Roland KR-11 Opening and closing the lid, Connecting Headphones, Notes on using headphones

KR-11 Owner’s Manual—Before using the KR-11

Take care not to allow fingers to be caught or pinched when opening and closing the lid. Make sure an adult is on hand to provide assistance when young children are playing the KR-11.

For safety, transport the KR-11 only with the lid in the closed position.

3.4 Opening and closing the lid

The KR-11’s lid can be raised and closed like on an acoustic grand piano. Though this is mainly intended to help you obtain a better spread of the sound, it also changes the KR-11’s tone color.

1.Carefully raise the lid with one hand, taking care to get a secure grip.

2.Fold out the supporting leg.

3.Lower the lid until you are sure it is supported by the leg.

Here’s what your KR-11 should look like once the lid is in place:

Note: If you are not sure how to raise the lid, ask your Roland dealer to show you how it’s done.

When opening the lid, be careful not to open it too far. Opening the lid to greater than the provided the supporting legs permit may damage the unit, or cause the lid to drop. Also, before opening the lid, make sure that no one is in the path of the lid as it is opened.

3.5 Connecting Headphones

The KR-11 has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This allows two people to listen through headphones simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and when performing piano pieces for four hands. Addi- tionally, this allows you to play without having to worry about bothering others around you, even at night.

Plug the headphones into a Phones jack located at the bottom left of the piano.

Connecting headphones will automatically mute the sound from the internal speakers.

The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume] knob (p. 11) of the KR-11.

Note: Be sure to use stereo headphones (such as the Roland RH-25 or RH-50).

Notes on using headphones

•To prevent damage to the cord, handle the head- phones only by the headset or the plug.

•Connecting the headphones when the volume of con- nected equipment is turned up may result in damage to the headphones. Lower the volume on the KR-11 before plugging in the headphones.

•Listening at excessively high volume levels will not only damage the headphones, but may also cause hearing loss. Use the headphones at a moderate vol- ume level.
