Connecting An External Display (Hpi-7Le Only) - Roland HPi-7 Owner's Manual

Connecting an External Display
(HPi-7LE only)
You can connect a computer display or other such external
display to the instrument, and display scores and lyrics on
the larger screen.
Displays That Can Be Connected to This
Instrument
In general, a great many of the VGA displays and multiscan
displays that are available on the market are compatible
with this instrument. However, before you connect any
display, make sure it meets the following specifications:
• Resolution
• Horizontal scan frequency 31.5 kHz
• Vertical scan frequency
• Connector
• Signal
* An externally connected display will
mirror the content of the HPi-7LE's
onboard display. When connected, the
screen is blank at the top and bottom,
as shown in the figure.
* Confirm that the display to be used is compatible with the
frequencies mentioned above. Using a display that is not
compatible with the above frequencies may result in
incorrect image output when images move, and in certain
cases may even damage the display.
Making the Connections
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the
power on all devices before making any connections.

* When using the HPi-7LE with a display placed on it, be sure
to note the following precautions.
• Make sure the display sits stably on the HPi-7LE before
use.
• If you are placing the display on top of the HPi-7LE, we
recommend using a liquid crystal display (LCD). If
using a cathode ray tube (CRT) display, take extra care
to ensure that the display rests stably on the instrument.
• Keep the base of the display within one of the areas
shown by the dotted lines in the illustration below.
