Getting Ready

Placing the VR-700 on the KS-G8 Stand

If you place the VR-700 on a stand, you must use the KS-G8 (sold separately).

•When placing the VR-700 on the stand, be careful not to pinch your fingers between the instrument and the stand.

•When lifting the VR-700 onto the stand, make sure to enlist the help of at least one other person.

•Using the VR-700 with any other stand may produce an unstable situation, possibly causing the instrument to fall or overturn, and resulting in injury or damage.

•For details on how to assemble the stand, refer to the owner’s manual that accompanied the stand.

•Position rubber feet “A” on the outside of the stand’s rubber pads.

•Position rubber feet “B” directly above the stand’s arms.

•Position rubber feet “C” so that they contact the inside of the stand’s rubber pads.

* Make sure that the VR-700’s six rubber feet (A–C) are not resting on the stand’s rubber pads.

Connecting the Power Cord
