Basic Connections
There are many ways to incorporate the CS2x into a simple or
expanded music system. Below are a few examples to get you
started.
Power Adaptor
The CS2x comes equipped with a Yamaha PA-3B AC adaptor
which supplies DC power to the instrument.
1. Make sure the STANBY/ON switch is in the STANDBY (off)
position.
2. Connect the PA-3B’s DC plug to the CS2x’s DC IN jack.
3. Connect the adaptor’s AC plug to the nearest electrical
outlet.
c Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the PA-3B.
Use of an incompatible adaptor may result in irreparable
damage to the CS2x, and could even pose a serious shock
hazard.
Be sure to disconnect the power adaptor from the electrical
outlet when the CS2x is not in use.

The CS2x By Itself
At the simplest level, all you need to do to monitor the CS2x is
connect a pair of stereo headphones to the PHONES jack located
on the rear panel.
Or you could connect a pair of amplified speakers (i.e. speakers
with their own built-in amps, like those used with a personal
computer) using two audio cables plugged into the CS2x’s left
and right OUTPUT jacks and each amplified speaker’s input jack.
(For mono use, connect one end of a single audio cable to the
CS2x’s L/MONO jack.)
Or if you want to integrate the CS2x into a larger system with
other instruments and additional audio processing capabilities,
connect it to a mixer, amplifier and stereo monitor system as
shown below.
c In order to avoid possible damage to the speakers or other
connected electronic equipment, before switching on the
power of any component, make sure the CS2x’s volume level
and the volume levels of the connected equipment are set to
minimum.
