• If you connect from
the PSR-730/630 TO
HOST terminal to a
personal computer,
the PSR-730/630 will
be used as a MIDI in-
terface device, mean-
ing that a specialized
MIDI interface device
is not necessary.
• When the HOST SE-
LECT switch is set to
"MAC," "PC-1," or
"PC-2," don't use the
MIDI IN/OUT termi-
PC1 PC2 MIDI
nals. (MIDI data can-
not be sent or re-
ceived through the
MIDI terminals).
• "Host is Offline!!" will
be shown on the dis-
play, when the Host
Select switch is set
appropriately and the
serial cable is con-
nected to the PSR-
730/630 TO HOST
but not to the PC's se-
rial port (or the cable
is properly connected
to the PC which is
currently turned off).
