■ AUX IN jack | ■ LINE OUT jack |
•The AUX IN jack, located on the rear of the in- strument, can be used to connect an external ste- reo signal source to the Silent Bass.
Connecting the audio output of a CD player, cassette player, etc. to the instrument allows you to play along with the external audio source.
•The AUX IN jack’s signal level can be controlled with the AUX IN level control.
•The VOLUME control is used to adjust the to- tal level of the output signal. This signal con- tains the AUX IN signal that is controled by the AUX IN level control knob too.
•The 
/LINE OUT jack located on the rear panel provides stereo output for the Silent Bass (the bass signal is mono while the AUX IN sig- nal is stereo).
When a device other than headphones is used for monitoring the instrument, use an optional stereo phone plug cable (or monaural phone plug cable) to connect the instrument to the audio input jack of a bass amplifier, external powered speaker, mixing console, etc., to listen from ex- ternal audio equipment or recording. You can also connect this jack to the INPUT jack on an electronic tuner and tune the Silent Bass like an electronic instrument using the instrument’s out- put signal.
•Before connecting the Silent Bass to any external devices, make sure that the power of all related devices is turned OFF. Set the volume level of any external audio sources to the mini- mum level before connecting anything. High volume settings could cause damage to the equip- ment and your hearing.
•If a connection cord is unplugged while the power is ON, it may result in damage to the equip- ment. The sudden shock to your ears may be great, so please use with care.
•Be careful not to step on the cord. The cord may break, equipment may be damaged, and this may cause a substantial shock to your ears.
•The signal from the Silent Bass’s output jacks must NEVER be returned to the AUX IN jack, either directly or through external equipment. Doing so will result in feedback which may cause damage to the internal electronics.
•When a powered speaker is connect to the 
/LINE OUT jack, speakers with inadequate power ratings may distort due to the low frequencies produced by the instrument. For suffi- cient headroom, used powered speakers with a power rating of 50 watts or more.
