• 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.
• To prevent the
inadvertent disruption
of power to your unit
(should the plug be
pulled out
accidentally), and to
avoid applying undue
stress to the AC adaptor
jack, anchor the power
cord using the cord
hook, as shown in the
illustration.
• Use only the specified
expression pedal (EV-5;
sold separately). By
connecting any other
expression pedals, you
risk causing
malfunction and/or
damage to the unit.
• Audio cables, MIDI
cables, and stereo
headphones are not
included. You will need
to purchase these items
from your dealer.
• In order to take full
advantage of the RS-50's
performance, we
recommend using a
stereo amp/speaker
system, If you are using a
mono system, make you
connections to the
OUTPUT jack L (MONO).
• CONTROL PEDAL jack
can also accommodate
pedal switches.
