Connecting an audio player
Connecting your audio player to the AUDIO IN jack on the rear 
panel of the i3 lets you input audio to the i3, which you can 
play along with. If the audio signal input overloads, the PEAK 
icon will show up in the display. Adjust the levels so that the 
icon does not display.
Tip: 
To adjust the volume balance, raise the volume of your au-
dio equipment while playing on the keyboard. Use the VOLUME 
knob to adjust the overall volume.
Tip: 
You can adjust the input sensitivity of the AUDIO IN jack 
from “Audio In Level” (page 27) in Setting mode.

devices, or cause a malfunction.
  When turning on the power, first turn your audio equip-
ment on, and then turn on the i3. When turning off the power, 
stop playback on the audio device, turn off the i3, and then 
turn off your audio equipment.
