Output Jacks
Use audio cables (sold separately) to connect the F-90 to an
audio device so that the sound of the F-90 can be hear from
the speakers of the audio device, or so that your performance
can be recorded on a cassette tape or other recording media.
Input Jacks
You can use audio cables (sold separately) to connect another
audio producing device to the F-90, and hear its sound
through the speakers of the F-90.
Making the Connections
NOTE
To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the
power on all devices before making any connections.
1.
Turn the volume down completely on all
equipment.
2.
Turn off the F-90 and any other devices to be
connected.
3.
Use audio cables (sold separately) to connect the
other device to the F-90.
NOTE
If the device you are connecting is monaural, connect it to the
L (Mono) jack. In this case, do not connect the R jack of the F-
90.
NOTE
Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using
some other make of connection cable, please note the
following precautions.
Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables
that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use
of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low,
or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications,
contact the manufacturer of the cable.
NOTE
Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to
your various devices in the order specified. By turning on
devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction
