ENGLISH
ENGLISH ENGLISH ENGLISH
3.1 Setting up the music rest
The music rest sets up easily with two sections folding
to the inside. To put the stand away, hold it firmly with
your hands, undo the fittings, and slowly collapse the
rest.
3.2 Connecting the power cable
1.
Set the [POWER] switch on the front panel (left
side) to the OFF position.
2.
After plugging the power cable included with your
instrument into the AC IN jack, plug the other end
into a wall socket.
Note: If you are not going to use the instrument for some
time, unplug the power cord from the socket.
3.3 Turning the instrument on
and off
1.
Before turning the instrument on, lower the vol-
ume with the [VOLUME] knob on the front panel.
2.
Press the [POWER] switch to the left of the key-
board.
A few seconds after turning the power on you will be
able to hear the notes you play on the keyboard.
Note: In order to protect its circuits, the instrument requires
a few moments after powering up before it is ready for oper-
ation.
3.4 Using headphones
You can connect one or two pairs of stereo head-
phones (preferably Roland RH-25, RH-50) that carry
the same signal as the one sent to the OUTPUT R, L/
MONO jacks. Connecting a pair of headphones to one
of the PHONES jack turns off the built-in speakers.
There are two jacks, so that two pairs of headphones
can be connected.
The volume of the headphones can be adjusted using
the main [VOLUME] knob.
Note: Please use stereo headphones, preferably the Roland
RH-50, RH-25.
Note: Listening at excessive volume levels for extended peri-
ods may result in impaired hearing – please take appropri-
ate caution.
3.5 Connecting external
amplifiers and other devices
If the KR-3’s amplification system doesn’t deliver
enough power for your application, you can take
advantage of its OUTPUT jacks.
Sending audio to external equipment
Before connecting the KR-3 to another piece of equip-
ment, turn off the power to both devices.
If you wish to amplify the KR-3 through an external
system, or record your music using a tape recorder,
connect the KR-3’s OUTPUT jacks to the AUX IN,
LINE IN, or CH IN jacks of the external (keyboard)
amplifier, mixer, or tape deck.
Note: If you are connecting the KR-3 to a device with a
monaural input, be sure to use the L/MONO jack.
Note: For cassette decks or HiFi amplifiers, you need audio
leads with mono jacks at one end and (usually) RCA/cinch
jacks at the other.
