The PHONES Jack

A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private
practice or late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is auto-
matically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES
jack.

SUSTAIN Jack

An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch can be plugged into the rear-
panel SUSTAIN jack for sustain control. The footswitch functions like the
damper pedal on a piano — press for sustain, release for normal sound.

MIDI IN and OUT Connectors

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI de-
vice (such as a MIDI sequencer) which can be used to control the PSR-320/
420. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-
320/420 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard).
More details on MIDI are provided on page 56.

The Music Stand

The PSR-320/420 is supplied with a mu-
sic stand that can be attached to the instru-
ment by inserting it into the slot at the rear
of the control panel.
Setting Up
• The PHONES jack can also be
used to deliver the output of the
PSR-320/420 to a keyboard
amplifier, stereo sound system,
mixing console or tape recorder.
• Be sure that you do not press the
pedal while turning the power on.
If you do, the ON/OFF status of
the footswitch will be reversed.
