LINE IN jacks (1/4” phone jack)
These jacks are used to connect a pair of stereo outputs
from other electronic instruments or audio equipment to
the instrument’s speakers. The audio signal from these jacks
bypasses the MASTER VOLUME control, however the the LINE
IN level can be adjusted using the adjustment knob, or by
adjusting the output level of the connected device. To connect
a device in mono, connect the cable to the L/MONO jack only.
LINE OUT jacks (1/4” phone jack)
These jacks provide stereo output of the instrument’s sound
to external speakers, amplifiers, mixers, recording devices, and
similar equipment. The audio signal from the LINE IN jacks is
also routed to these jacks. The MASTER VOLUME slider can be
used to control the output level of the instrument’s own sound
without affecting the level of the LINE IN signal. Mono signals
will be output only if a cable is connected to the L/MONO jack.
USB to Host port (‘B’ type)
This USB port is used to connect the CS6 digital piano to a
computer using an inexpensive USB cable. When connected,
the instrument can be used as a standard MIDI device,
allowing it to send a receive MIDI data. Connect a ‘B’ type USB
connector to the instrument, and an ‘A’ type USB connector to
the computer.
MIDI IN/OUT/THRU jacks
These jacks are used to connect the CS6 digital piano to
external MIDI devices, and also to a computer with a MIDI
interface as an alternative to the ‘USB to Host’ port.
LINE IN STEREO jack (1/8” mini jack)
This jack is used to connect the stereo output from an external
audio device, such as a CD or MP3 player, to the instrument’s
speakers. The LINE IN adjustment knob cannot be used to
adjust the LINE IN level, therefore please use the volume
controls on device itself.
PHONES jacks (1/4” phone jack)
These jacks are used to connect stereo headphones to the CS6
digital piano. Two pairs of headphones can be connected and
used simultaneously. When a pair of headphones is connected,
sound will not be produced by the speakers.
USB to Device port (‘A’ type)
This USB port is used to connect a USB memory device to the
CS6 digital piano. This allows MP3/WAV audio files, and SMF
song files to be played directly. It is also possible to record
performances to MP3/WAV audio files, and save recorder
songs stored in internal memory for posterity.
The ‘USB to Device’ functionality of the CS6 digital piano
conforms to USB2.0 Hi-Speed standards. Older USB devices
can still be used, however data transfer speed will be limited
to the maximum transfer speed of the device.
The ‘USB to Device’ port is intended for connecting USB
memory devices. USB floppy drive devices can be used
to save recorder songs stored in internal memory, or play
SMF song files, yet are not suitable for MP3/WAV audio file
playback or recording.
It may be necessary to format the USB memory device
before it can be used with the CS6 digital piano. If so,
please refer to the ‘Format’ function instructions on page
81. Formatting the device will erase all data.
Avoid removing the USB memory device while data is being
loaded or saved, files are being renamed or deleted, or the
device is being formatted.
Other USB devices, such as computer mice, keyboards, or
battery chargers etc. cannot be used with this instrument.
