3Playing the sounds of the PSR-2100/1100 through an external audio system, and recording the sounds to an external recorder (AUX OUT/OUTPUT jacks)
You can connect the PSR-2100/1100 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.
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 142).
5Connecting external MIDI devices (MIDI terminals)
Use the built-in MIDI terminals and standard MIDI cables
to connect external MIDI devices. For more information
about MIDI connections, see “What You Can Do With
MIDI” on page 160.
The MIDI terminals cannot be used when the USB
terminal is connected to a computer and active.
MIDI IN ...........Receives MIDI messages from an
external MIDI device
MIDI OUT........Sends out MIDI messages generated by
the PSR-2100/1100
For a general overview of MIDI and how you can
effectively use it, refer to the following sections:
• What’s MIDI? (page 158)
• What You Can Do With MIDI (page 160)
• MIDI functions (page 148)
Use audio cables and adaptor plugs with no resistance.
When the PSR-2100/1100 AUX OUT and OUTPUT jacks are
connected to an external audio system, first turn on the power to
the PSR-2100/1100, then to the external audio system. Reverse
this order when you turn the power off.
CAUTION
LRRL/L+R

Phone plug
(standard)
When these are connected
(with RCA pin plug; LEVEL
FIXED), the sound is output to
the external device at a fixed
level, regardless of the
[MASTER VOLUME] control
setting.
When these are connected
(with standard phone
plugs), you can use the
[MASTER VOLUME]
control to adjust the volume
of the sound output to the
external device.
• If you connect the PSR-2100/1100 to a monaural device, use
only the OUTPUT L/L+R jack.
The polarity of the foot switch (normal or reverse) can also be
changed (page 142).
Make sure to connect or disconnect the pedal only when the power
is turned off.
CAUTION
•Never use MIDI cables longer than 15 meters.
