Connecting Headphones (Figure 1)

Connecting headphones cuts off output from the keyboard’s built-in speakers, so you can play even late at night without disturbing anyone.

Audio Equipment (Figure 2)

Connect the keyboard to an audio equipment using a commercially available connecting cord with a standard plug on one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. In this configuration, you normally set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that comes with your audio equipment for full details.

Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3)

Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.

❚NOTE

•Be sure to use a connecting cord that has standard plugs on the ends you connect to the keyboard and amplifier.
