Connecting a pair of Headphones

A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for 
private practice or late-night playing.

Jack1:

When a pair of headphones is plugged into the jack 1, the 

sound can be heard from both headphones and speakers of the 
instrument.

Jack2:

When a pair of headphones is plugged into the jack 2, the 

internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off. The sound 
can only be heard from headphones.

Note:

To avoid the risk of hearing loss when using headphones,please do 
not play the piano with a high volume level for a long time.

Connecting an Audio Equipment

The rear-panel AUX OUT jack delivers the output of the instrument 
for connection to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, a 
mixing console, or tape recorder.

Use an audio cable to plug into the AUX OUT jack located on the 
rear board, then plug the other end of the cord into AUX IN of the 
amplifier.

Note:

To avoid damaging the speakers, please ensure that the volume 
has been set to the minimum level before connecting the power and 
other devices.

Connecting a MP3/CD Player

Connect the audio output of an MP3/CD player or other audio 
Source to the stereo AUX IN jack on the rear panel.
The input signal is mixed with the piano signal, allowing you to play 
along.

Device

MIDI OUT Connector

Connect the instrument MIDI OUT terminal to the external device 
MIDI IN terminal via the MIDI cables. MIDI messages generated by 
the instrument will be transmitted to another MIDI device. Now this 
instrument will be used as MIDI Controller. 

USB Connector

By connecting a PC to the [USB] terminal, you can transfer data 
between the instrument and the computer via USB cables.
For example, you can save your instrument performance data on 
the computer and playback your MIDI file from computer through 
piano.

Note:

when you are setting the software on the computer. Otherwise the
