Connections 2 AUX OUT [R][L] Pin jacks (LEVEL FIXED), [R][L/L+R] Phone jacks These jacks let you connect the PF-500 to your stereo system etc. to play at higher volumes, or connect a cassette recorder etc. to record your playing. Use audio cables to make connections as shown in the diagram. CAUTION When the PF-500's AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external audio system, first turn on the power to the PF-500, then to the external audio system. Reverse this order when you turn the power off. L/L+R AUX OUT R L LEVEL FIXED R Stereo PF-500 phone plug (standard) RCA pin plug AUX IN RCA pin plug To powered speakers audio cable When these are connected (with standard phone plugs), you can use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume of the sound output to the external device. When these are connected (with RCA pin plug; LEVEL FIXED), the sound is output to the external device at a fixed level, regardless of the [MASTER VOLUME] control setting. 3 PHONES jack See page 16. 4 PEDAL jack See page 14. 5 AUX PEDAL jack A separately sold FC7 foot controller or FC4/FC5 foot switch can be connected to this jack. By using an FC7 you can control the volume while playing to add expression to your performance, or control various other functions. By using an FC4/FC5, you can switch various selected functions on/off. To select the function that will be controlled, use the [VOICE SETTING] parameter [AuxPedal] (See page 76). The SONG [START/STOP] function can also be assigned to a foot switch (See page 84). 6 MIDI [IN], [OUT], [THRU] connectors Use MIDI cables to connect external MIDI devices to these connectors. Make sure you set the HOST SELECT switch (described on the privious page) to MIDI when you use these connectors. 7 HOST SELECT switch This switch should be set according to the type of connected MIDI device or personal computer. (Refer to "Connecting a personal computer" on page 53 for more information.) 8 TO HOST jack This jack allows direct connection to a personal computer. (Refer to "Connecting a personal computer" on page 53 for more information.) 9 USB jack This jack allows direct connection to a personal computer. (Refer to "Connecting a personal computer" on page 53 for more information.) 52 PF-500 CAUTION Do not route the output from the AUX OUT jacks to the AUX IN jacks. That is, when you connect an external audio device to the AUX OUT jacks, do not connect the audio device to the PF500's AUX IN jacks. If you make this connection, the signal input at the AUX IN jacks will be output from AUX OUT. This creates an audio loop, causing audio oscillation and abnormal playback, and leading to malfunction of both pieces of equipment. TIP Use audio cables and adaptor plugs with no resistance. TIP The PF-500's [MASTER VOLUME] setting will not affect the sound that is output from AUX OUT (LEVEL FIXED). TIP Connect or disconnect the pedal when the power is off.
