Getting Ready to Play

Either an AC adaptor or batteries can be used to power this

Digital Keyboard. Normally, use of AC adaptor power is

recommended.

• The AC adaptor does not come with this Digital Keyboard.

Purchase it separately from your retailer. See page EN-1

for information about options.

Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this

Digital Keyboard. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can

cause malfunction.

• Be sure to turn off Digital Keyboard power before

connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

• The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after

very long use. This is normal and does not indicate

malfunction.

• To prevent breaking of the wire, take care to avoid

putting any type of load on the power cord.

• Never insert metal, pencils, or any other objects into

the product’s 9.5V DC terminal. Doing so creates the

risk of accident.

• Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.

• It is up to you to prepare six commercially available

AA-size batteries. Do not use oxyride batteries or any

other nickel based batteries.

Open the battery cover on the bottom of the

Digital Keyboard.

Load six AA-size batteries into the battery

compartment.

Make sure the positive + and negative - ends of the

batteries are facing as shown in the illustration.

Insert the tabs of the battery cover into the

holes on the side of the battery compartment,

and close the cover.

■Low Battery Indication

The indicator shown below starts to flash to let you know

when battery power is low. Replace the batteries with new

ones.

any operation for a short while.

The metronome volume setting is changed automatically with

the volume level of the currently selected Auto

Accompaniment or song. The metronome volume cannot be

adjusted independently.

• For information about changing the Auto Accompaniment

volume, see page EN-32.

• For information about changing the song volume, see page

EN-20.

recording external sounds for use with the sampling

function. Sounds input with the built-in microphone are

not output through the speakers.

• You cannot sample sounds input from through the

AUDIO IN jack.

• The built-in microphone automatically becomes

disabled whenever an external microphone is

connected to the MIC IN/SAMPLING jack.

Use the procedure below to play a demo tune that features

sampled sounds.

Hold down bm (SAMPLING DEMO).

This starts playback.

To stop demo play, press bm or bk.

There are two sampling methods: long sampling and short

sampling. Long sampling is used for sampling in the Song

Bank Mode, while short sampling is use for sampling in the

Rhythm Mode.

■Long Sampling

This method allows sampling of a single sound with a duration

of two seconds.

• Sampling a new sound overwrites all previously

recorded data (including data recorded with short

sampling).

Press bo (SONG BANK).
