use the [VOLUME] slider located at the right of the
panel. Play the keyboard to actually produce sound while you adjust the
volume.
Adjusting the [VOLUME] slider also affects the output level of the [PHONES]
jacks (page 14) and the output level of the AUX OUT jacks (page 76).
Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)
IAC is a function which automatically adjusts and controls the sound quality
according to the overall volume of the instrument. IAC Control is effective only
on the sound output of the instrument speakers or headphones. Even when the
volume is low, this lets you hear both low sounds and high sounds clearly.
Especially when using the headphones, the burden on the ears is reduced
without raising the overall volume excessively.
You can set the IAC setting On or Off and its depth. For details, refer to “IAC”
and “IAC depth” on page 105. The default setting for this function is “On.”
Disabling Auto Power Off (simple method)
Turn the power on while holding down the lowest key on the keyboard. An
“Auto power off disabled” message appears briefly and Auto Power Off is
disabled.

Setting Up
You can connect two pairs of headphones to the [PHONES] jacks. If you are
using only one pair, insert the plug into either of these jacks.
Reproducing the Natural Sensation of Sound Distance
—Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer
This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy
exceptionally realistic, natural sound, even when listening on headphones.
Binaural Sampling (“CFX Grand” Voice only)
Binaural sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear
position of a performer and records the sound from a piano as it is. Listening to
the sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of being
immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. When
“CFX Grand” (page 110) is selected, connecting the headphones automatically
enables binaural sampling sound.
Stereophonic Optimizer (Voices in the Piano group other than
“CFX Grand”)
The Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces natural sound
distance like the sound of binaural sampling even though you hear it on
headphones. When any other Voice in the Piano group besides “CFX Grand” is
selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the Stereophonic
Optimizer.
Using Headphones
CAUTION
Do not use headphones at a
high volume for an extended
period of time. Doing so may
cause hearing loss.

This function is turned on by default. Note that when the “Speaker” setting
(page 106) is “On,” this function will always be disabled. Since these sounds are
optimized for listening with headphones, we recommend that you set this function
to “Off” in the following situations.

Using the Foot Pedal
You can switch various selected functions on/off by using the included FC3A
foot pedal connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack. Also a separately sold FC4A or
FC5 footswitch can be connected to the jack. To select the function, use the
“Aux Assign” (page 104) in the “System” menu display.
Using the Pedal Unit (sold separately)
The [PEDAL UNIT] jack is for connecting a separately sold LP-1 or FC35 pedal
unit. When connecting the LP-1 pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit
on a separately sold keyboard stand (L-515). When connecting the FC35 pedal
unit, a keyboard stand is unnecessary.

Half-pedal function
This function can be used when an included FC3A foot pedal or separately sold
LP-1 or FC-35 pedal unit (see below) is connected and it allows you to vary the
sustain length depending on how far the pedal is pressed. The farther down you
press the pedal, the more the sound sustains. You can specify the point to which
you must depress the foot pedal connected to the [AUX PEDAL] jack or the
damper pedal of the pedal unit (Half Pedal Point). To do this, press the [MENU]
button repeatedly to call up the “System” menu display: “Pedal” → “Half Pedal

Damper pedal (right pedal)
When you press the damper pedal, the notes you play
have a longer sustain. When you select a Voice in the
Piano group, pressing the damper pedal activates the
VRM (page 24) to accurately recreate the unique
resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard
and strings. This pedal features Half-pedal function.
Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press
the sostenuto pedal while holding the note(s), the
notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. All
subsequent notes will not sustain.
Soft pedal (left pedal)
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes
played while the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are
already playing when it is pressed. In order to apply this effect, play notes after
pressing the pedal.
Keep in mind that this pedal function will be changed from the Soft pedal
depending on the selected Voice (page 20). When “Jazz Organ” or “Rock
Organ” is selected, this pedal switches the Rotary Speaker speed between slow
and fast (“Rotary Speed” on page 96). When “Vibraphone” is selected, this
pedal switches Vibrato on and off (“VibeRotor” on page 96).
Assigning Functions to the Pedals
You can assign a different function to the foot pedal or footswitch connected to
the [AUX PEDAL] jack or left/center/right pedal connected to the [PEDAL

Term Description
Damper Noise Damper noise is the sound made on an acoustic piano when the damper pedal is pressed. The damper
noise changes in tone and volume depending on how quickly the damper pedal is pressed down. Pressing
the damper pedal slowly will make a quieter sound when the damper heads are released from the strings.
Pressing the damper pedal with force will transmit the vibrations to the strings, which adds a lower and
louder sound.
Duplex Scale Duplex scaling is a stringing method for pianos that uses extra, un-struck strings in the upper octaves to
enhance the tone. These strings sympathetically vibrate with other strings in an acoustic piano, resonating
with overtones, and adding richness, brilliance and complex color to the sound. Since the dampers do not
touch them, they will continue sounding even after you release your hands from the keyboard.
Grand Expression
Modeling
On an actual acoustic piano, subtle changes in the sound can be produced by changing your playing
touch from when you press a key to when you release it. For example, when you press a key all the way to
its bottom, the key hits the keybed underneath and the noise reaches the strings, changing the sound
slightly. Furthermore, the tone when the damper is lowered onto strings to mute the sound is changed by
how quickly you release the key. Grand Expression Modeling technology recreates these subtle changes in
the sound that respond to your touch. This allows you to add accents by playing strongly or add resonance
by playing softly to produce superbly expressive sound. A crisp tone can be heard when playing staccato
as well as a lingering sound produced when releasing the keys slowly.
VRM
(Virtual Resonance
Modeling)
The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) function uses sophisticated physical modeling to simulate the
actual string resonance sound that occurs when the damper pedal on a real piano is pressed or keys are
played and held. On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does
the string of the pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, each
influencing the rest and creating a rich and brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM (Virtual
Resonance Modeling) technology featured in this instrument reproduces the complicated interaction of
both string and soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual musical instrument (physical modeling),
and makes the sound more like a real acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the
moment according to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound expressively by changing
the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal.

•MIDI Song
A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual
sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what
strength—just as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator
outputs the corresponding sound. A MIDI Song uses a small amount of data capacity in comparison to an
Audio song, and allows you to easily change aspects of the sound, such as Voices used, etc.
•Audio Song
An Audio Song is a recording of the performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the same way as that used
with voice recorders, etc. This data can be played with a portable music player, etc., allowing you to easily let
other people hear your performance.

Recording Your Performance
This instrument allows you to record your performance in the following two methods.
MIDI Recording
With this method, your performances are recorded as an SMF (format 0) MIDI file and saved to the
instrument or a USB flash drive. If you want to re-record a specific section or edit parameters such as Voice,
use this method. Also you can record your performance to each Track one by one. Since a MIDI Song can
be converted to an Audio Song after recording (page 70), you may want to use MIDI recording (with
overdubbing and multiple parts) to first create a complex arrangement you would not otherwise be able to
play live, then convert it to an Audio Song. This instrument allows you to record approximately 500 KB of
data per Song.
•Audio Recording
With this method, recorded performances are saved to a USB flash drive as an Audio file. Recording is done
without designating the recorded part. Since it is saved in stereo WAV format of normal CD quality
resolution (44.1 kHz/16 bit), it can be transmitted to and played on portable music players by using a
computer. Because the audio sound input* from the external device is also recorded, you can record your
keyboard performance along with the performance sound of the connected audio device, computer, or
smart device, etc. This instrument allows you to record up to 80 minutes per single recording.
* Audio sound input (Audio input sound):
Audio data sent to this instrument from the external devices such as a computer or a smart device, etc., when connecting the instrument
with the devices via [AUX IN] jack, [USB TO HOST] terminal, wireless LAN, or Bluetooth). For connection with these devices, refer to the
“Connecting to Other Devices” section from page 74.
For details about the difference between MIDI Songs and Audio Songs, refer to page 44.
This chapter covers the following four methods. Note that the created data
format differs depending on the method, MIDI or Audio.
Quick MIDI Recording ....................................... page 55
This method lets you start recording most quickly. Your performance will be
recorded and saved to the “User” category (page 45) in this instrument’s
internal memory.
MIDI Recording — Independent Tracks ............ page 57
This lets you record the right, left and extra parts separately. Since you can
record the left part while playing back the right, this is useful for recording both
parts of a duet. Since you can record up to sixteen parts separately, record the
performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated
compositions.
MIDI Recording to the USB Flash Drive ............ page 59
This method is useful when you want to overwrite the already recorded MIDI
Song in the USB flash drive or create a New MIDI Song on the USB flash drive.
Audio Recording to the USB Flash Drive ...........page 61
This method lets you record your performance as Audio data to the USB flash
drive connected to the [ ] (USB TO DEVICE) terminal.

Recording Your Performance
With MIDI Recording, you can create a MIDI Song consisting of 16 tracks by
recording your performance to each track one by one. In recording a piano
piece, for example, you can record the right-hand part to Track 1 then record
the left-hand part to Track 2, allowing you create a complete piece which may
be difficult to play live with both hands together. To record a performance with
Rhythm playback, for example, record Rhythm playback, then record melodies
to Track 1 while listening to the already recorded Rhythm playback. In this way,
you can create an entire Song which would otherwise be difficult, or even
impossible, to play live.
1. Execute the same operations as in step 1 and step 2 on
page 55 to enter the Recording mode with a new blank
Song selected.
2. Use the [ ]/[ ] buttons to select a Recording Track.
Rhythm cannot be added to a recorded Song. When you want to record
Rhythm, make sure to record the Rhythm playback first.
When you want to record the right-hand part, highlight “R” (Track 1).
When you want to record the left-hand part, highlight “L” (Track 2).
Alternately, when you want to record your performance to Tracks 3 – 16,
call up the desired one by pressing the [ ]/[ ] buttons repeatedly.
If the Rhythm playback was recorded first before other tracks, it is
automatically recorded to one of the Tracks 9 – 11 (or all the three tracks).
If this is the case, select the desired track for recording from any except

Connecting to Other Devices
By connecting a computer or a smart device to the [USB TO HOST] terminal
via a USB cable shown in the illustration, digital audio data can be transmitted/
received. This USB Audio Interface function provides the following advantages:
Playing back audio data with high sound quality
This gives you direct, clear sound in which the sound quality has less noise
and deterioration than that from the [AUX IN] jack.
Recording performance on the instrument as audio data by
using a recording software or a music production software
The recorded audio data can be played back on the computer or smart
device.
Example:
Audio Loopback On/Off
This allows you to set whether audio sound input from the connected
computer or smart device, via the USB audio interface function, or Bluetooth
Audio (page 79) / wireless LAN (page 83) / [AUX IN] jack (page 76), is output
to a computer or a smart device or not along with the performance played on
the instrument. To output the audio input sound, set the Audio Loopback to
“On.” However, input sounds via Bluetooth Audio or [AUX IN] jack are always
output regardless of this Audio Loopback on/off setting.
For example, if you want to record the audio input sound as well as the sound
played on the instrument by using the computer or the smart device, set this to
“On.” If you intend to record only the sound played on the instrument by using
the computer or the smart device, set this to “Off.”
For details on the settings, refer to “Audio Loopback” on page 106.

About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication between devices within an area of
about 10 meters (33 ft.) employing the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
Handling Bluetooth communications
The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible devices is a radio band shared by
many types of equipment. While Bluetooth compatible devices use a technology
minimizing the influence of other components using the same radio band, such
influence may reduce the speed or distance of communications and in some cases
interrupt communications.
The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which communication is possible
differs according to the distance between the communicating devices, the presence of
obstacles, radio wave conditions and the type of equipment.
Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this unit and devices
compatible with Bluetooth function.
Before using the Bluetooth function, be sure to read “About Bluetooth” (see below).
Bluetooth capability
Depending on the country in which you
purchased the product, the instrument may not
have Bluetooth capability. If the Bluetooth logo is

musicians so that they can more clearly hear their own sound and that of the
other instruments.
Connect your footswitch/foot pedal, or pedal unit.
For details on using foot pedal/footswitch or pedal unit and the functions that
can be assigned to each pedal, refer to page 15.
Connect the instrument’s output to the PA mixer.
In order to be heard, your instrument will need to be connected to the PA
mixer’s inputs. Normally, this connection is made via a DI box (direct box)
located onstage. Connect the AUX OUT [R] and [L/L+R] jacks on the
instrument’s rear panel to the DI box inputs using commercially available
standard mono audio cables.
1 Set the [VOLUME] slider to the MIN position.
2 Check with the PA operator whether you can connect the instrument to the PA
mixer or not.
3 Connect the instrument as the following illustration.
Your instrument should now be fully connected. The next step will be to
balance your performance sounds.

NOTICE
Please read the following
before setting up.
Ensure that the instrument
is turned off before making
any connections.
Make sure to check with the
PA operator when
connecting or
disconnecting cables or
turning on/off. Failure to do
so may damage to the PA
system.
NOTE
• When playing the piano
sound of this instrument with
an external powered speaker,
and while monitoring the
sound output from this
instrument on connected
headphones, we recommend
that you set the “Binaural
Sampling” or “Stereophonic
Optimizer” functions to “OFF”
(page 14).
If only one of the DI box
channels is available for use
with your instrument, connect
it to the AUX OUT [L/L+R]
jack using a standard mono
audio cable. In this
configuration, your left and
right signals will be mixed
and output from the
instrument in mono.
If DI boxes are not being
used, connect the AUX OUT
[R] and [L/L+R] jacks to the
input jacks on the PA mixer or
an on-stage sub-mixer.

Performing Live
Sound setup
Once all of the instruments and microphones have been connected, the PA
operator will ask each musician in turn to play his or her instrument. You
should get ready as follows.
Turn on your instrument.
Set the [VOLUME] slider to the MIN position. Check with the PA operator whether you
can turn on the instrument, then press the [] (Standby/On) switch.
Check your settings.
Once turned on, ensure that your instrument is set up as follows.
- Tuned to match the other instruments (Master tuning, page 35).
- Auto Power-Off function disabled (page 13).
- Footswitch or foot pedal is operating correctly as an assigned function (page 17).
- Reverb is turned off (page 26).
Turn off the speaker sound of your instrument (page 106) as necessary.
Recall the settings saved to Registration Memory (page 72) as necessary.
Determine the optimum levels.
When asked by the PA operator to output a sound, play the digital piano as you would
when performing and determine the best settings for the following.
Volume when you are playing accompaniment
Volume when you are playing loudest, such as during a keyboard solo
Volume of each Voice to be used
Master Volume Setting
Roughly speaking, the [VOLUME] slider should be set between 5 and 7 for playing
accompaniment and to 8 or 9 when you need to play louder. If set too high, your sound
may become distorted; if too low, any background noise will be more noticeable.
Sound Boost (page 37) Setting
Turn on the Sound Boost function if you are finding it difficult to make your instrument
heard within the overall mix. Choose from three different Sound Boost types.
Master EQ (page 38) Setting
The Master EQ function may help in making the optimum sound for performing live.
Balance the overall sound of the band.
After the levels of the various instruments have been set, the PA operator will have
everyone play together in order to balance the overall sound of the band. At this time,
you should listen to the nearest monitor speaker and ensure that you can hear
everything you need to in order to play well. If, for example, you cannot hear your own
sound, the singer, or another instrument well enough, ask the PA operator to raise the
corresponding level in your monitor’s mix.
This completes the setup process. You should now be ready to play live.
Lock the front panel to prevent mistakes.
Your instrument’s Panel Lock function allows you to temporarily disable front
panel buttons to prevent them being operated unintentionally while performing.
For details on this function, refer to page 40.

Scale Tune (Setting display) Modern acoustic pianos are tuned almost exclusively in
equal temperament, which divides one octave into
twelve equal intervals. Likewise, this digital piano
employs equal temperament, but it can be changed at
the touch of a button to play in historical temperaments
used in the 16th to 19th centuries.
Equal Refer to the
“Scale Tune List”
below.
Base Note (Setting display) Determines the base note for the Scale selected above.
When the base note is changed, the pitch of the
keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch
relationship between the notes. This setting is

Equal (Temperament) One octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Currently most popular piano tuning scale.
PureMajor/PureMinor Based on natural overtones, three major chords using these scales produce a beautiful, pure sound.
Pythagorean This scale was devised by Pythagoras, the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths,
which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning is slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and
suitable for some leads.
MeanTone This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.”
It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.
Werckmeister/
Kirnberger
These scales combine Mean Tone and Pythagorean in different ways. With these scales, modulation changes the
impression and feel of the Songs. They were often used in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are also often used now
to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords.

P-525 Owner’s Manual
When a message is displayed, refer to the “Message List” (page 113) for troubleshooting aid.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
The instrument does not turn
on.
The instrument has not been plugged in properly. Securely connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN jack on the
instrument and to the AC outlet (page 12).
The power is automatically
turned off.
This is normal and due to the Auto Power Off function. If necessary, set the parameter of the Auto Power Off
function (page 13).
The message “USB device
overcurrent error” is shown
and the USB device does not
respond.
Communication with the USB device has been shut down because of the overcurrent to the USB device.
Disconnect the device from the [ ] (USB TO DEVICE) terminal, then turn on the power of the instrument.
Noise is heard from the
speakers or headphones.
The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument.
Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the instrument.
Noise is heard from the
instrument’s speakers or
headphones when using the
instrument with your smart
device, such as an iPhone/
iPad.
When you use the instrument along with your smart device, we recommend that you set that device’s “Airplane
Mode” to “ON” and then the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth setting to “ON” on your smart device in order to avoid noise caused
by communication.
The overall volume is low, or
no sound is heard.
The Master Volume is set too low; set it to an appropriate level using the [VOLUME] slider (page 13).
The volume level for the keyboard performance is set too low. Adjust the volume balance to increase the
keyboard volume via the “Song” menu display: “Volume” “Song - Keyboard” (page 52).
Headphones are connected when the Speaker setting is “Normal” (page 106). Disconnect the headphone plug.
The Speaker setting is “Off.” Set the Speaker to “Normal” or “On” via the “System” menu display: “Utility”
“Speaker” (page 106).
Local Control is “Off.” Set Local Control “On” via the “System” menu display: “MIDI” “Local Control”
(page 105).
The speakers do not switch
off when a pair of
headphones is connected to
the [PHONES] jack.
The Speaker setting is “On.” Set the speaker setting to “Normal” via the “System” menu display: “Utility”
“Speaker” (page 106).
Pedals do not function. The pedal cord may not be securely connected to the [PEDAL UNIT] jack. Be sure to insert the pedal cord all the
way until the metal part of the cord plug disappears from view.
The on/off setting of the pedal
connected to the AUX PEDAL
jack is reversed.
Some types of pedals may turn on and off in opposite fashion. Set to the appropriate parameter via the “System”
menu display: “Pedal” “Aux Polarity” (page 104).
The keyboard volume is
lower than the Song playback
volume.
The volume level for the keyboard performance is set too low. Adjust the volume balance to increase the
keyboard volume via the “Song” menu display: “Volume” “Song - Keyboard” (page 52).
The buttons do not respond. While you are using a function, some buttons not used for the function are disabled. If the Song is playing, stop
playback. Otherwise, press the [EXIT] button to return to the Voice or Song display, Then, perform the desired
operation.
Higher or lower notes do not
sound correctly when the
transpose or octave setting is
made.
This instrument can cover the range of C -2 – G8 when you set the transposition or octave. If notes lower than
C -2 are played, the sound is moved one octave higher. If notes higher than G8 are played, the sound is moved
one octave lower.
Performance in Dual/Split/
Duo mode is not recorded, or
part data is lost
unexpectedly.
Switching to Dual/Split/Duo mode in the middle of the Song is not recorded. Also, the recording part for the Voice
2 (Dual mode) or the left Voice (Split/Duo mode) is automatically assigned (page 57). If the assigned part
already has data, the data will be overwritten and deleted when you record.
Depending on the selected
Voice, the keyboard sound in
Duo mode may be output
from only one speaker.
This is because the default pan setting differs depending on the Voice.
Change the settings from the “Voice” menu “Voice Edit” “Voice name” “Pan” (page 96).
Appendix
116 P-525 Owner’s Manual
*For information on whether Bluetooth functionality is included or not, refer to page 80.
The Song title is not correct. The “Language” setting may be different than that is selected when you named the Song. Also, if the Song was
recorded on another instrument, the title might be displayed incorrectly. Set the “Language” parameter
(page 107) via the “System” menu display: “Utility” “Language” “Song” to change the setting. However, if
the Song was recorded on another instrument, changing the “Language” parameter setting may not resolve the
problem.
Menu display cannot be
called up.
When Song is being played back, menu display other than “Voice” menu and “Song” menu will not appear. Stop
the Song by pressing the [PLAY/PAUSE] button. Also, in the recording ready mode, only “Recording” menu
display will appear.

LAN is not shown in the
display even though the USB
wireless LAN adaptor is
connected.
Disconnect the USB wireless LAN adaptor and connect it again.
The Bluetooth-equipped
smart device cannot be
paired with nor connected to
the instrument.
Check the Bluetooth function of the smart device is activated. To connect the smart device and the instrument
via Bluetooth, both devices need to be functional.
The smart device and the instrument need to be paired to connect each other via Bluetooth (page 79).
In case there is a device (microwave oven, wireless LAN device, etc.) that outputs signals in the 2.4 GHz
frequency band nearby, move this instrument away from the device that is emitting radio-frequency signals.
Sound input via the [AUX IN]
jack or Bluetooth is
interrupted.
The Noise Gate function of this instrument cuts unwanted noise from the input sound. However, this may result in
wanted sounds also being cut, such as the soft decay sound of a piano. This is normal and not a sign of
malfunction.
