Before connecting headphones or other external equipment, be sure
to first turn down the volume settings of the keyboard and the con-
nected equipment. You can then adjust volume to the desired level
after connections are complete.

Connecting Headphones (Figure

1)
Connecting headphones cuts off output from the keyboards built-in
speakers, so you can play even late at night without disturbing any-
one.
Audio Equipment (Figure

2)
Connect the keyboard to a audio equipment using a commercially
available connecting cord with a standard plug on one end and two
PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the standard plug you connect
to the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you will be able to
output only one of stereo channels. In this configuration, you nor-
mally set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal
(usually marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from
the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that comes
with your audio equipment for full details.
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure

3)
Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the keyboard
to a musical instrument amplifier.
NOTE
Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo standard plug on the
end you connect to the keyboard, and a connector that provides dual chan-
nel (left and right) input to the amplifier to which you are connecting. The
wrong type of connector at either end can cause one of the stereo chan-
nels to be lost.
When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the volume of
the keyboard to a relatively low level and make output volume ad-
justments using the amplifiers controls.
Connection Example
Connecting to a Computer or Other
Equipment
You can also connect the keyboard to a computer or sequencer. See
MIDI on page E-36 for details.
Assignable jack Terminal
You can connect an optional sustain pedal (SP-2 or SP-10) to the AS-
SIGNABLE JACK terminal to enable the capabilities described be-
low.
For details on how to select the pedal function you want, see AS-
SIGNABLE JACK on page E-39.
Sustain Pedal
With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to linger, much
like a pianos damper pedal.
With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to continue to
sound until the pedal is released.
Sostenuto Pedal
As with the sustain pedal function described above, depressing
the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained.
This difference between a sostenuto pedal and sustain pedal is the
timing. With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys and then de-
press the pedal before you release the keys. Only the notes that are
sounding when the pedal is depressed are sustained.
Soft Pedal
Depressing the pedal softens the sound of the notes being played.
Rhythm Start/Stop Pedal
In this case, the pedal performs the same functions as the START/
STOP button.
Accessories and Options
Use only the accessories and options specified for this keyboard. Use
of non-authorized items creates the danger of fire, electrical shock,
and personal injury.
