CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING A COMPUTER
The AK280 receives and transmits MIDI messages via the USB
connector. Use a USB cable to connect the AK280 to a computer.
Note:
We recommend you use a USB2.0 interface when connecting
the AK280 to a computer.
CONNECTING A FOOTSWITCH
An optional footswitch can be plugged into the sustain jack.
You can select one of 4 pedal functions from the Function
Menu: Sustain, Soft, Memory Switch and Style Start/Stop.
If you select the sustain pedal, when you step on the pedal,
all notes you play on the keyboard will have a longer sustain.
(Refer to the Function Menu for details.)
CONNECTING HEADPHONES
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be connected to
the PHONES/OUTPUT jack for private practice or late–night
playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically
shut off when a pair of head phones is plugged into this jack.
Note:
To avoid the risk of hearing loss, do not listen with
headphones at a high volume level for a long period of time.
CONNECTING AUDIO EQUIPMENT
CONNECTING AN MP3/CD PLAYER
CONNECTING A MIROCPHONE
The rear–panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack delivers the output of
the AK280 to external audio equipment such as a keyboard
amplifier, a stereo sound system, a mixing console, or a
tape recorder. Use an audio cable to connect the PHONES/
OUTPUT jack of the AK280 to the AUX IN jack of the external
audio equipment.
Note:
To avoid damaging the speakers, please set the volume level
to minimum before connecting the power and other devices.
Connect the audio output of an MP3/CD player or other audio
source to the stereo AUX IN jack on the rear panel. The input
signal is mixed with the AK280 signal, allowing you to
play along.
By connecting a microphone, you can enjoy singing along with
your keyboard performance or with Song playback (KARAOKE).
1. Before turning the power on, set the master volume
to minimum.
2. Connect a microphone to the [MIC] jack.
3. Turn the power on. Adjust the master volume while
singing into the microphone.
