Connecting to Other Devices
The CA59 digital piano features a variety of jacks that allow the instrument to be connected to MIDI devices,
computers, speakers, and mixers. It is also possible to connect external audio sources, such as an MP3 player, tablet,
or a secondary keyboard, to the instrument’s amplifier and speaker system. The illustration below provides a visual
overview of the connectors and their typical applications.

Connect the instrument to a computer or

Connect the audio from
other devices to the
instrument’s speakers.
USB type “B”
USB type “A”
* If there is no USB port of terminal A, a conversion
adapter is required separately for connection.
Before connecting the CA59 digital piano to other devices, ensure that the power to both the instrument and
the other device is turned off. If connections are established while the power is turned on, extraneous noise
that can damage the CA59 digital piano may activate the instrument’s amplifier protection circuit, preventing
any sound from being produced. If this occurs, turn the power off and then on again to reset the amplifier
protection circuit.
Do not connect the LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks of the CA59 digital piano together with the same cable. An
audio loop (oscillation sound) will occur, resulting in damage to the unit.
