Before You Start Playing
Connecting Headphones
The RG-3 has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This
allows two people to listen through headphones
simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and
performing piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this
allows you to play without bothering others around you,
even at night.

1. Plug the headphones into a Phones jack located
in the jack panel on the RG-3’s bottom left panel.
Connecting headphones will automatically mute the
sound from the internal speakers.
The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume]
knob of the RG-3.
NOTE
Use Stereo headphones.
Some Notes on Using Headphones
• To prevent damage to the cord, handle the headphones
only by the headset or the plug.
• Connecting the headphones when the volume of
connected equipment is turned up may result in damage
to the headphones. Lower the volume on the RG-3
before plugging in the headphones.
• Listening at excessively high volume levels will not only
damage the headphones, but may also cause hearing
loss. Use the headphones at a moderate volume level.
Connecting a Microphone
You can connect a microphone into the Mic jack, and enjoy
karaoke with the RG-3.

1. Connect the microphone to the Mic jack located
in the jack panel on the RG-3’s bottom left panel.
2. Rotate the Mic Volume knob on the right side of
the Mic jack to adjust the volume level for the
microphone.
3. Adjust the mic echo (p. 39).
Some Notes on Using a Microphone
• Be careful of high volume levels when using microphone
late at night or early in the morning.
• When connecting a microphone to the RG-3, be sure to
lower the volume. If the volume control is too high when
the microphone is plugged in, noise may be produced by
the speakers.
• Howling could be produced depending on the location
of microphone relative to speakers. This can be remedied
by:
• Changing the orientation of the microphone.
• Relocating microphone at a greater distance from
speakers.
• Lowering volume levels.
