Connections
Phones/Output Terminal
Before connecting phones or other external
equipment, be sure to first turn down the volume
settings of the keyboard and the connected
equipment. You can then adjust volume to the
desired level after connections are complete.
[Rear Panel]
Connecting Phones (Figure 1)
Connecting phones cuts off output from the
keyboards built-in speakers, so you can play even
late at night without disturbing anyone.
Audio Equipment (Figure 2)
Connect the keyboard to an audio equipment using
a commercially available connecting cord with a
mini plug on one end and two PIN plugs on the
other end. Note that the mini 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 normally 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.
* Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo
mini plug on the end you connect to the
keyboard, and a connector that provides dual
channel (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
channels to be lost.
When connecting to a musical instrument
amplifier, set the volume of the keyboard to a
relatively low level and make output volume
adjustments using the amplifiers controls.
