Rear Panel & Connections Panel Controls • Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5B, PA-5C or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack. See page 12 for details. Refer to page 13. CD MD A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack. • Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss. Connect an external audio device (such as a CD player or MD player) to the AUDIO BPM IN terminal, and play back the desired audio passage. The audio can be used with the Audio bpm Counter function, in which the DJX-IIB reads the tempo of the audio and synchronizes the pattern rhythm to it. Amplifier The DJX-IIB also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the DJX-IIB with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information, see page 65.) The LINE OUT jacks are used to send the DJX-IIB output to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, mixing console, or tape recorder. • Connect the DJX-IIB to external equipment only after turning off power for all devices. To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. 11
