1Using External Audio Devices for

Playback and Recording

([OUTPUT] Jacks, [AUX OUT (LEVEL

FIXED)] Jacks, [OPTICAL OUT] Jack)

You can connect these jacks to a stereo system to
amplify the instrument’s sound or to a cassette tape
recorder or an audio device for recording your perfor-
mance. The microphone or guitar sound connected 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.

[OUTPUT] 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 OUTPUT [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.

[AUX OUT (LEVEL FIXED)] Jacks

(RCA pin jacks of [L]and [R])
When these are connected (with RCA pin plug; LEVEL
FIXED), the sound is output to the external device at a
fixed level, regardless of the [MASTER VOLUME] con-
trol setting. Use these when controlling volume with an
external audio system, or recording the instrument’s
sound to an external audio system. Connect the instru-
ment’s AUX OUT [L]/[R] (LEVEL FIXED) jacks and the
AUX IN jacks of an external audio system using appro-
priate audio cables.

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 [OUTPUT] [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 [OUTPUT] [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.
