headphones.
3. Connect the external MIDI device with the MIDI cable as
shown in the figure below.
4. As described in "Turning On the Power" (p. 24), turn on

device's transmit channel.
For instructions on setting the RD-700's Receive channel,
refer to "Setting the Receive Channel (Receive Channel)"

When both channels are matched, playing the external MIDI
device produces sounds from the RD-700's sound generator.
