Using an External Stereo System for Playback—AUX OUT [L/L+R] [R] jacks (unbalanced)
These jacks let you connect the instrument to external powered speaker systems, for
playing in larger venues at higher volumes.
NOTICE
• To avoid possible damage to the devices, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. When turning
off the power, first turn off the power to the external device, then to the instrument. Since this instrument’s power may auto-
matically be turned off due to the Auto Power Off function (page 16), turn off the power to the external device, or disable Auto
Power Off when you do not intend to operate the instrument. If the instrument’s power is automatically turned off via the Auto
Power Off function, first turn off the external device, then turn on the power to the instrument then the external device again.
• When the AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external device, never connect the [AUX IN] jacks to the output jacks of the
external device. Doing so could result in feedback (oscillation) that may damage both the devices.
In recording and live-performance environments, musical instruments are
commonly connected to a mixer. For these applications, this instrument is
equipped with a pair of professional-use, balanced XLR jacks that prevent
unwanted noise in the output signals. When connecting to a mixer, we recom-
mend using these OUTPUT [L] [R] jacks.

• When the OUTPUT jacks are connected to an external device, never connect the [AUX IN] jacks to the output jacks of the
external device. Doing so could result in feedback (oscillation) that may damage both the devices.

Use audio cables and adaptor plugs with no
resistance.
