Using Headphones Or An External Sound System; The Foot Pedal; The Music Stand - Yamaha PORTATONE PSR-400 Owner's Manual

USING HEADPHONES OR AN EXTERNAL SOUND SYSTEM

Stereo sound system
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged into the rear-panel HEAD-
PHONES/AUX. OUT 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 HEADPHONES/AUX. OUT jack can also be used
to deliver the output of the PSR-400/PSR-500 to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound
system, mixing console or tape recorder.

THE FOOT PEDAL

Plug the supplied foot pedal into the rear-panel FOOT PEDAL jack. The foot
pedal functions as a damper pedal, controlling sustain. Press the pedal to sustain
notes after the keys are released.
• Be sure that you do not press the pedal while inserting the plug into the FOOT
PEDAL jack or while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status of the
footswitch will be reversed. This function has been implemented to allow either
press-to-make or press-to-break contact type footswitches to be used with the
PSR-400/PSR-500.
• Sustain cannot be applied to voices in which releasing the key played does not
stop the sound: e.g. MUTE GUITAR (26). MARIMBA (41), PERCUSSIONS
(99), etc.

THE MUSIC STAND

Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot located at the rear of the
PSR-400/PSR-500 control panel.
