Compressor is an effect commonly used  to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For 
signals that vary widely in dynamics, su ch as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making 
soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with ga in to boost the overall level, this creates a more powerful, 
more consistently high-level sound.
Editing Master Compressor Settings
Select the CMP page in step 3 on page 93.

level) and o utp ut level.

[4  ] THRESHOLD 
OFFSET Determines the threshol

[5  ] RATIO OFFSET Determines the ratio of compressi on (how much the dynamic range is compressed). 
[7  ] GAIN OFFSET Determines  the output level. 
By default, the type is set to “TRS-MS05” (the most appropriate setting for use with the 
optional TRS-MS05 speaker system).

This chapter covers the connectors of
 this instrument. To see where the connectors are located on the instrument, 
refer to pages 14–15.
By connecting a microphone, you can enjoy singing along with  your keyboard performance or with Song playback, as 
well as recording your vocal performance using the Audio  Recorder function. Make sure you have a conventional 
dynamic microphone. 
For instructions on connecting a microphone, refer to page 88.
Connecting the Optional  Yamaha TRS-MS05 Speaker
For instructions, refer to pages 106–107.
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic co mponents, turn off the power of all components. Also, 
before turning any components on or off, make sure to  set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, dam-
age to the components, electrical shock, or even permanent hearing loss may occur.
Connecting a Microphone ([MIC INPUT] jack)
Connecting Audio Devices (LI NE OUT jacks, AUX IN jacks)
CAUTION
Since the Tyros5 has no built-in 
speakers, you need to monitor its 
sound output via external audio 
equipment. Alternatively, you 
could use a pair of headphones 
(page 15).

							98Tyros5  Owner’s Manual
Using External Audio Devices for Playback
The [LINE OUT] jacks are used to send the Tyro s5 output to a keyboard amplifier, stereo 
sound system or mixing console. If you are connecting the Tyros5 to a mono sound sys-
tem, use only the [L/L+R] jack. When only th is jack is connected (using a standard phone 
plug), the left and right channels are combined and output through this jack—providing a 
convenient mono mix of the Tyros5’s stereo sound.
You can send a specific part to any 
desired LINE OUT SUB jack. The opera-
tion display can be called up via: [MIX-
ING CONSOLE]   TAB  [ ][ ] LINE 
OUT. For details, refer to the Reference 
Manual on the website.
To avoid possible damage, first 
turn on the power  to the instru-
ment, then to the external device. 
When turning off the power, first 
turn off the power to the external 
device, then to the instrument. 
Since this instrument’s power 
may automatically  be turned off 
due to the Auto Power Off function 
(page 17), turn o ff the power to 
the external device, or disable 
Auto Power Off when you do not 
intend to operate  the instrument.

Switching the role of the LINE OUT SUB [3]–[4] jacks to AUX OUT jacks
You can switch the role of the LINE OUT SUB [3]–[4] jacks 
to AUX OUT jacks by the instrument’s display called up 
via [MIXING CONSOLE]   TA B  [ ][] LINE OUT. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
Do not route the output from the AUX OUT jacks to the  AUX IN jacks. If you make this connection, the signal 
input at the AUX IN jacks is output from the AUX OUT ja cks, possibly resulting in a feedback loop that will make 
normal performance impossible, and may even damage the equipment.
NOTICE
The output volume from AUX OUT jacks cannot  be controlled by MASTER VOLUME.

Connections – Using Your Instrument with Other Devices –
Playing External Audio Devices with the Tyros5
You can connect the output jacks of an external  device (such as CD player, portable audio 
player, tone generator etc.) to the instrument’s AUX IN [L/L+R]/[R] jacks, letting you 
hear the sound of that device through the headphones or the optional Yamaha TRS-MS05 
speakers of the Tyros5.
By connecting an external monitor to the [RGB OUT] terminal of the instrument, you can 
have the lyrics, text and display of the instrument’s LCD shown on the monitor.
 Selecting display contents for the external monitor
To do this, call up the display via [FUNCTION]   [H] (UTILITY) TA B  [ ][] CON-
FIG 2   [A]/[B] “1 SCREEN CONTENT,” then use the [5 ]/[6] button. When 
you select “LYRICS/TEXT,” the connected m onitor shows the LYRICS or TEXT display 
regardless of what is shown on the instrument ’s LCD. When you select “LCD,” the moni-
tor shows the same contents as  shown on the instrument’s LCD.
To avoid damage to the devices, 
first turn on the power to the 
external device , then to the 
instrument. When  turning off the 
power, first turn off the power to 
the instrument, then to the exter-
nal device.
Use only the [L/L+R] jack for connec-
tion with a monaural device.
The input signal from the AUX IN jacks 
is affected by the setting of the instru-
ment’s [MASTER VOLUME] dial, and 
the volume balance with other parts 
such as entire keyboard can be adjusted 
by the BALANCE display (page 61).
