Sustain Jack - Yamaha P-80 Owner's Manual

3 OUTPUT Jacks : L and R Pin jacks, L/L+R and R Phone Jacks
The P-80 is equipped with both Pin and Phone OUTPUT jacks to
deliver the output of the P-80 for connection to an instrument ampli-
fier, mixing console, PA system or recording equipment. The Pin
connectors (L and R) provide easy connection to a home audio
system, etc. The L/L+R Phone Jack allows connection of the P-80 to
a monaural sound system. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R
jack only, the left- and right-channel signals are combined and
delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don't lose any of the P-80's
sound.
CAUTION
• Before connecting the P-80 to other electronic components, turn off
the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for
all components, set all-volume levels to minimum.
• When turning the power on, first turn the P-80's power on and then
turn the power on of the external amplifier/speaker system.
When turning the power off, simply reverse the order.
4 PHONES Jacks
Two sets of standard stereo headphones can be plugged in here for
private practice or late-night playing.

5 SUSTAIN Jack

This terminal is for connecting the sustain pedal to the P-80. The
pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic
piano.
• Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the pedal.
NOTE
6 MIDI IN, and OUT Connectors
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external
MIDI device (such as a MIDI sequencer) which can be used to
control the P-80. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data
generated by the P-80 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by
playing the P-80 keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in "MIDI Functions" on page 32.
7 TO HOST Connector & HOST SELECT Switch
This jack and selector switch allow direct connection to a per-
sonal computer for sequencing and other music applications —
without the need for a separate MIDI interface. See page 36 for
details.
