ENGLISH

Connecting the PK-9 to an external
instrument with its PK cable

Use the PK cable that is supplied with the PK-9 to con-
nect the external instrument and PK-9. This connection
system will allow the external instrument to power the
PK-9 (so that you don’t need the supplied AC adaptor).

The PK-9 will be turned on/off by the power switch of
the external instrument, regardless of the position of
the PK-9’s own power switch.

Make sure that the external instrument’s
power is turned off and the volume is mini-
mized.

Use the PK cable that is supplied with the
PK-9 to connect the external instrument’s
PK IN connector to the PK-9’s PK OUT con-
nector.

Once everything is properly connected, be sure to fol-
low the procedure below to turn on their power. If
you turn on equipment in the wrong order, you risk
causing malfunction or equipment failure.

Turn on the power of the external instru-
ment and adjust the volume as explained in
the its owner’s manual.

Check whether the PK-9 is on as well.

Play the pedalboard. If you hear the pedal
part of external instrument, connections are
complete.

NOTE

If the external instrument’s Pedal part sounds in the wrong
octave, you can transpose the note numbers the PK-9
transmits (see “Octave” on p. 15).

NOTE

To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn
down the volume, and turn off all the units before making
any connections.

NOTE

This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief inter-
val (a few seconds) after turning the unit on is requested
before it will operate normally.

Connecting the supplied AC
adaptor

The PK-9 can be powered with the supplied PSB-1U
adapter.

NOTE

Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the PK-9
(PSB-1U). Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation
matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body.
Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed
for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage,
malfunction, or electric shock.

NOTE

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume and turn off the power
on all devices before making any connections.

Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor.

Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator
faces upwards and the side with textual information
faces downwards.

The indicator will light once you plug the AC adaptor
into a wall outlet.

Connect the AC adaptor to the PK-9’s DC IN
socket.

Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
