By connecting a microphone or guitar to the [MIC./LINE IN] jack (standard 1/4"
phone jack), you can enjoy singing along with your own performance or playing
guitar along with Song playback. The instrument outputs your vocals or guitar
sounds through the built-in speakers. The following instructions show how to
connect a microphone. Please note that when connecting a guitar or other devices of
high output level, make sure to set the [MIC. LINE] switch to “LINE.”
1Set the [INPUT VOLUME] knob to the minimum position.
2Connect the microphone to the [MIC./LINE IN] jack.
3Set the [MIC. LINE] switch to “MIC.”
4(For microphones having a power source, turn on the power

first.) Adjust the [INPUT VOLUME] knob while singing into the

microphone.

Adjust the control while checking the SIGNAL and OVER lamps. The SIGNAL
lamp lights to indicate that an audio signal is being received. Make sure to
adjust the INPUT VOLUME so that this lamp is light. The OVER lamp lights
when the input level is too high. Make sure to adjust the INPUT VOLUME so
that this lamp does not light.
Connecting a Microphone or Guitar
NOTE
Make sure you have a conventional
dynamic microphone.
NOTE
Always set the INPUT VOLUME to
minimum when nothing is connected
to the [MIC./LINE IN] jack. Since the
[MIC./LINE IN] jack is highly sensi-
tive, it may pick up and produce noise
even when nothing is connected.
