SPECIAL MESSAGE SECTION
Rear Panel
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not
place vinyl or plastic objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel.
Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do
not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
Do not place objects in front of the instrument's air vent, since this may
prevent adequate ventilation of the internal components, and possibly result
in the instrument overheating. To ensure adequate ventilation and cooling,
leave at least 10cm of open space behind the A3000 rear panel, and at least
4cm of open space above the top cover.
Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-
fortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
SAVING USER DATA
To protect against data loss caused by malfunction or operating error, be sure
to save your data regularly to floppy disk, hard disk or other storage medium.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modi-
fications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disas-
semble or modify the internal components in any way.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill
into any openings.
If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden
loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or
smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power
switch, disconnect the electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
Always connect the three-pin attachment plug to a properly grounded power
source. (For more information about the main power supply, see “Connect-
ing the Power.)
Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may
have accumulated on it.
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:
Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy
objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,
or roll anything over it.
When removing the electric plug from an outlet, always hold the plug itself
and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-con-
nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause over-
heating in the outlet.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be
used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off
the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum.
Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or
heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent
the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions,
radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect
proper operation of the other products.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acciden-
tally fall over.
Handling and Installation of Options
CAUTION
Before handling an option board, hard disk, or SIMM, you should briefly touch
the A3000 metal casing (or other such metallic area) with your bare hand so as
to drain off any static charge from your body. Note that even a slight amount of
electrostatic discharge may cause damage to these components.
It is recommended that you wear gloves to protect your hands from metallic
projections on the A3000, hard disk, SIMMs, option boards, and other com-
ponents. Touching leads or connectors with bare hands may cause finger
cuts, and may also result in poor electrical contact or electrostatic damage.
Take care to avoid dropping screws into the A3000 unit. If a screw does
fall in, be sure to remove it before you reassemble and power up the unit.
Starting the unit with a loose screw inside may lead to improper opera-
tion or equipment failure. (If you are unable to retrieve a dropped screw,
consult your Yamaha dealer for advice.)
WARNING
• Before beginning installation, switch off the power to the A3000 and
connected peripherals, and unplug them from the power outlet. Then
remove all cables connecting the A3000 to other devices. (Leaving the
power cord connected while working can result in electric shock. Leav-
ing other cables connected can interfere with work.)
Do not disassemble, modify, or apply excessive force to board areas and
connectors on option boards, hard disk, and SIMMs. Bending or tam-
pering with boards and connectors may lead to electric shock, fire, or
equipment failures.
* Consult your Yamaha dealer if you have any questions regarding installation procedures for options boards, hard disks, SIMMs, or other optional devices.
* If SIMM memory, hard disk, or other optional component fails to work properly, consult the item's dealer for advice.
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:

Panel and Connector Arrangement
Front Panel (Left Side)
(1) MASTER VOL (Master Volume)
Adjusts the output level at the STEREO OUT connectors only. This knob does not affect
the output level at the ASSIGNABLE OUT connectors, or at the various connectors
provided on the optional I/O expansion board (AIEB1 board).
Panel and Connector Arrangement

(2) REC VOL (Recording Volume)
Adjusts the input level from the front panel’s INPUT L and INPUT R jacks. Use the knob
to adjust the level when recording a sample, or when passing an input signal directly
through the A3000 outputs for realtime output (“A/D In” feature).
This knob does not affect the input level to the DIGITAL IN and OPTICAL IN connectors
on the optional I/O expansion board (AIEB1 board).
(3) PHONES jack
Connects to a set of stereo headphones. The PHONES jack always produces the same
signal as the STEREO OUT jacks. Note that headphone impedance should be between
16 and 150 ohms.
(4) INPUT L, INPUT R jacks
Use these jacks to input an analog signal for recording, or for realtime output (“A/D In”
feature). Use the INPUT L jack if you are supplying a monaural signal.
(5) Display
The display indicates the status and settings for the currently selected function, and
presents messages and confirmation prompts. When you are working at a parameter-
setting page, the top line of the display indicates the parameter names, while the bot-
tom line shows the current values. The names and values appear directly over the knobs
that you use to make the settings.
(6) Knob “push” lamps
The lamp above the knob lights up to indicate that the knob can be pushed to execute
some action. If the lamp is off, pushing the knob has no effect.
(7) Knobs
You use the knobs to set the various parameter values, to switch display pages, and
execute operations. In most cases you turn the knob to set a value, and push the knob to
execute an operation — for example, to start or stop recording. Knobs are numbered 1
to 5.

among its functions by pressing the appropriate function keys.
(The A3000 also uses the button lamps to let you know that it is receiving MIDI data.
Each lamp corresponds to a different MIDI data type, and will continue to blink while
the A3000 is receiving MIDI data of that type. (92))

(4) ASSIGNABLE key
You can assign this key any of four different functions. You can set it to operate as a
damp key (so that it switches all sound off), as a controller reset button, or as a toggle
for the knob-controller feature (knobs act as controllers) or the function-key playback
feature (function keys act as MIDI keys). (91)
(5) AUDITION key
Press the key to play out the currently selected sample. You use this feature to check the
sound of the sample while editing.
(6) Floppy-disk drive
Accepts a 3.5-inch floppy disk. You can use floppy disks to save and reload your data
(programs, samples, sequences, and system settings).
Note that there is an access lamp at the lower left of the drive. The lamp lights up while
the disk is being accessed. Please do not eject the floppy-disk while this lamp is on.
To eject a disk, press the EJECT button at the lower right of the drive.
(7) POWER switch
Press once to switch the power on. Press again to turn the power off.
Important
The A3000 stores all new data into main memory only, and will lose all of this data when
you switch off the power. You must therefore be sure to save all important data to disk
before turning the A3000 off.
Panel and Connector Arrangement
12
Rear Panel
(1) AC inlet
Connects to the AC power cord supplied with the A3000. (Please do not use any other
power cord with this unit.)
(2) MIDI connectors
These connectors link the A3000 to external MIDI devices. The MIDI IN connector re-
ceives MIDI signals, while the MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by
the A3000. The MIDI THRU connector relays the MIDI signals received at the MIDI IN
connector.
(3) ASSIGNABLE OUT jacks
Analog output jacks. These jacks operate independently of the STEREO OUT jacks. You
can use these jacks to output the sound of one or more selected samples, or to output
the signal supplied through the front panel’s analog input connectors (134, 176). You
may also set them so that they output the same signal as the STEREO OUT jacks (299).
(4) STEREO OUT jacks
These are the main analog output jacks.
(5) SCSI connector
This is a half-pitch 50-pin connector. You use it to connect up a SCSI hard drive, CD-
ROM drive, or other SCSI device.

(1) OPTICAL IN, OUT connectors
Use these connectors to input or output digital signals over optical-fiber cable. You can
use the OPTICAL IN to record a digital signal of frequency 48kHz, 44.1kHz, or 32kHz.
The OPTICAL OUT connector outputs a digital signal of frequency 44.1kHz.
(2) DIGITAL IN, OUT connectors
Use these connectors to input or output digital signals over coaxial (RCA-pin) cable. The
digital signal format is CD/DAT (S/P DIF).
You can use the DIGITAL IN connector to record a digital signal of frequency 48kHz,
44.1kHz, or 32kHz. The DIGITAL OUT connector outputs a digital signal of frequency
44.1kHz.
(3) ASSIGNABLE OUT jacks (AS1 to AS6)
Additional analog output jacks. Each pair (1&2, 3&4, 5&6) operates independently of all
other outputs on the A3000. You can use these jacks to output the sound of one or more
selected samples, or to output the signal supplied through the front panel’s analog in-
put connectors (134, 176). You may also set them so that they output the same signal
as the STEREO OUT jacks (299).
A3000 Options

A3000 Options
You can enhance the capability of your A3000 by installing options. The A3000 supports
two options: (1) additional memory, and (2) the AIEB1 board (I/O expansion board).
Expansion Memory (SIMMs)
The A3000 stores all active data in main memory. To play a sample back, you must first
load it into main memory. And whenever you record a sample, you must record it into
main memory.
Samples consume a great deal of memory. The A3000 comes standard with 2 megabytes
(2MB) of memory — but this is only sufficient to store about 23 seconds of high-quality
monaural sound (at 44.1kHz sampling frequency), or approximately 11.5 seconds of
stereo sound.
You can increase this capacity by installing additional memory. The A3000 accepts ex-
pansion memory in the form of SIMMs (single in-line memory modules). Using SIMMs,
you can install up to 128MB of memory onto the A3000. SIMMs can be purchased from
almost any computer-supply dealer.
Adding memory will allow you to record longer samples, and to work with more sam-
ples at the same time. For information about how to install SIMMs, refer to the Appen-
dix. (312)
Important
You need to use 72-pin SIMMs with access time of 70ns or less. The SIMM module
size may be 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, or 32MB. The A3000 is designed for use with 32-bit
SIMMs, but can also accept installation of 36-bit (parity-type) SIMMs.
SIMMs must be installed in pairs: you can install either two SIMMs or four SIMMs.
Both modules in a pair must have the same memory capacity.
The A3000 ships with 2MB of sampling memory installed, and is capable of accessing
up to 128MB. If you add one pair of 32MB SIMMs, for example, you increase the
available sampling memory to a total of (2 + 32×2 =) 66MB. If you install four 32MB
SIMMs, however, the sampling memory size becomes 128MB (and the original 2MB
are effectively disabled).
For more information about SIMM purchase, refer to your A3000 dealer.
A3000 Options
15
The I/O Expansion Board (AIEB1 Board)
In its standard configuration, the A3000 supports analog I/O only. Although it stores all
internal data in digital form, it does not provide direct digital I/O connectors.
You can add digital I/O capacity by installing an AIEB1 board. The board offers two
different digital connector types: optical connectors, and coaxial connectors. As an added
benefit, the board also includes three stereo ASSIGNABLE OUTPUT pairs (six analog
jacks), which operate independently of the standard STEREO OUT and ASSIGNABLE
OUT jacks.
For information about how to install this board, refer to the Appendix. (312)
Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk
Precautions
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important
precautions below.
Disk Type
The A3000 disk drive accepts 2HD-type and 2DD-type 3.5" floppy disks.
Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks
To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:
Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is
facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly push-
ing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.
To eject a floppy disk:
Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the FDD is stopped (check if the LED
below the floppy disk slot is off).
Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out.
When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.
Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during reading or writing. Do-
ing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive.
If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the
disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed posi-
tion with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this hap-
pens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this
situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially
ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot
and then repeat the eject procedure.
Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A
floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can
cause data read and write errors.
Handling the Floppy Disk Drive(FDD) and Floppy Disk
17
Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head
Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic
read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of mag-
netic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors.
To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you
use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about
once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-cleaning
disks.
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause
damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.
About the Floppy Disks
To handle floppy disks with care:
Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way.
Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use.
Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or exces-
sive humidity, dust or liquids.
Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside.
Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speak-
ers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the
disk, rendering it unreadable.
Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.
Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure
that labels are attached in the proper location.
To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):
To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the
“protect” position (tab open).
Data backup
For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of impor-
tant data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged.
