Setting Up; Basic Operation - Yamaha pf85 Authorized Product Manual

SETTING UP

To set up your PF85 for playing, connect the cords and ac-
cessories as follows:
1. Plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet.
Connect the supplied FC-4 footswitch to the SUSTAIN
2 .
jack on the rear panel, for use as a sustain pedal. You
can also connect a second FC-4 pedal to the SOFT jack
for use as a soft or key hold pedal (the function can be
selected in a simple operation described later in this
manual).
3. Though the PF85 has its own amplifier/speaker system,
you can also play it through an external system via the
STEREO OUT (I, II) jacks. The PF85's output is nor-
mally mono, but when the Chorus effect is used, a stereo
signal is output. the SPEAKER switch on the rear panel
is used to turn the internal speakers on and off.
4. For headphone listening, connect a pair of stereo
headphones to the PHONES jack. When headphones
are connected, the internal speakers are automatically
turned off.
5 . To control the PF85 from an external MIDI device,
connect the MIDI OUT jack of the MIDI device to the
MIDI IN jack of the PF85. To control an external MIDI
device from the PF85, connect the MIDI IN jack of the
MIDI device to the MIDI OUT jack of the PF85. (Refer
to the MIDI OPERATION chapter for more details).
6. The LINE IN jack can be used for connecting a tape
recorder, synthesizer, drum machine, etc., which can be
listened to through the PF85's internal speakers while
you play. The OUTPUT connectors of the external
source should be connected to the LINE IN jacks on the
PF85. The level should be adjusted at the external source.
NOTE: Never feed speaker-level signals to the PF85's
LINE IN jacks — it could cause damage to the PF85's
internal circuitry.
7. Set the music stand into position (it is held there by
magnets).
