The rear side of the ES520 digital piano features a variety of jacks that allow the instrument 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 ES520’s amplifier and speaker system. The illustration below
provides a visual overview of the instrument’s connectors and typical applications.
Before connecting the ES520 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 ES520 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 STEREO and LINE OUT jacks of the ES520 digital piano together with the same cable. An
audio loop (oscillation sound) will occur, resulting in damage to the unit.
