Using the headphones
Use stereo headphones with a stereo 1/8" mini plug.
Since there are two headphone jacks on the lower left side
of the LP-380 keyboard, two people can enjoy the sound.
If headphones are plugged into the headphone jack, the
LP-380's speakers will not produce sound.
Use headphones at night or when you don't want disturb
others.
If your headphones feature a standard-to-mini adapter
plug, be sure to hold the adapter plug when you con-
nect or disconnect the headphones.
To protect your hearing, do not listen to loud, high-
volume sounds for extended periods of time through
headphones.
Using the music stand
The key cover serves as a convenient music stand. (Fig. 2)

When the instrument is turned on, the buttons on the con-
trol panel will light up.
To turn the instrument off, press the power button again.
When the instrument is turned off, all functions and
parameters, except the auto power off function return
to their factory default settings.
Auto power off function
When 30 minutes have passed without user input or
demo performance, the instrument will be automati-
cally turned off. To disable this function, turn off the
auto power off function (see page 13).
Adjust the volume
Rotate the VOLUME knob that's located next to the power
switch toward "MAX" to raise the volume level.
Rotate it left toward "MIN" to lower the level. (Fig. 3)
The VOLUME knob controls the output level of the built-in
speakers, the headphones jacks and the LINE OUT jacks.
It is always better to start with a low volume and then
increase gradually.

Using the LINE OUT jack
Use the LINE OUT jack, if you want to connect your LP-
380 to a mixer, stereo hi-fi, or a couple of active monitors.
When using a stereo hi-fi, connect the LINE OUTs to the
AUX or LINE inputs.
You must only connect devices with the power turned
off. Careless operation may damage the LP-380 or the
device where it's connected, or malfunctions may be
caused.
Connection cables are sold separately. You will need to
obtain the appropriate commercially-available cables
for your equipment.
