52 PF-500
Connections
Do not route the output from
the AUX OUT jacks to the
AUX IN jacks. That is, when
you connect an external
audio device to the AUX
OUT jacks, do not connect
the audio device to the PF-
500’s AUX IN jacks. If you
make this connection, the
signal input at the AUX IN
jacks will be output from
AUX OUT. This creates an
audio loop, causing audio
oscillation and abnormal
playback, and leading to
malfunction of both pieces
of equipment.
Use audio cables and adap-
tor plugs with no resistance.
The PF-500’s [MASTER
VOLUME] setting will not
affect the sound that is out-
put from AUX OUT (LEVEL
FIXED).
2AUX OUT [R][L] Pin jacks (LEVEL FIXED), [R][L/L+R] Phone jacks
These jacks let you connect the PF-500 to your stereo system etc. to play at
higher volumes, or connect a cassette recorder etc. to record your playing.
Use audio cables to make connections as shown in the diagram.
CAUTION
When the PF-500’s AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external audio system,
first turn on the power to the PF-500, then to the external audio system. Reverse
this order when you turn the power off.
