a cable. An audio loop (oscillation sound) will occur, resulting in damage to the unit.
Audio equipment or
electronic instruments
1 LINE IN STEREO JACK
This jack allows the output from an external audio device, such as a CD or MP3 player, to be mixed with the
sound produced by the ES6 digital piano.
Please use the controls on the external device in order to adjust the volume level of the mixed audio.
2 LINE OUT JACKS
These jacks provide stereo or mono output of the sound produced by the ES6 digital piano to amplifi ers, mixers,
recorders, and similar equipment.
When connecting to a stereo device, use both the L/MONO and R connectors. When connecting to a monaural
device, use only the L/MONO connector. The audio signal from the LINE IN STEREO jack is also routed to
these jacks. In addition, the panel VOLUME slider can be used to control the output level from the LINE OUT
jacks without affecting the level of the LINE IN STEREO audio signal.
3 MIDI JACKS
These jacks are used to connect external MIDI devices with the ES6 digital piano. There are two terminals: MIDI
IN and MIDI OUT.
4 USB PORT
When the ES6 digital piano is connected to a computer via a commercially available USB cable, the ES6 digital
piano will be recognised as a standard MIDI device, allowing the instrument to send and receive MIDI messages
just as with a regular MIDI interface.
Connect a 'B' type USB connector to the ES6 digital piano and an 'A' type USB connector to the computer.
