Connecting to Other Devices
The CA98/CA78 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 external speakers,
amplifiers, mixers, etc.
Connect the instrument
to MIDI modules, other
instruments/devices, etc.
Connect the instrument
to a computer or tablet
to send or receive MIDI
data.
Connect the audio from
other devices to the
instrument’s speakers.
USB type ‘B’
USB type ‘A’
Before connecting the CA98/CA78 digital piano to other devices, ensure that the power to both the instrument
and the other devic
e is turned off. If connections are established while the power is turned on, extraneous
noise that can damage the CA98/CA78 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 CA98/CA78 digital piano together with the same cable. An
audio loop (oscillation sound) will occur, resulting in damage to the unit.
