Before making any connections, make sure that all equipment to
be connected is turned off, and that the P50-m power adaptor is
not connected to an electrical outlet.
Connect one end of the MIDI cable to the MIDI OUT
terminal of the MIDI keyboard and the other to the MIDI IN
terminal of the P50-m (as shown in the illustration below).
Also, make sure that the MIDI send channel on the
keyboard and the MIDI Receive Channel on the P50-m (see
page 17) are set to the same value. (Refer to the owner's
manual of the MIDI keyboard if necessary.)
Connect the audio cables from the R and L/MONO OUTPUT
jacks of the P50-m to the appropriate inputs on the amplifier
speaker system (as shown in the illustration below).
If the amplifier has only one input, use the L/MONO jack
on the P50-m. If you are using stereo headphones,
connect them to the front panel PHONES jack.
Connect the power adaptor to the DC IN terminal on the
P50-m and plug the adaptor into an appropriate electrical
outlet.
