12 DGX-505/305 Owner’s Manual
Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on.
The DGX-505/305 speakers are automatically shut off
when a plug is inserted into this jack.
The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an exter-
nal output.
You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a key-
board amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or
other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s
output signal to that device.
The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain
as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha
FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch
sustain on and off.
An FC5 footswitch is supplied with the DGX-505.
DGX-305 owners can purchase an FC5 separately if
footswitch functionality is required.
Connect the instrument’s USB terminal to the USB ter-
minal of a computer, and you can transfer performance
data and song files between the two (page 80).
To use the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do
the following:
• Connect the USB terminal of the computer to the
USB terminal on the instrument using a standard
USB cable.
• Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.
Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on
page 85.
With this capability you can, for example, use the
Musicsoft Downloader software provided on the sup-
plied CD-ROM to transfer songs from your computer to
the instrument’s SmartMedia or flash memory.
Connecting headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT jack)
Connecting a footswitch (SUSTAIN JACK)
•Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long peri-
ods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be
damaging to your hearing.
WARNING
•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 volumes of all devices at their
minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while
playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
CAUTION
Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUS-
TAIN 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
Connecting to a computer (USB terminal)
Make sure to purchase a quality USB cable at a musical instrument
store, computer store or electrical appliance store.
