See "Connecting to a Computer" on page E-47 for details. 1 Stereo standard plug Sustain/Assignable jack Terminal You can connect an optional sustain pedal (SP-3 or SP-20) to the SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK terminal to enable the capabilities described below. 3 Keyboard amp, guitar amp, etc. White Red PIN plug 2 LEFT RIGHT AUX IN or similar terminal of audio amplifier For details on how to select the pedal function you want, see "SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK (Default: SUS)" on page E-50. SUSTAIN/ASSIGNABLE JACK Terminal Connecting Headphones (Figure 1) Connecting headphones cuts off output from the keyboard's built-in speakers, so you can play even late at night without disturbing anyone. Audio Equipment (Figure 2) Connect the keyboard to an audio equipment using a commercially available connecting cord with a standard plug on one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that comes with your audio equipment for full details. Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3) Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier. SP-20 Sustain Pedal · With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to linger, much like a piano's damper pedal. · With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to continue to sound until the pedal is released. Sostenuto Pedal · As with the sustain pedal function described above, depressing the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained. · This difference between a sostenuto pedal and sustain pedal is the timing. With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys and then depress the pedal before you release the keys. · Only the notes that are sounding when the pedal is depressed are sustained. Soft Pedal Depressing the pedal softens the sound of the notes being played. Rhythm Start/Stop Pedal In this case, the pedal performs the same functions as the START/STOP button.
