COMMAND
The
"Call
Music"
Command
When
power
is
first
turned
on
to the
CX5M,
the
MSX

there-
fore,
the

be input
from
the
CX5M
keyboard. (The
same
command
can be entered
in
the
form
"_

where
is
an
abbrevitation
for
the
word
"call").
The
screen display
shown
at
the
right
will
appear.
The
Music
Keyboard
will
now
function,
and
when
played
at
this stage,
the

The
CX5M
has
built-in
preamplifier
circuitry,
allowing
you
to
connect
the
output
of the
FM
Sound
Synthesizer
unit
directly
to
a
video
monitor "audio
signal"
input terminal.
The
signal
is
then monitored
via
the
built-in
TV
or video
monitor
speaker.
The
audio
signal
is
output from
the
CX5M
via
the
rear-panel
DIN
jack labelled
"MONITOR"
(For
CX5MU,
C
only
using the
VC-02)
or
RCA
type
pin labelled
"SOUND"
(Except
CX5MU,
C,
F
using
audio connector
cable). Please
note
that
the
FM
Sound
Synthesizer
output
has very high
dynamic
range,
and
the
sound
will
most
likely
be
distorted
when
monitored through
a
built-in
TV
speaker.
Output volume
should be lowered
when
monitoring
the
signal
in
this
way.

For
better
sound
reproduction
quality the
FM
Sound
Synthesizer
unit
can be connected
directly
to
a
stereo or
keyboard
amplifier.
RCA
pin-type
audio output
terminals
are
found on
the
left
hand
side
of the
CX5M,
next
to the
MIDI
In/Out
terminals.
These
are labelled
L and
R, for
the
left
and
right
stereo channels. This allows
you
to
monitor output through
a
high-performance
sound
system,
in
stereo.
(With
preset
voices,
the
same
signal
is
output
to
both
the
left
and
right
chan-
nels.
With
the optional
FM
Voicing
Program output
for
new
voices
can be
directed to
each
channel.)
