3 Playing the sounds of the
PSR-2000/1000 through an
external audio system, and
recording the sounds to an
external recorder (AUX OUT/
OUTPUT jacks)
You can connect the PSR-2000/1000 to a wide range of
audio equipment by using the AUX OUT and OUTPUT
jacks.
Connect as shown in the illustrations below using
standard audio cables.
4 Using the Pedal (footswitch)
or Foot Controller (FOOT
PEDAL 1/2 jack)
By connecting a Foot Switch (the FC4 or FC5) to one of
the FOOT PEDAL jacks, you can replicate the function of
some panel buttons, doing things like starting and
stopping accompaniment.
By connecting an optional Foot Controller (such as the
FC7) to the FOOT PEDAL 2 jack, you can control any one
of a variety of important functions with your foot — such
as dynamically adjusting the volume as you play
(page 139).
5 Connecting external MIDI
devices (MIDI terminals)
Using a standard MIDI cable, connect the external MIDI
device to the MIDI terminal(s) of the PSR-2000/1000.
Make sure to set the HOST SELECT switch (page 18) to
MIDI when you use these connectors. For more
information about connections, see “What You Can Do
With MIDI” on page 158.
MIDI IN ...........Receives MIDI messages from an
external MIDI device
MIDI OUT........Sends out MIDI messages generated by
the PSR-2000/1000
For a general overview of MIDI and how you can
effectively use it, refer to the following sections:
• What’s MIDI? (page 155)
• What You Can Do With MIDI (page 158)
• MIDI functions (page 145)
Use audio cables and adaptor plugs with no resistance.
When the PSR-2000/1000 AUX OUT and OUTPUT jacks are
connected to an external audio system, first turn on the power to
the PSR-2000/1000, then to the external audio system. Reverse
this order when you turn the power off.

RCA pin plug
AUX IN

Phone plug
(standard)
When these are connected
(with RCA pin plug; LEVEL
FIXED), the sound is output to
the external device at a fixed
level, regardless of the
[MASTER VOLUME] control
setting.
When these are connected
(with standard phone
plugs), you can use the
[MASTER VOLUME]
control to adjust the volume
of the sound output to the
external device.
• If you connect the PSR-2000/1000 to a monaural device, use
only the OUTPUT L/L+R jack.
The polarity of the foot switch (normal or reverse) can also be
changed (page 139).
• Never use MIDI cables longer than 15 meters.
