Yamaha Digital Keyboards


Power/DC-In Jack: This is where you will connect the power adapter - an important keyboard accessory needed to power up Yamaha keyboards. Read more here on power adapters and batteries for Yamaha keyboards.

Headphones Jack: This allows you to do two things. You can plug in your headphones or you can take the output to an external system like your stereo/external amplifiers.

The most common use of this Jack for most students is to connect headphones so that you can practice without disturbing others.

Sustain Pedal Jack: This jack allows you to connect an optional sustain pedal (like the Yamaha FC4 or the FC5 pedals).

If you are a beginner, you may want to ask "What does it Do"?

Well, the purpose of connecting an external sustain pedal is so that you can emulate the right pedal/damper pedal of a real acoustic piano.

This is a great accessory to have if you are keen to take piano lessons and hope to graduate to a real piano sometime in the future.

MIDI Jack: Use this to connect your Yamaha digital keyboard to a computer. The possibilities are endless once you are connected to computer as you can use a variety of music learning as well as music composition software.

Summary

It's important to know the capabilities of your keyboard and how it can work with external keyboard accessories if you have to make the most out of your instrument. This page is sort of a quick guide to help you understand the various jacks/slots and their uses. Power Adapter is something that you will use as soon as you get your piano keyboard and maybe the headphones as well in some time. The Foot pedal and MIDI is something that you may not need immediately unless you intend to learn using a piano learning software, in which case you will have to use the MIDI slot. Foot pedal is especially useful for students who are keen to learn piano songs on. I hope it was easy to understand the installation and the connections on Yamaha Digital Keyboards.
