DC IN socket
This is where you need to connect the supplied power
adapter (PSB-4U). Note that you can also purchase
10 optional batteries and use the FR-3 without the
adapter.
Q
MIDI OUT/IN socket
This socket can be used to receive or transmit MIDI
data. Its function depends on the setting of the “MId”
parameter (see p. 50).
R
OUTPUT L/MONO (TREBLE) & R/MONO (BASS) sockets
These sockets can be connected to an amplifier, a
mixing console or a wireless system. If you use both
connectors, the FR-3’s output is stereo. In that case
the signals of the Treble section is transmitted to the
L/MONO socket, while the R/MONO socket transmits
the bass (and chord) signal. If you only use one jack
(connected to the “L” or “R” socket), the FR-3’s output
is mono.
Note: On the FR-3s/FR-3sb, connecting jacks to these sockets
does not mute the internal speakers.
S
PHONES socket
This is where you can connect stereo headphones
(Roland RH-25, RH-50 or RH-200). On the FR-3s/
FR-3sb, connecting a pair of headphones mutes the
internal speakers.
After connecting any cable to the FR-3, be sure to never
place it on the side when not using it.
•Always stand the V-Accordion on its rubber feet (and in
the corresponding direction) to avoid damaging the
plugs.
•Always handle and move the FR-3 with care and pay
special attention to the cable slack to avoid damaging
or bending the cables.
•If you place the FR-3 on your lap, ensure that the audio
and adapter cables run between your legs (not side-
ways) to avoid damaging or bending the cables.
