Connections

Phones/Output Jack

Before connecting headphones 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.

Connecting Headphones (Figure 1 )
Connecting headphones cuts off output from the keyboard's
built-in speakers, so you can play even late at night without
disturbing anyone.
Audio Equipment (Figure 2 )
Connect the keyboard to an audio equipment using a
commercially available connecting cord with a standard plug
on one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. 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.
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3 )
Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the
keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.
NOTE
• Be sure to use a connecting cord that has standard plugs on
the ends you connect to the keyboard and amplifier.

Sustain Jack

You can connect an optional sustain pedal to the SUSTAIN
jack to enable the capabilities described below. The sustain
pedal is available at www.RadioShack.com or 1-800-THE-
SHACK (843-7422).

Sustain Pedal
• With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to
linger, much like a piano's damper pedal.
• With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to
continue to sound until the pedal is released.

Using the Microphone Jack

Connecting a microphone (not supplied, available at your
local RadioShack store) to the MIC jack makes it possible to
sing along with the keyboard's built-in tunes or with output
from a MIDI device. When connecting a microphone, be sure
to first adjust the MIC VOLUME to a relatively low setting,
and then adjust to the level you want after connecting.
1.
Set the MIC VOLUME knob setting so it is on the
"MIN" side.
2.
Turn on the microphone's ON/OFF switch.
