Using the Foot Switch to
Start/Stop Playback
With a foot switch (such as the optional FS-5U) connected to
the FOOT SW jack on the JS-5’s rear panel, you can use your
foot to start and stop performances.
Additionally, by using a special cable (the optional PCS-31),
you can then connect two foot switches.
How to Connect the Foot Switch
To prevent malfunction, speaker damage, or other such
problems when connecting the foot switch to the JS-5, be sure
to completely turn down the volume of all connected devices
and turn off the power first.
