Chapter 11 Connecting External Devices

You can connect the KR to external devices such as audio
equipment, MIDI instruments and computer.

❍ Connecting an External Display or Television

You can connect a computer monitor or other external
display or a television to the KR, enabling you to display the
Song Select screen, your favorite images, song lyrics, and
notations on a larger screen.
❍ Connecting Video Equipment (p. 187)
With a V-LINK compatible device connected, you can switch
images with the keyboard.
❍Connecting MIDI Devices (p. 188)
You can connect a MIDI sequencer and record performance
data from the KR, or play performance data from the KR on
the sequencer. Also, when you connect a MIDI sound
module, you can perform on the KR and hear the sounds
played through the MIDI sound module.
❍ Connecting Audio Equipment (p. 191)
The KR has high-quality built-in stereo speakers, but you can
also hook it up a stereo system for an even more impressive
sound.
You can also connect it to a tape recorder or other recording
equipment and record your performances.
❍ Connecting a Computer (p. 195)
You can use a sequencer program to record performance
data from the KR and play performance data from the
program on the KR.

Connect the Expression pedal to the Expression Pedal
jack on the jack panel of the KR.

separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you
risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.
Connecting an External
Display or Television
You can connect a computer monitor or other external
display or a television to the KR, enabling you to display the
Song Select screen, your favorite images, song lyrics, and
notations on a larger screen.
→ You can switch screens with the remote control. For details,
see "Using the Remote Control" (p. 84).
You cannot simultaneously use both an external
display and a television with the KR. Moreover,
neither the external display nor the television will be
able to display properly if both are connected at the
same time.
When using an external display, connect the display to
the Ext Display connector, but do not connect a
television to the Video Out connector.
If using a television, connect the television to the Video
Out connector, but do not connect any external display
to the Ext Display connector.

"Changing the Settings for Showing Images with the
External Display and the Television (External Display)" (p.
