A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged into the rear-panel
HEADPHONES jack for private practice or late-night playing. The internal
speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is
plugged into the HEADPHONES jack.
The AUX OUT L+R/L and R jacks deliver the output of the PSR-1700/
PSR-2700 for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA
system, or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the PSR-1700/
PSR-2700 to a monophonic sound system, use only the L+R/L jack. When
a plug is inserted into the L+R/L jack only, the left- and right-channel sig-
nals are combined and delivered via the L+R/L jack so you don't lose any
of the instrument's sound.
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch or FC7 foot controller can
be plugged into either or both of the rear-panel PEDAL jacks.
The PEDAL 1 jack is initially assigned to sustain control. A footswitch
connected to this jack functions as a damper pedal, controlling sustain.
Press the pedal to sustain notes after the keys are released.
The PEDAL 2 jack is initially assigned to the voice volume control
(MIDI Expression control). An FC7 foot controller connected to this jack
can be used to control voice volume: press the pedal forward to increase
voice volume; backward to decrease voice volume.
Both the PEDAL jacks can be assigned to a wide range of other func-
tions as described in the "Pedal Assign" section on page 72.
Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot located at the rear
of the control panel.
