• To prevent the
inadvertent disruption of
power to your unit
(should the plug be
pulled out accidentally),
and to avoid applying
undue stress to the AC
adaptor jack, anchor the
power cord using the
cord hook, as shown in
the illustration.
• Audio cables, MIDI
cables, and stereo
headphones are not
included. You will need
to purchase these items
from your dealer.
• Use only the specified
expression pedal (EV-5;
sold separately). By
connecting any other
expression pedals, you
risk causing malfunction
and/or damage to the
unit.
To prevent malfunction
and/or damage to speakers
or other devices, always
turn down the volume, and
turn off the power on all
devices before making any
connections.
