Make all necessary connections BEFORE turning the power on.

The EZ-200 speakers are automatically shut off when

a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/OUT-

PUT jack also functions as an external output.

You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a

keyboard ampliﬁer, stereo system, mixer, tape

recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the

instrument’s output signal to that device.

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain

as you play by pressing an optional footswitch. Plug

the Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and

use it to switch sustain on and off.

The instrument also features MIDI terminals, allow-

ing you to interface the instrument with other MIDI

instruments or computers. (For more information, see

page 54.)

Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the

power. Pressing the switch again turns the power off.

When you ﬁrst turn on the power, make sure to turn

down the volume of the instrument by pressing the

MASTER VOLUME [-] button several times. While

playing the keyboard, adjust the volume level by using

the MASTER VOLUME [+] and [-] buttons.

All panel settings as well as the settings made via the

display are reset to their default values whenever the

power is turned off.
