Connecting Headphones

The DP-1000 features two headphone jacks. This allows two people to listen through headphones simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and when performing piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this allows you to play without having to worry about bothering others around you, even at night.

1.Connect the headphones to either of the headphone jacks on the underside of the

DP-1000, on the left.

Sound will no longer be heard from the DP-1000’s speakers.

2.Adjust the headphones volume with the

DP-1000’s Volume knob.

■Precautions to Take When Using Headphones

*To avoid damaging or severing the headphone cord, be sure to handle the headphones by holding the phones themselves, and grasping the plug and not the cord when pulling the headphone plug.

*Connecting the headphones when the volume of connected equipment is turned up may result in damage to the headphones. Connect the headphones only after turning the volume down completely.

*Listening at excessively high volume levels will not only damage the headphones, but may also cause hearing loss. Listen at appropriate levels.
