Before You Start Playing

Connecting Headphones

The RG-7 has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This allows two people to listen through headphones simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and performing piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this allows you to play without bothering others around you, even at night.

1.Plug the headphones into the Phones jack located in the jack panel on the lower left of the RG-7.

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

The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume] knob of the RG-7.

NOTE

Use Stereo headphones.

Some Notes on Using Headphones

To prevent damage to the cord, handle the headphones only by the headset or the plug.

Connecting the headphones when the volume of connected equipment is turned up may result in damage to the headphones. Lower the volume on the RG-7 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 volume level.

Connecting a Microphone

You can connect a microphone into the Mic jack, and enjoy karaoke with the RG-7.

1.Connect a microphone (sold separately) to the Mic jack located in the jack panel on the lower left of the RG-7.

2.Rotate the Mic Volume knob in front of the Mic jack to adjust the volume level for the microphone.

3.Adjust the mic echo (p. 39).

Some Notes on Using a Microphone

Be careful of high volume levels when using microphone late at night or early in the morning.

When connecting a microphone to the RG-7, be sure to lower the volume. If the volume control is too high when the microphone is plugged in, noise may be produced by the speakers.

Howling could be produced depending on the location of microphones relative to speakers. This can be remedied by:

-Changing the orientation of the microphone.

-Relocating microphone at a greater distance from speakers.

-Lowering volume levels.
