AOUTPUT R, L/MONO sockets

The C-190 boasts an excellent internal stereo ampli- fier and speaker system and so doesn’t require an external amplification. There may be times, however, when you need to use the public address system of the hall or church where you are performing – or you may want to record the C-190’s sound without back- ground noises. In those cases, use these sockets.

BEXP/SUST socket

This is where you can connect an optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch that allows you to hold the notes you are playing on the keyboard. The sustain function is only available for the orchestral sounds.

Alternatively, you can connect an optional Roland EV-5 or FV-300L pedal to this socket that can be used for setting the MANUAL II division’s volume.

CMIDI sockets (PEDAL IN, IN, OUT)

Use these connectors for transmitting (OUT) and receiving (IN) MIDI messages to/from other instru- ments.

The PEDAL IN socket allows you to connect an optional Roland MIDI pedal unit (PK-5A, PK-25 or PK-7) so as to play the bass section (called “PEDAL”) with your feet. If you connect a pedal unit here, the PEDAL section becomes polyphonic.

DCord hook

After connecting the adapter cable, wind it around the cord hook to the right of the socket to prevent accidental power disruptions.

EDC IN connector

This where you need to connect the supplied PSB-4U adapter. If it is damaged or out of order, be sure to replace it with the same PSB-4U model. Do not use other adapters as these may damage your C-190 beyond repair.

FPOWER SWITCH button

Press this button once to switch the C-190 on. Press it again to switch the C-190 off.

Headphone sockets

The C-190 features two headphone sockets, allowing two people to listen through headphones simultaneously, which is useful for lessons. Using headphones allows you to play without bothering others around you, even at night. By connecting a jack to one of these sockets, you switch off the C-190’s speak- ers.

For optimum sound quality, be sure to use optional Roland

RH-25, RH-50 or RH-200 headphones.
