CONNECTING AN

EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER

To amplify your keyboard’s sound, you

can connect it to an optional external

amplifier using an audio cable with a 1/4-

inch (6.4-mm) plug (not supplied).

To connect an external amplifier to your

keyboard, insert the cable’s plug into the

PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the back of

the keyboard, and connect the cable’s

other end to the amplifier’s input jack(s)

(such as AUX IN or TAPE IN).

Your local RadioShack store sells a full

line of amplifiers, speakers, and connec-

tion cables.
