Turning the power on

Note: Check the following before you turn the power
on.
• Make sure that you're using an AC outlet that
supplies the correct voltage for your unit.
• Use only the included AC adapter.
• Turn the KROME's front panel VOLUME knob all
the way to the left to minimize the volume.
• Make sure that the KROME's power is off.
• If you're connecting to an external output device
such as a mixer or a powered monitor speaker,
minimize its volume and turn off its power.
Here's how to connect the power.
1. Connect the included AC adapter's DC plug to the
AC adapter connector located on the KROME's
rear panel.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Connect the power cord to the AC adapter.
To prevent the DC plug from being disconnected
accidentally, fasten the cable around the KROME's
cable hook.

necessary.
2. Connect the KROME's AUDIO OUTPUT
L/MONO and R jacks to your mixer or powered
monitor speakers.
• If you're monitoring through headphones, connect
them to the headphone jack that's located on the
left side of the front of the KROME. This
headphone jack will output the same signal as the
stereo output (AUDIO OUTPUT L/MONO and R).
3. Turn on the power by pressing the power switch
located on the rear panel of the KROME.
If the auto power-off function is enabled, a
message will appear at start-up, informing you of
the time until the power will turn off
automatically. If this dialog box does not appear,
auto power-off is not enabled; the power will not
turn off automatically. (See "The auto power-off
function" on page 9.)
4. Power-on your external output devices, and adjust
their volume appropriately.
5. While playing the keyboard, gradually turn the
VOLUME knob toward the right to adjust the
volume.
