Aux Input
The Aux Input allows you to connect an MP3 or CD player to the RP355 and jam with your
favorite artists. The signal from your MP3 or CD player is output through the left, right, and
headphone outputs of the RP355. To use the Aux Input, connect the headphone output of your
MP3 or CD player to the Aux Input on the rear panel of the RP355 using an 1/8" stereo cable,
and press play on your MP3 or CD player. Use the playing device’s volume control and the
RP355’s Master Level knob to balance the levels.
The Aux Input is also used for capturing audio using the Learn-A-Lick
TM
feature. See more about
using Learn-A-Lick in the next section.
Learn-A-Lick

• Stop (Controlled by the Down Footswitch)
• Rewind (Controlled by the Up Footswitch)
• Play (Controlled by the Down Footswitch)

• Playback Speed (Controlled with the Edit buttons)
