OTHER ADVANCED CAPABILITIES

1. USING THE ANYTIME PIANO WITH YOUR HOME AUDIO SYSTEM

The Anytime Piano is equipped with Audio In (AUX IN) and Out (AUX OUT) jacks so that you can connect
it to your home stereo, CD player, Karaoke machine or other device. As an example, you might play your
favorite compact disc song and practice along on the Anytime Piano. The following are examples of advanced
uses for the Anytime Piano.
Connecting the Anytime Piano to an External Amplifier and Speakers
To hear the Anytime Piano's digital sound through
external loudspeakers, connect your home stereo unit
or amplifier and speakers to the Anytime Piano as
L
shown (see Fig.7). You'll need an audio cable with
RCA pin plug at one end and plug appropriate for
LINE IN
your equipment at the other. Note that the Anytime
RCA pin plug
Piano will only produce amplified sound when it is
connected to an amplifier. Speakers alone will not
HOME STEREO
produce amplified sound (unless they are powered
speakers).
Fig 7
In Normal Mode with amplified speakers connected, you'll hear both acoustic sound and digital sound layered
together. In this situation, you may notice that the two types of sound are not in tune with each other. This is
because the Anytime Piano's normal acoustic sound can change over time (due to weather changes and the
normal need for professional tuning). To hear sound that is perfectly in tune, ask your piano tuner to match the
Anytime Piano's acoustic sound with its digital sound.
You may be able to make a rough adjustment in layered tuning by yourself. The tuning function for the digital
tone generator is described on page 12 of this manual.
