Using Your Instrument with Other Devices

[AUX OUT (LEVEL FIXED)] Jacks
(RCA pin jacks of [L]and [R])
When these are connected (with RCA pin plug; LEVEL
FIXED), the sound is output to the external device at a
fixed level, regardless of the [MASTER VOLUME] con-
trol setting. Use these when controlling volume with an
external audio system, or recording the instrument’s
sound to an external audio system. Connect the instru-
ment’s AUX OUT [L]/[R] (LEVEL FIXED) jacks and the
AUX IN jacks of an external audio system using appro-
priate audio cables.
[OPTICAL OUT] Terminal (CVP-305)
This is used for optical output of digital audio (fre-
quency: 44.1kHz) for highest sound quality. The output
level from the [OPTICAL OUT] terminal is fixed and is
unaffected by the master volume control on the instru-
ment. Use an appropriate optical cable to connect this
terminal to the optical digital input terminal of a minid-
isk (MD) recorder or CD recorder. (Make sure the con-
nectors of the cable match the terminals on both
devices.)
Since digital transfer allows you record a clear, noise-
free signal with no degradation or distortion, you can
record your favorite performances with the highest pos-
sible quality.
4 Playing External Audio Devices with
the Built-in Speakers ([AUX IN] Jacks)
The stereo outputs from another instrument can be con-
nected to these jacks, allowing the sound of an external
instrument to be reproduced via the instrument’s speak-
ers. Connect the output jacks (LINE OUT etc.) of an
external synthesizer or the tone generator module and
the instrument’s AUX IN [L/L+R]/[R] jacks using appro-
priate audio cables.
n
• Use only the [L/L+R] jack for connection with a monaural device.
•The instrument’s [MASTER VOLUME] setting affects the input
signal from the [AUX IN] jacks.
