Using the Pedals
Sustain Pedal (Sustain Pedal jack)
This jack is for connecting the included foot switch FC4. The pedal functions in the
same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Connect the included foot switch
FC4 to this jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound.
When “Damper Resonance” is on, the instrument simulates the sustain sound that
occurs when you press the damper pedal of a grand piano, as you press the damper
pedal and play the keyboard.
An optional FC3 foot pedal or FC5 foot switch can also be connected to this jack. For
the FC3, the further down the pedal is pressed, the longer the sound will be sustained.
(It can be used like a half pedal effect).
The depth of the effect produced by the Sustain Samples can be adjusted via the Pedal func-
tions (pages 39, 43) in Function.
AUX Pedal (AUX Pedal jack)
This jack is for connecting an optional FC3 foot pedal, FC5 foot switch or FC7 foot
controller. An included foot switch FC4 can also be connected to this jack. A wide
range of functions, including the Soft Pedal function, can be assigned to this jack. For
instructions on assigning the pedal, refer to pages 39, 43.
The FC7 Foot Controller can be used to control Expression (pages 39, 43).
Using Headphones
Connect a set of headphones to one of the [PHONES] jacks.
Two [PHONES] jacks are provided.
You can connect two sets of standard stereo headphones. (If you are using
only one set of headphones, you can plug them into either jack.)
CAUTION
Do not use the instrument at a high volume level for a long period of time, or
your hearing may be damaged.
CAUTION
The speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.
Optional headphones:
HPE-150 Yamaha headphones
Music Rest
The instrument includes a music rest that can be attached to the
instrument by inserting it into the holes at the top of the control
panel.
If the sustain pedal doesn’t work,
make sure that the pedal cord is
properly plugged into the jack.
TERMINOLOGY
Half-pedal:
While playing the piano with Sus-
tain and you want to slightly mute
