Connecting to External Devices Basic Operation CAUTION Before you connect the P-250 to other electronic components, first set all volume levels to minimum (0), then turn off the power to all components. As a standard practice, before you turn the power on or off to any component, set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, electrical shock or damage to the components may result. ■ Connecting to External Audio Equipment Although the P-250 has built-in speakers, you can connect an external stereo system or powered speakers as a monitor. You can also connect a set of headphones (page 23). There are several ways to connect the P-250 to external audio equipment, as described in the following illustrations. Refer to the illustration most similar to your intended setup. Connecting stereo powered speakers A pair of powered speakers can accurately produce the instrument's rich sounds as well as the pan and effect settings. Connect your powered speakers to the OUTPUT [L/MONO] and [R] jacks on the rear panel.

Connecting to a external instrument The stereo outputs from another instrument can be connected to the INPUT [L/MONO] and [R] jacks, allowing the sound of an external instrument to be reproduced via the P-250's speakers. Connecting to a mixer A mixer is often used for recording and live performance, enabling you to play the P-250 through a large-scale sound system.
