Connecting The Fr-18 Diatonic To An Amplifier, Mixer, Etc; Attaching The Straps - Roland V-Accordion FR-18 diatonic Owner's Manual

Connecting the FR-18 diatonic to
an amplifier, mixer, etc.
The FR-18 diatonic needs to be connected to an amplifi-
cation system. If you are using optional batteries and
need to connect the FR-18 diatonic to a PA system or
mixer, we recommend using a commercially available
wireless system to avoid having to use excessively long
signal cables.
You can also use the supplied earphones or a pair of
optional headphones (Roland RH-series).
NOTE
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.
NOTE
When using the supplied earphones, do not set the volume too
high (i.e. past "12 o'clock") to avoid distortion.
1.
Turn the [VOLUME] knob all the way
towards the small dot to minimize the vol-
ume.
2.
Switch off all devices.
3.
Connect the FR-18 diatonic's OUTPUT jacks
to the inputs of your external device.
OUTPUT
L/MONO (Treble) + R/MONO (Bass)
Use either a long signal cable (10m or more) or a commercially available wire-
less system (recommended).
Please choose unbalanced (mono) cables with 1/4"
jacks at one end (for the FR-18 diatonic). The connec-
tors at the other end need to match the input sockets
of the device to which you are connecting the FR-18
diatonic.
NOTE
Be sure to read "Important handling notes" on p. 14.
NOTE
If your amplifier is monaural, you only need to connect the
L/MONO socket.
NOTE
If you use a commercially available wireless transmitter,
the FR-18 diatonic's output signals may distort. In that
case, change the FR-18 diatonic's volume setting.
