CONNECTING WITH AUDIO EQUIPMENT OR
OTHER ELECTRONIC MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
The FP-9 has high-quality built-in stereo speakers that let you easily enjoy performing, but you can also hook up a stereo system,
and enjoy performances that are even more impressive. You can also record what you play on a tape recorder or the like.
Before you connect any external equipment, be sure that the power to the FP-9 is off.
Playing Audio Equipment or Other Digital Instruments
Through the FP-9's Speakers—The Line In Jacks and Line In
Level Knob
If you want to play along on the keyboard with the sound from an audio device such as a CD player or an electronic instrument
like a rhythm machine, then connect the L and R Line In jacks to the corresponding L and R Output (or Line Out) jacks on the
external device.
You can also hook up a device with no built-in speakers (such as a microphone or a guitar),
and hear it through the FP-9's
speakers.
