Connecting Headphones Or External Audio Equipment; Connecting A Footswitch To The [Sustain] Jack - Yamaha PSR-A350 Owner's Manual

Setting Up
Connecting Headphones or
External Audio Equipment
A pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4" stereo phone
plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitor-
ing. The speakers are automatically shut off when a
plug is inserted into this jack.
The [PHONES/OUTPUT] jack also functions as an
external output. You can connect the [PHONES/
OUTPUT] jack to a computer, a keyboard amplifier,
stereo system, mixer, recorder, or other line-level
audio device to send the instrument's output signal to
that device.
CAUTION
• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long
period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level,
since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experi-
ence any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a phy-
sician.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic com-
ponents, set all volume levels to the minimum, then turn
off the power for all components.
NOTICE
• When the instrument's sound is output to an external
device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to
the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the
power off.
NOTE
• When connecting this instrument to an external speaker or
headphone, we recommend that you select the "Headphon"
(Headphones) type in Master EQ. For details, refer to "Select-
ing an EQ Setting for the Best Sound" on page 14.

Connecting a Footswitch to the
[SUSTAIN] jack
You can produce a natural sustain as you play by
pressing a Footswitch (FC5/FC4A; sold separately)
plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack.
NOTE
• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to
the [SUSTAIN] jack before turning on the power.
• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing
this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, result-
ing in reversed footswitch operation.
• The sustain function does not affect split voices (page 17) and
style (automatic accompaniment; page 24).
