Quick Guide Connecting to Other Devices CAUTION • Before connecting the instrument to external devices, turn off the power of all the devices. Also, before turning the power on or off, make sure to set all volume levels to minimum. Otherwise, damage to the devices or electrical shock may occur. Connecting Headphones or an External Device Standard stereo phone plug Connecting Headphones Connect a pair of headphones to the [PHONES/ OUTPUT]/[PHONES] jack on the rear panel. The built-in speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. Connecting an External Device This jack also functions as an external output. By connecting to a computer, keyboard amplifier, recorder, or other audio device, you can output the audio signal of this instrument to that external device. The speakers of this instrument are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. CAUTION • Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. NOTICE • To avoid possible damage to the external device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. When turning off the power, do so in reverse order: first turn off the power to the external device, then to the instrument. Connecting a Footswitch to the SUSTAIN jack You can produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch (FC5 or FC4A; sold separately) plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack. Although the footswitch works as the Sustain pedal for most Voices, it features other functions such as Sostenuto and Arpeggio Hold (for Voices 290-339). One of these functions can be assigned to the footswitch on the Function display (page 70). NOTE • When Split is on, the sustain function does not affect the current Split Voice (page 20) while sostenuto and Arpeggio Hold (page 56) affect only the current Split Voice. • Plug or unplug the footswitch while the power is off. Also, do not press the footswitch when turning the power on. Doing so changes the polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed operation. • Some Voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the footswitch is held.
