About the 1/4” phone jack OUTPUT connectors

If you connect a cable only to the L/MONO jack of the phone jacks, the sound of the left and right channels will be mixed and output in monaural.

*The stereo signal will be output from the XLR connectors.

*We recommend that you use stereo output. If you use monaural output, the quality and character of the sound may be affected, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

Connecting an Amp and Speakers

1.Make sure that both the VR-700 and the equipment you intend to connect are switched off.

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

2.Use audio cables to connect the VR-700’s rear panel OUTPUT connectors to your playback equipment (amplified speakers, mixer, etc.).

*Audio cables are not included. If you want to purchase these items, please contact the dealer where you purchased the VR-700.

Connecting Headphones

1.Connect your headphones to the PHONES jack on the VR-700’s rear panel.

*Use headphones that have a 1/4” stereo plug.
