Roland RG-7 manual Connecting an External Display, Making the Connections

Chapter 2. Using the RG-7 with an External Display or Television

You can connect a computer monitor or other external display or a television to the RG-7, enabling you to display the Song Select screen, your favorite images, song lyrics, and notations on a larger screen.

You cannot simultaneously use both an external display and a television with the RG-7. Moreover, neither the external display nor the television will be able to display properly if both are connected at the same time.

When using an external display, connect the display to the Ext Display connector, but do not connect a television to the Video Out connector.

If using a television, connect the television to the Video Out connector, but do not connect any external display to the Ext Display connector.

For more information about external display settings, refer to “Selecting What is To Be Displayed on the External Display or Television” (p. 50).
