Setting Up
11
With the AC power adaptor connected or
with batteries installed, simply press the
power switch until it locks in the ON posi-
tion. When the instrument is not in use, be
sure to turn the power off. (Press the switch
again so that it pops up.)
Using Headphones
For private practicing and playing without dis-
turbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones
to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack.
Sound from the built-in speaker system is auto-
matically cut off when you insert a headphone
plug into this jack.
Connecting a Keyboard Amplier or Stereo System
Though the PSR-290 is equipped with a built-in
speaker system, you can also play it through an
external amplifier/speaker system. First, make
sure the PSR-290 and any external devices are
turned off, then connect one end of a stereo audio
cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN jack(s) of the
other device and the other end to the rear panel
PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the PSR-290.
Using a Footswitch
This feature lets you use an optional footswitch
(Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the sound of the
voices. The footswitch functions the same way
as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano — press
and hold down the footswitch as you play the
keyboard to sustain the sound.
Using the MIDI Terminals
The PSR-290 also features MIDI terminals,
allowing you to interface the PSR-290 with other
MIDI instruments and devices. (For more infor-
mation, see page 67.)
Turning On the Power
Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position,
electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the mini-
mum level. When you are not using the PSR-290 for a
long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor
from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries
from the instrument.
Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!”
message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage
the internal flash memory and result in loss of data.
Accessory Jacks
Stereo System
To prevent damage to the
speakers, set the volume of the
external devices at the mini-
mum setting before connect-
ing 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 grad
-
ually raise the volume controls
while playing the instrument to
set the desired listening level.
Make sure that the footswitch
plug is properly connected to the
SUSTAIN 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.
