Backing Keyboard BK-5 OR
Connecting a portable audio player
You can connect a portable audio player or any other
line-level source to the AUDIO INPUT (STEREO) socket.
The input level of the audio source you connect can be
set with the “Audio In Level” parameter on the MENU‰
Global‰ Utility page (page 72).
You can also attenuate the vocal or solo part at the cen-
ter of the stereo image of the audio signals being
received. See “Audio In Center Canc” on p. 72.
Listening through headphones
You can use headphones to enjoy the BK-5 OR without
disturbing those around you, such as at night.
1.
Plug the headphones into the PHONES 1 or
2 socket located on the left side of the
BK-5 OR’s front panel.
Doing so switches off the BK-5 OR’s speakers.
2.
Use the BK-5 OR’s [VOLUME] knob to adjust
the headphone volume.
■ Cautions when using headphones
•To prevent damage to the cord’s internal conductors,
avoid rough handling. When using headphones,
mainly try to handle either the plug or the headset.
• Your headphones may be damaged if the volume of a
device is already turned up when you plug them in.
Minimize the volume before you plug in the head-
phones.
• Excessive input will not only damage your hearing,
but may also strain the headphones. Please enjoy
music at a reasonable volume.
•Use headphones fitted with a stereo 1/4” phone plug.
Installing the music rest
1.
Install the music rest as shown in the illus-
tration.
NOTE
When moving the BK-5 OR, be sure to remove the music
rest as a safety precaution.
NOTE
Do not apply excessive force to the music rest.
NOTE
The music rest is not designed to accept the placement of
laptops or other heavy objects.
