The Music Stand
The PSR-5700 is supplied with a music stand that can be attached to
the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control
panel.

SUSTAIN Jack
The PSR-5700 comes with an FC5 footswitch that should be connected
here for foot sustain control. The footswitch functions like the damper pedal
on a piano — press for sustain, release for normal sound.
An optional Yamaha EP-1 Expression Pedal can be connected to this jack
to allow foot expression (swell) or effect control. Please note that when the
pedal is used for expression control, no sound will be produced if the ex-
pression pedal is set to the minimum position.
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI de-
vice (such as a MIDI sequencer) which can be used to control the PSR-
5700. The MIDI THRU connector re-transmits any data received at the
MIDI IN connector, allowing “chaining” of several MIDI instruments or
other devices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by
the PSR-5700 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the key-
board).
More details on MIDI are provided on page 50 of the Advanced Features
manual.
