SETTING UP ACCESSORY JACKS I Using Headphones For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/AUX OUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into this jack. I Using a Footswitch This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the sound of the voices, or control a variety of other functions. (See page 91.) When this is used for sustain, the footswitch functions the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano - press and hold down the footswitch as you play the keyboard to sustain the sound. PHONES/ AUX OUT FOOT SWITCH I Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo System Though the PortaTone is equipped with a builtin speaker system, you can also play it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the PortaTone and any external devices are turned off, then connect one end of a stereo audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN jack(s) of the other device and the other end to the rear panel PHONES/AUX OUT jack on the PortaTone. PHONES/ AUX OUT Stereo system • Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the FOOT SWITCH jack before turning on the power. • Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation. I Using the MIDI Terminals The PortaTone also features MIDI termi- MIDI instrument nals, allowing you to interface the PortaTone with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information, see pages 20, 93.) IN MIDI OUT To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. 9
