Using Your Instrument with Other Devices

Using Headphones

(1 [PHONES] jacks)

Connect a pair of headphones to one of the [PHONES]
jacks (standard 1/4" phone jacks) located on the leftward
underside of the instrument. For details, see page 17.

Connecting a Microphone or

Guitar (2 [MIC./LINE IN] jack)

By connecting a microphone to the [MIC./LINE IN] jack
(standard 1/4" phone jack) located on the left underside
of the instrument, you can enjoy singing along with
Song playback (KARAOKE) or with your own perfor-
mance. The instrument outputs your vocals or guitar
sounds through the built-in speakers. For instructions on
connecting, see page 54. Please note that when con-
necting devices of high output level, make sure to set
the [MIC. LINE] switch to “LINE.”

Connecting Audio & Video

Devices (345)

n
Use audio cables and adaptor plugs having no (zero) resistance.
Using External Audio Devices for play-
back and Recording (3 [AUX OUT]
Jacks, [AUX OUT (LEVEL FIXED)] Jacks)
You can connect these jacks to a stereo system to
amplify the instrument’s sound or to a cassette tape
recorder or a digital audio device for recording your
performance. The microphone or guitar sound con-
nected to the instrument’s [MIC./LINE IN] jack) is output
at the same time. Refer to the diagrams below and use
audio cables for connection. These jacks are located on
the underside jacks panel of the instrument.
[AUX OUT] Jacks
(Standard phone jacks of [L/L+R] and [R])
When these are connected, you can use the instru-
ment’s [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the vol-
ume of the sound output to the external device.
Connect the instrument’s AUX OUT [L/L+R]/[R] jacks
and the input jacks of a pair of powered speakers using
appropriate audio cables. Use only the [L/L+R] jack for
connection with a monaural device.
CAUTION
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic
components, turn off the power of all the components.
Also, before turning any components on or off, make sure
to set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, elec-
trical shock or damage to the components may occur.

CAUTION
When the instrument’s sound is output to an external
device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to
the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the
power off.
Do not route the output from the [AUX OUT] [AUX OUT
(LEVEL FIXED)] jacks to the [AUX IN] jacks. If you make
this connection, the signal input at the [AUX IN] jacks is
output from the [AUX OUT] [AUX OUT (LEVEL FIXED)]
jacks. These connections could result in a feedback loop
that will make normal performance impossible, and may
even damage both pieces of equipment.
