■ AUX IN jack

■ LINE OUT jack

•The AUX IN jack, located on the side of the instrument, can be used to connect an external stereo signal source to the Silent Violin.

Connecting the audio output of a CD player, cassette player, etc. to the instrument allows you to play along with the external audio source.

•The AUX IN jack’s signal level can be controlled with the AUX. VOL control.

•The LINE OUT jack, located on the side panel, delivers the stereo signal of the Silent Violin to external audio equipment.

Use an audio cable to connect the instrument to the audio input jack of external speakers, mixing console, cassette player, etc. to listen from exter- nal audio equipment or recording. You can also connect this jack to the INPUT jack on an elec- tronic tuner and tune the Silent Violin like an elec- tronic instrument using the instrument’s output signal.

•Before connecting the Silent Violin to any external devices, make sure that the power of all related devices is turned OFF. Set the volume level of any external audio sources to the mini- mum level before connecting anything. High volume settings could cause damage to the equip- ment and your hearing.

•If a connection cord is unplugged while the power is ON, it may result in damage to the equip- ment. The sudden shock to your ears may be great, so please use with care.

•Be careful not to step on the cord. The cord may break, equipment may be damaged, and this may cause a substantial shock to your ears.

•The signal from the Silent Violin’s output jacks must NEVER be returned to the AUX IN jack, either directly or through external equipment. Doing so will result in feedback which may cause damage to the internal electronics.

•Commercially available mini plug cables sometimes are equipped with plugs featuring a larger base (grip) diameter (see A in illus- tration on the right) which may cause faulty contact when used with this instrument.

Please make sure to use a audio cable identical to the one sup- plied with the instrument.
