Showing the Instrument’s Display Con-

tents on a Separate TV Monitor

(3 [VIDEO OUT] terminal) (PSR-S900)

Connect the instrument to an external TV monitor, and
you can have the current display contents, lyrics (for
group sing-alongs and the like, or text files) displayed
on the TV. For instructions on connecting, see page 59.

Connecting a Microphone or Guitar

(4 [MIC/LINE IN] Jack) (PSR-S900)

By connecting a microphone to the [MIC/LINE IN] jack
(standard 1/4" phone jack), you can enjoy singing along
with Song playback (KARAOKE) or with your own per-
formance. The instrument outputs your vocals or guitar
sounds through the built-in speakers. For instructions on
connecting, see page 57. Please note that when con-
necting devices of high output level, make sure to set
the [LINE MIC] switch to “LINE.”

Using the Footswitch or Foot Controller

(5 [FOOT PEDAL 1/2] jacks)

Two FOOT PEDAL jacks can be used via the following
functions at the initial default setting (factory setting).
• FOOT PEDAL 1 jack
Plug an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into
this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. The
footswitch functions like the damper pedal on a piano
— press for sustain, release for normal sound.
• FOOT PEDAL 2 jack
(PSR-S900) Plug an optional Yamaha Footswitch FC4 or
FC5 into this jack and use it to control the Super Articu-
lation Voices (page 83).
(PSR-S700) Plug an optional Yamaha FC7 foot controller
into this jack and use it to change the volume as you
play the instrument (expression function).

•Set the NTSC or PAL to correspond to the standard used by
your video equipment.
•When LYRICS/TEXT is selected as the contents of the Screen
Out signal, only the lyrics of the song or text files are output
via VIDEO OUT, regardless of the display that is called up
on the instrument.
•Avoid looking at the television or video monitor for pro-
longed periods of time since doing so could damage your
eyesight. Take frequent breaks and focus your eyes on dis-
tant objects to avoid eyestrain.
