You can connect the KR to external devices such as audio
equipment, MIDI instruments and computer.

display or a television to the KR107, enabling you to display
the Song Select screen, your favorite images, song lyrics, and
notations on a larger screen.

With a V-LINK compatible device connected, you can switch
images with the keyboard.

with this instrument. However, before you connect any
monitor, make sure it meets the following specifications:

When using an external display, connect the display to
the Ext Display connector, but do not connect a
