Connecting to Your Audio System
The Audio Output jacks are professional 1/4-inch ÒphoneÓ jacks so if you are
connecting to an audio system with ÒRCAÓ jacks, you will need two Òphone plug-to-
RCA plugÓ adapter cables. Remember: always lower the volume of your audio
system when changing audio connectionsÑor better yet, turn the power off!
CAUTION
: Be sure to lower the volume of your audio system or switch it off when changing
audio connections!
The source impedance of the audio output jacks is 1000 ohms, so they can drive
relatively long cables if needed. If connecting to a mixer, use a high-impedance,
unbalanced line input. If using a keyboard ampliÞer, its normal input should be Þne. If
using a home stereo system, inputs marked Aux should work well but Tuner and CD
inputs are generally OK. A guitar ampliÞer may work if it has Line or Aux inputs.
Avoid using a Guitar input though, it will likely be way too noisy and may distort
your sound.
Changing to Mono Output
By default, the Stage Piano produces stereo audio signals. In cases requiring a mono
signal, use the following procedure to change the outputs to mono:
1. Make sure you are starting from Internal Voices Play mode. This is the default
right after power on. Only the Internal Voices LED and one of the sound LEDs
will be on.
2. Press the
Play/Edit
button once.
3. Press the
Col Select
(Column Select) button twice. Both of the parameter-
column
LEDs should be off after doing so. (See
on page 2-12 if you donÕt know what we mean by Òparameter-column
LEDs.Ó)
4. The top parameter-
row
LED should be blinking and the display should show

(mono). If not, press

repeatedly until this
is achieved.
5. To change the selection, press the
Up
arrow button or the
Down
arrow button.
6. If you would like for this change to be remembered next time power is turned
on, press the
Store
button twice. Otherwise it will revert to the previous setting
next time power is turned on.
7. Press
Play/Edit
to return to Play mode.
The above sequence may seem complicated, but after reading Chapter 3 it will seem
quite simple and logical. When in mono mode, the left and right jacks produce the
same signal.
