the sound.
fig.00-07.e
The mark at the top of the Volume knob indicates the volume level
typically produced by an acoustic piano. This is usually the most
appropriate volume for your piano performances.
Devices Equipped with CD Drives
If your device is equipped with a CD drive, you can use the
remote control to change the volume.
* Turning up the [Volume] knob will not increase the volume if
the remote control for the CD drive-equipped device is set to 0.
If the volume level for either unit is set to 0 (minimum), no
sounds will be played even when the volume setting on the
other unit is increased.
Connecting Headphones
The KR 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.
Plug the headphones into the Phones jack located at the
bottom left of the piano.
Connecting headphones will automatically mute the
sound from the internal speakers.
The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume]
knob of the KR.

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 KR 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 In jack, and enjoy
karaoke with the KR.
fig.00-10
1. Connect a microphone (sold separately) to the Mic In
jack on the lower-right area of the instrument.
2. Rotate the [Mic Volume] knob in front of the Mic In
jack to adjust the volume level for the microphone.
3. Adjust the mic echo (p. 44).
Some Notes on Using a Microphone
• Be careful of high volume levels when using mikes late
at night or early in the morning.
• When connecting a microphone to the KR, 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 microphones 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.
