Using Your PSR-2000/1000 with Other Devices

3Playing the sounds of the PSR-2000/1000 through an external audio system, and recording the sounds to an external recorder (AUX OUT/ OUTPUT jacks)

You can connect the PSR-2000/1000 to a wide range of audio equipment by using the AUX OUT and OUTPUT jacks.

Connect as shown in the illustrations below using standard audio cables.

Use audio cables and adaptor plugs with no resistance.

CAUTION

When the PSR-2000/1000 AUX OUT and OUTPUT jacks are connected to an external audio system, first turn on the power to the PSR-2000/1000, then to the external audio system. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.

setting.

•If you connect the PSR-2000/1000 to a monaural device, use only the OUTPUT L/L+R jack.

4Using the Pedal (footswitch) or Foot Controller (FOOT PEDAL 1/2 jack)

By connecting a Foot Switch (the FC4 or FC5) to one of the FOOT PEDAL jacks, you can replicate the function of some panel buttons, doing things like starting and stopping accompaniment.

By connecting an optional Foot Controller (such as the FC7) to the FOOT PEDAL 2 jack, you can control any one of a variety of important functions with your foot — such as dynamically adjusting the volume as you play

(page 139).

The polarity of the foot switch (normal or reverse) can also be changed (page 139).

5Connecting external MIDI devices (MIDI terminals)

Using a standard MIDI cable, connect the external MIDI device to the MIDI terminal(s) of the PSR-2000/1000. Make sure to set the HOST SELECT switch (page 18) to MIDI when you use these connectors. For more information about connections, see “What You Can Do With MIDI” on page 158.

MIDI IN ...........Receives MIDI messages from an

external MIDI device

MIDI OUT........Sends out MIDI messages generated by

the PSR-2000/1000

For a general overview of MIDI and how you can effectively use it, refer to the following sections:

•What’s MIDI? (page 155)

•What You Can Do With MIDI (page 158)

•MIDI functions (page 145)

•Never use MIDI cables longer than 15 meters.
