2. Connect the left and right outputs of your instrument into the 1/4" inputs 1 and 2 on the back panel of the BR-800. 
   Note: This may require adapter cables (e.g. RCA to 1/4" if the outputs of your instrument are RCA).

8. Press EXIT twice.
9. Turn up the volume of your external instrument to a desired volume level and then begin playing the instrument.
10. On the BR-800, adjust the INPUT SENS knobs for inputs 1 and 2 so that their red PEAK indicators light only briefly at the loudest sounds of playing your instrument.
