3. Connections: Basic System Setup \•7 BYPASS MEMORY INC/DEC TRIGGER MIDI IN CD 0 PHONES PHONES LEVEL 0 0 COMPLIES WITH THE LIMITS FOR A 'CLASS ir COMPUTING DEVICE PURSUANT TO SUBPART J OF PART 15 OF FCC RULES. 0 I R OUTPUT L 0 0 1 OUTPUT LEVEL -201B ilEl YAMAHA SIMUL-EFFECT PROCESSOR MODEL FX500 YAMAHA CORPORATION MADE IN JAPAN r- - SER.NO. 1i INPUT DC 12V IN 0 DC 12V IN Jack and Cable Clip The DC output cable from the supplied AC Adaptor should be connected here. When connecting the power supply, make sure that the FX500 POWER switch is in the OFF position (extended). Plug the AC adaptor output cable into the DC 12V IN jack, and finally the adaptor's AC plug into a convenient AC wall outlet. The cable clip located immediately below the DC 12V IN jack helps to prevent accidental unplugging of the power supply during use. Wrap the DC cable firmly around the clip a few centimeters from the plug end. Lc5p O CAUTION! Do not attempt to use a different AC adaptor to power the FX500. The use of an incompatible adaptor may cause irreparable damage to the FX500, and might pose a serious shock hazard! 0 INPUT Jack This jack duplicates the function of the front-panel INPUT jack described in the following section. It is important to note, however, that only one of the INPUT jacks can be used at a time. If plugs are inserted into both the front and rear-panel inputs, the front-panel input jack takes priority. 0 OUTPUT LEVEL Selector This switch is used to match the output level of the FX500 to the input sensitivity of the amplifier, mixing console or other device it is feeding. For compatibility with standard line-level inputs the -10 dB setting should be appropriate, while the -20 dB setting should be used when the FX500 is connected to a highsensitivity input -the input of a guitar amplifier, for exar4le. 5 OUTPUT R and OUTPUT L Jacks These are the main stereo outputs from the FX500. We recommend using both outputs and connecting them to the corresponding right and left channels of a stereo sound system, since the full impact of many of the FX500 effects can only be appreciated in stereo. if, however, only a mono sound system is available, use either the OUTPUT R or OUTPUT L jack. 0 PHONES LEVEL Control and PHONES Jack For private listening or practice when an external sound system cannot be used, a pair of standard stereo headphones (with a 1/4" stereo phone plug or appropriate adaptor plug) can be plugged into the PHONES jack. The PHONES LEVEL control adjusts the headphone listening level. 0 MIDI IN Connector The MIDI IN connector accepts MIDI signals from an external MIDI device such as a MIDI foot controller, keyboard, etc. The FX500 will accept MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE messages to directly select effect programs, or MIDI CONTROL CHANGE messages to control individual effect parameters. [See page 19 for further details] 0 MEMORY INC/DEC, TRIGGER {TAP TEMPO DELAY) Jack An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Footswitch may be connected here for convenient foot-controlled selection of effect programs or "tap tempo delay" control which is used to set delay time for the delay effects. The function of the footswitch is determined by the UTILITY mode Foot Switch Function Select function (page 22). The range of effect programs that can be selected when the footswitch is assigned to memory selection is determined by the UTILITY mode Footswitch Memory Recall Range Edit function (page 23). 0 BYPASS Jack An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 Footswitch connected here performs exactly the same function as the frontpanel BYPASS key. Press the footswitch once to activate the bypass mode, and again to turn bypass off.
