Setting Up Setting Up Connecting Headphones or External Audio Equipment Connecting a Footswitch to the [SUSTAIN] jack Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4" stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack to a computer, keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument's output signal to that device. CAUTION • Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. • Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, set all volume levels to the minimum, then turn off the power for all components. NOTICE • When the instrument's sound is output to an external device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the power off. You can produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing an optional Footswitch plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack before turning on the power. NOTE • The sustain function does not affect split voices (page 18). • Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation. 14 PSR-E443 Owner's Manual
