Connections
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3)
Use a commercially available connecting cord* to
connect the keyboard to a musical instrument
amplifier.
Phones/Output Terminal
Before connecting phones or other external
equipment, be sure to first turn down the volume
settings of the keyboard and the connected
equipment. You can then adjust volume to the
desired level after connections are complete.
* Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo
mini plug on the end you connect to the
keyboard, and a connector that provides dual
channel (left and right) input to the amplifier to
which you are connecting. The wrong type of
connector at either end can cause one of the stereo
channels to be lost.

NOTE
• You can also connect the keyboard’s MIDI
terminal to a computer or sequencer. See
“Using MIDI” on page E-27 for details.
Audio Equipment (Figure 2)
Connect the keyboard to an audio equipment using
a commercially available connecting cord with a
mini plug on one end and two PIN plugs on the
other end. Note that the mini plug you connect to
the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you
will be able to output only one of stereo channels.
In this configuration, you normally set the input
selector of the audio equipment to the terminal
(usually marked AUX IN or something similar)
where the cord from the keyboard is connected.
See the user documentation that comes with your
audio equipment for full details.
Accessories and Options
Use only the accessories and options specified for
this keyboard. Use of non-authorized items creates
the danger of fire, electric shock, and personal
injury.

Care of your keyboard
Avoid heat, humidity or direct sunlight.
Do not overexpose the instrument to direct sunlight, or place it near an air conditioner, or in any extremely
hot place.
Do not use near a TV or radio.
This instrument can cause video or audio interference with TV and radio reception. If this happens, move the
instrument away from the TV or radio.
Do not use lacquer, thinner or similar chemicals for cleaning.
Clean the keyboard with a soft cloth dampened in a weak solution of water and a neutral detergent. Soak the
cloth in the solution and squeeze until it is almost dry.
Avoid use in areas subjected to temperature extremes.
Extreme heat can cause figures on the LCD screen to become dim and difficult to read. This condition should
correct itself when the keyboard is brought back to normal temperature.
NOTE
• You may notice lines in the finish of the case of this keyboard. These lines are a result of the molding
process used to shape the plastic of the case. They are not cracks or breaks in the plastic, and are no
cause for concern.
