1. This tutorial shows how to connect your computer to a Pianomation™ 2000CD using a standard computer cable. QRS also offers a wireless solution described on the QRS website.

If you have a desktop computer, locate the sound jacks on the rear panel. The audio out jack is usually green, this is the jack that your speakers would be plugged in to.

 

2. If you have a notebook computer there may be only one or two jacks, usually located on the side or rear of the computer. The sound output jack is usually identified by a drawing of headphones or a speaker.

 

3. Using a standard computer audio connection cable, insert the mini-plug into the audio output jack. The sound files that play the piano have a specially encoded sound like the chirping of a modem on one channel, and the other channel has the background track, if any.

 

4. Plug the white RCA audio jack from the cable into the jack on the rear of your QRS Pianomation player labeled AMI Input.

 

 

 

 

5. The red RCA plug carries the audio accompaniment. This connects to the amplified speaker on your piano or to your audio system.

 

 

6. Turn on your QRS unit by pressing the red button. Next you need to switch your player from CD mode to Line Input mode so it will play the signal coming in from your computer by pressing the F1 key on your remote control until Ln appears in the window of the Pianomation unit.
