Polarity
This parameter lets you configure the foot switch response of the PSR-740/640
to match that of the particular foot switch you are using. If the foot switch works
in the opposite way (i.e., pressing the foot switch has no effect, but releasing it
does), try changing this setting. The default setting is "NORMAL."
Use the data dial, the
[+/YES] button or the [-/NO]
button.
Press the [NEXT] button.
Use the data dial, the
[+/YES] button or the [-/NO]
button.
For "SUSTAIN," if you press and hold the foot switch here,
all the notes shown will be sustained.
For "SOSTENUTO," if you press and hold the foot switch
here, only the first note will be sustained (the note that
you played and held when pressing the foot switch).
Other Functions (Utility)

TRATION+" or "REGISTRA-
TION-" functions with the
fooswitch, make sure to
