Setting Up
Connections
■ The PHONES Jack
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or
late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when
a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack.
■ SUSTAIN Jack
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch can be plugged into the rear-panel
SUSTAIN jack for sustain control. The footswitch functions like the damper pedal on
a piano — press for sustain, release for normal sound.
• Be sure that you do
not press the foot-
switch while turning
the power on. If you
do, the ON/OFF status
of the footswitch will
be reversed.
• Some voices may
sound continuously or
have a long decay af-
ter the notes have
been released while
the sustain pedal
(footswitch) is held.

System
■ The AUX OUT R and L/L+R Jacks
The rear-panel AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the PSR-530
for connection to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, a mixing console, or tape
recorder. If you will be connecting the PSR-530 to a monaural sound system, use only
the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the left- and right-
channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any
of the PSR-530 sound.
