NOTE
Use audio cables and adaptor plugs having no (zero) resistance.
You can adjust the volume of the sound from the [AUX IN] jack in the Balance display (page 42).

Minimizing noise of the input sound via Noise Gate
By default, this instrument cuts unwanted noise from the input sound. However, this may result in wanted sounds also being cut, such as the soft decay sound of a piano or acoustic guitar. To avoid this, set the Noise Gate to off via [Menu] | [Utility] | [Speaker/Connectivity] | [AUX In Noise Gate].

Using an External Stereo System for Playback
You can connect a stereo system to amplify the instrument's sound by using the AUX OUT [L/L+R]/[R] jacks. The microphone or guitar sound connected to the instrument's [MIC/LINE IN] jack is output at the same time.

NOTICE
To avoid possible damage, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. When turning off the power, first turn off the power to the external device, then to the instrument. Since this instrument's power may automatically be turned off due to the Auto Power Off function (page 19), turn off the power to the external device, or disable Auto Power Off when you do not intend to operate the instrument.
Do not route the output from the [AUX OUT] jacks to the [AUX IN] jacks. If you make this connection, the signal input at the [AUX IN] jacks is output from the [AUX OUT] jacks. These connections could result in a feedback loop that will make normal performance impossible, and may even damage the equipment.
