Manuel: Congrats on receiving your new musical treasure. Looking forward to hearing music from you on recorded on it.

New Yamaha Tyros2 owners: One thing not to forget, in order to maximize (and bring to life) the full sound potential of your Tyros2 (& all Yamaha arranger KBs as well) is to remember to tweak your keyboard's overall EQ & Compressor settings.

Mixing Console > EQ
Mixing Console > CMP

In addition to simply selecting Preset Settings, I recommend creating your own custom USER settings customed tailored for your ears, your output speaker source and room acoustics.

Here's a link to Gary Diamond's excellent article (appearing on PSR Tutorial website) covering this topic:

Using The Graphics Equalizer

Equalizer (EQ) is also covered on page 184 of the Tyros2 Owner's manual.

Master Compressor (Creating & Storing USER Settings) is covered on page 185 of the Tyros2 Owner's Manual.

An in depth operation tutorial for the PSR3000 (of which contains valuable info applicable to Tyros/Tyros2 as well) is covered on Joe Water's EXCELLENT PSR Tutorial website. Highly recommended reading.
