■ Using the MIDI Terminals
• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to
the FOOT SWITCH 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.

ACCESSORY JACKS
■ Using Headphones
For private practicing and playing without
disturbing others, connect a set of stereo head-
phones to the rear panel PHONES/AUX OUT
jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is
automatically cut off when you insert a head-
phone plug into this jack.
■ Using a Footswitch
This feature lets you use an optional footswitch
(Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to control a variety of
functions. (See page 21.)
■ Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo
System
Though the DJX is equipped with a built-in
speaker system, you can also play it through an
external amplifier/speaker system. First, make
sure the DJX 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/AUX OUT jack on the DJX.
The DJX also features
MIDI terminals,
allowing you to
interface the DJX with
other MIDI instru-
ments and devices.
(For more informa-
tion, see page 94.)
MIDI instrument
To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the
external devices at the minimum setting before connecting
them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric
shock or equipment damage.
■ Using the MIC and LINE IN jacks
These are for recording an external audio source
in the Digital Sampling functions (page 70).
The MIC jack is for connection to a microphone
for recording vocals and acoustic instruments.
The LINE IN jack is for connecting to and record-
ing a line level signal, such as that of a CD player
or cassette deck.
