<Procedure>

❶Before you make connections, make sure that power is turned off for all devices.

✳If the power is on when you make connections, you may damage your speakers.

❷Connect supplied AC power cable to the XP-80, and plug the other end into an AC power out- let.

✳On 117V models the AC cable is permanently attached to the unit.

❸Connect audio cables and MIDI cables as shown in the diagram. If you are using headphones, plug them into the PHONES jack. Connect pedal switches or expression pedals as necessary.

✳In order to take full advantage of the XP-80’s performance, we recommend using a stereo amp/speaker system, If you are using a mono system, make you connections to the MIX OUT- PUT jack L.

✳CONTROL PEDAL 1–4 jacks can also accommodate pedal switches.
