2.After plugging the power cable included with your instrument into the AC IN jack, plug the other end into a wall socket.

Note: If you are not going to use the instrument for some time, unplug the power cord from the socket.

A few seconds after turning the power on you will be able to hear the notes you play on the keyboard.

Note: In order to protect its circuits, the instrument requires a few moments after powering up before it is ready for oper- ation.

3.4 Using headphones

You can connect one or two pairs of stereo headphones (preferably Roland RH-25, RH-50) that carry the same signal as the one sent to the OUTPUT R, L/ MONO jacks. Connecting a pair of headphones to one of the PHONES jack turns off the built-in speakers. There are two jacks, so that two pairs of headphones can be connected.

The volume of the headphones can be adjusted using the main [VOLUME] knob.

Note: Please use stereo headphones, preferably the Roland RH-50, RH-25.

Note: Listening at excessive volume levels for extended periods may result in impaired hearing – please take appropriate caution.

3.5Connecting external amplifiers and other devices

If the KR-3’s amplification system doesn’t deliver enough power for your application, you can take advantage of its OUTPUT jacks.

Sending audio to external equipment

Before connecting the KR-3 to another piece of equip- ment, turn off the power to both devices.

If you wish to amplify the KR-3 through an external system, or record your music using a tape recorder, connect the KR-3’s OUTPUT jacks to the AUX IN, LINE IN, or CH IN jacks of the external (keyboard) amplifier, mixer, or tape deck.

To the AUX IN/LINE IN jacks of the external amplifier/

mixer, etc.

Note: If you are connecting the KR-3 to a device with a monaural input, be sure to use the L/MONO jack.

Note: For cassette decks or HiFi amplifiers, you need audio leads with mono jacks at one end and (usually) RCA/cinch jacks at the other.
