Using an external speaker system for listening to sounds from the instrument You can connect a stereo system to amplify the instrument's sound by using the AUX OUT [R]/[L/L+R] jacks. The sound input from the [AUX IN] jack and the [MIC INPUT] jack is output at the same time. NOTICE • To avoid possible damage, first turn on the power to the instrument, and then to the external device. When turning off the power, first turn off the power to the external device, and then to the instrument. Since this instrument's power may automatically be turned off due to the Auto Power Off function (page 29), turn off the power to the external device, or disable Auto Power Off when you do not intend to operate the instrument. • Do not route the output from the AUX OUT jacks to the [AUX IN] jacks. If you make this connection, the signal input at the [AUX IN] jacks is output from the AUX OUT jacks. These connections could result in a feedback loop that will make normal performance impossible, and may even damage the equipment.
