Disklavier

Brian,

I have a DC3A with the Silent System.  When you plug a set of headphones 
into the headphone jack of the unit mounted under the lower left of your 
disklavier's keyboard, the external speakers will not sound but you will 
hear the digitally sampled piano only through your headphones.  You can 
adjust the volume with the headphone volume control.  Unplug the 
headphones and the sampled piano will sound through your external 
speakers mounted beneath the piano.
