Setting Up

14 PSR-K1 Owner’s Manual

Make all necessary connections below before turning the power on.

Connecting headphones (PHONES jack)

Headphones are connected to the PHONES jack. Connect-

ing headphones to the jack automatically cuts off the sound

coming through the internal speakers.

The PHONES jack also can be used as a auxiliary stereo out-

put (with a standard stereo phone plug). By connecting this

to the input of a keyboard ampliﬁer, mixing console or tape

recorder, you can play the sound and record your perfor-

mance through the external equipment.

Connecting to external audio devices

(OUTPUT R, L terminal)

The instrument is equipped with OUTPUT R, L jacks (mono

pin plug). By connecting this to the input of a keyboard

ampliﬁer, mixing console or tape recorder, you can play the

sound and record your performance through the external

equipment.

Connecting a foot switch (SUSTAIN jack)

This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha

FC4 or FC5) to sustain the sound of the voices.

Connecting to a computer (USB terminal)

By connecting the USB terminal of this device to the USB

terminal of a computer, you can transfer performance data

and song ﬁles between the devices. (See page 67.)

For example, the Song Filer software (included on the CD-

ROM) lets you copy songs on your computer to SmartMedia

card for use on the instrument. (Keep in mind that Song Filer

cannot be used to transmit data from the PSR-K1 to a com-

puter. Also, when you download songs to SmartMedia card,

make sure that the write-protect seal is not afﬁxed to the card.)

To use the USB features, you’ll need to ﬁrst install the USB-

MIDI Driver to your computer.

• Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long

periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it

may be damaging to your hearing.

• To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the

external devices at the minimum setting before connecting

them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric

shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the vol-

umes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually

raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set

the desired listening level.

• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the

SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this

changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in

reversed footswitch operation.

NOTE

• Make sure to purchase a quality USB cable at a musical instrument

store, computer store or electrical appliance store.
