Connecting to External Devices

Before you connect the P-250 to other electronic components, first set all volume levels to minimum (0), then turn off the power to all com-
ponents.
As a standard practice, before you turn the power on or off to any component, set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, electrical
shock or damage to the components may result.

Connecting to External Audio Equipment

Although the P-250 has built-in speakers, you can connect an external stereo system or powered speak-
ers as a monitor. You can also connect a set of headphones (page 23).
There are several ways to connect the P-250 to external audio equipment, as described in the following
illustrations. Refer to the illustration most similar to your intended setup.

Connecting stereo powered speakers

A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce
the instrument's rich sounds as well as the pan and
effect settings. Connect your powered speakers to the
OUTPUT [L/MONO] and [R] jacks on the rear panel.

connected to the INPUT [L/MONO] and [R] jacks,
allowing the sound of an external instrument to be
reproduced via the P-250's speakers.
