Connecting to a Computer and Other MIDI Devices

CAUTION
First, make sure that all volume settings are turned down all the way to the minimum. Then turn on the every
device in your setup in the order of MIDI master (controllers), MIDI slaves (receivers), then audio equipment
(mixers, amplifiers, speakers, etc.).
When powering down the setup, first turn down the volume for each audio devices, then switch off each device in
the reverse order (first audio devices, then MIDI).

Connecting to External Audio Equipment

The CP300 has built-in speakers. You can also monitor the sound of the instrument by using external
equipment. Connect a set of headphones, powered speakers, or other playback equipment as required.
There are several methods of connecting to external audio equipment, as described in the following
illustrations. The following illustrations show various connection examples; use the one most similar to your
intended setup.
Connecting Stereo Powered Speakers
For optimum, accurate reproduction of the instrument's rich sounds, effects and full stereo image, use a pair of
powered speakers. Connect the powered speakers to the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks on the rear panel.
n When using just one powered speaker, connect it to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack on the rear panel.
n If you are connecting only to the L/MONO jack and want to use a Piano Voice, we recommend that you use the
Mono Piano 1 or Mono Piano 2 Voice for best results.
