Getting Ready

Your Digital Piano runs on standard household power.

Be sure to turn off power whenever you are not using

the Digital Piano.

Use only the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified

polarity plug) that comes with this Digital Piano. Use

of a different type of AC adaptor can cause

malfunction of the Digital Piano.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-A12150LW

• Use the supplied power cord to connect the AC

adaptor as shown in the illustration below.

Note the following important precautions to avoid

damage to the power cord.

During Use

• Never pull on the cord with excessive force.

• Never repeatedly pull on the cord.

• Never twist the cord at the base of the plug or

connector.

During Movement

• Before moving the Digital Piano, be sure to unplug

the AC adaptor from the power outlet.

During Storage

• Loop and bundle the power cord, but never wind it

around the AC adaptor.

IMPORTANT!

• Never connect the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard,

with unified polarity plug) that comes with this Digital

Piano to any other device besides this piano. Doing

so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Make sure the Digital Piano is turned off before

plugging in or unplugging the AC adaptor.

• The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after

very long use. This is normal and does not indicate

malfunction.

Press the P (Power) button to turn on Digital

Piano power.

• This causes the P (Power) button to light.

• When you turn on the Digital Piano, it performs a

power up operation in order to initialize its system.

During system initialization the tone button lamps

cycle on and off in the sequence for about five

seconds to let you know that system initialization is

in progress.

To turn off the Digital Piano, hold down the

P (Power) button until its light goes out.

NOTE

• Pressing the P (Power) button to turn off power

actually puts the Digital Piano into a standby state.

Minute amounts of current continue to flow within

the Digital Piano in the standby state. If you do not

plan to use the Digital Piano for a long time or if

there is a lightning storm in your area, be sure to

unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet.

Auto Power Off

This Digital Piano is designed to turn off automatically

to avoid wasting power after no operation is

performed for a preset amount of time. The Auto

Power Off trigger time is about four hours.

• You also can use the procedure below to temporarily

suspend Auto Power Off.

■ To disable Auto Power Off

While the Digital Piano is turned on, press the

P (Power) button to turn it off.

While holding down the FUNCTION button,

press the P (Power) button to turn on the

Digital Piano.

• Auto Power Off will be disabled at this time.

NOTE

• Turning off the Digital Piano after performing the

above steps will re-enable Auto Power Off.

IMPORTANT!

• Whenever connecting something to the Digital

Piano, first use the VOLUME controller to set the

volume to a low level. After connecting, you can

adjust the volume to the level you want.

Connecting headphones to either of the PHONES jack

cuts off output to the speakers, which means you can

practice even late at night without bothering others. To

protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the

volume level too high when using headphones.

NOTE

• Be sure to push the headphones plug into the

PHONES jacks as far as it will go. If you don’t, you

may hear sound from only one side of the

headphones.

• If the plug of the headphones you are using does not

match the PHONES jacks, use the applicable

commercially available adaptor plug.

• If you are using headphones that require an adaptor

plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor

plugged in when you unplug the headphones. If you

do, nothing will sound from the speakers when you

play.

Getting Ready

You can connect audio equipment or a music amplifier

to the Digital Piano and then play through external

speakers for more powerful volume and better sound

quality.

Connecting Audio Equipment (Figure 1)

Use commercially available connecting cords

(Standard Plug × 1, Pin Plugs × 2) to connect as shown

in Figure 1. Make sure that the end of the cord that

you connect to the Digital Piano is a stereo standard

plug. A monaural standard plug will result in output of

only one of the two stereo channels. Normally, you

should set the input selector of the audio equipment to

the terminal where the Digital Piano is connected

(AUX IN, etc.) Adjust volume using the Digital Piano’s

VOLUME controller.

Connecting a Music Amplifier (Figure 2)

Connect the connecting cord* to one of the types of

amplifiers shown in Figure 2.

Adjust volume using the Digital Piano’s VOLUME

controller.

Use only accessories that are specified for use with this

Digital Piano.

Use of unauthorized accessories creates the risk of fire,

electric shock, and personal injury.

Playing with Different Tones

NOTE

• Of the Digital Piano’s 18 built-in tones, the first five

are grand piano tone. Each tone has its own

distinctive merits, so you should select the tone that

suits the song you are playing along with or your

own personal preferences. The CONCERT and

MODERN tones are assigned to buttons for quick

and easy selection.

* Feature that applies computer morphing

technology to enable seamless changes between

sounds sampled at various dynamics from a full

concert grand piano.

Bass Tone (BASS)

Selecting BASS (LOWER) tone in step 1 of the above

procedure will assign the selected bass tone to the low

range (left side) of the keyboard. The high range (right

side) will be assigned the tone that was selected when

you pressed the BASS (LOWER) key.

• BASS (LOWER) lets you effectively split the

keyboard between two different tones.

NOTE

• To return the keyboard to a single tone, select any

tone other than BASS (LOWER).

• You cannot select BASS (LOWER) when recording to

Track 2.

• You can configure settings to sustain reverberation

of the BASS (LOWER) tone while the damper pedal

or sostenuto pedal is pressed. For more information,

see “Bass damper effect” (page EN-28).

Tone Name Characteristics

CONCERT This is a full concert grand piano tone

that uses Linear Morphing* for

dynamic and natural tone changes.

This tone is designed to reproduce

damper, resonance, and other piano

nuances, which makes it ideal for

virtually any type of piano

performance.

MODERN This tone provides a bright grand piano

sound. The volume and timbre of this

tone is quick to respond to different

keyboard pressures, and it has

relatively deep reverb. This tone is a

good choice for dynamic and lively

performances.

CLASSIC This is a natural piano tone that closely

resembles the sound of an acoustic

piano. Though reverb and other flashy

effects are subdued for this tone,

resonance is more pronounced, which

enables expression of delicate nuances.

This tone is a good choice for lesson

and practice sessions.

Your Digital Piano comes equipped with three pedals:

damper, soft, and sostenuto.

Pedal Functions

z Damper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the

notes you play to reverberate for a long time.

• When a GRAND PIANO tone (CONCERT/

MODERN/CLASSIC/MELLOW/BRIGHT) is

selected as the tone, pressing this pedal will cause

notes to reverberate (with damper resonance) just

like the damper pedal on an acoustic grand piano.

Half-pedal operation (pressing the pedal part way)

is also supported.

Soft Pedal

Pressing this pedal while playing suppresses notes

played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed,

and makes them sound softer.

Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this

pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal is

released.

NOTE

• If pressing the pedal does not produce the desired

effect, it could mean that the pedal cord is not

connected properly. Refer to step 1 under “To

connect the cable” (page EN-40).

Disabling Damper Noise Output

Damper noise is a slight metallic ringing sound that is

generated as the damper of an acoustic piano separates

from the wires pedal when the damper pedal is

pressed. The damper resonance of your Digital Piano

normally includes damper noise, but you can perform

the procedure below to disable its output.

While holding down the FUNCTION button,

press the Damper Noise keyboard key (page

EN-27).

• Each press of the key toggles the setting and causes

the Digital Piano to beep as described below.

– Long beep: Damper noise output disabled

– Short beep: Damper noise output enabled

• See “Damper noise” on page EN-28 for more

information.

To adjust the metronome volume

You can perform the following procedure at any time,

regardless of whether or not the metronome is

sounding.

While holding down the FUNCTION button,

use the Metronome Volume keys to specify a

volume value in the range of 0 to 42.

• For details about using the keyboard keys for

settings, see “Keyboard Keys Used for Configuring

Settings” on page EN-27.

• Each press of the T or S key raises or lowers the

metronome volume value by 1.

NOTE

• To return to the initial default setting, press T and

You can use the Duet Mode to split the piano’s

keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet.

The left and right side keyboards have virtually the

same range. The left pedal operates as the left side

damper pedal, while the right pedal is the right side

damper pedal.

This makes it possible to configure the keyboard so, for

example, the teacher can play on the left and the

student can follow along on the right. Or one person

can play the left hand part on the left, while another

plays the right hand part on the right.

Pedal Operation when Playing a Duet

NOTE

• Only the damper pedal for the right side keyboard

supports half-pedal operations.

Select the piano tone you want to use for the

duet.

Example: GRAND PIANO (MODERN)

While holding down the FUNCTION button,

press the METRONOME button to toggle

duet on and off.

IMPORTANT!

• You cannot use the Duet Mode while recording

(page EN-21).

NOTE

• You can configure the piano to output the left side

keyboard tone from the left speaker and the right

side keyboard tone from the right speaker while

duet is turned on. For more information, see “Duet

pan” (page EN-28).

Changing the Octaves of the duet

keyboards

You can change the ranges of the left and right

playing the right hand part.

While holding down the FUNCTION and

METRONOME buttons, press the keyboard C

key that you want located at C4 (middle C) of
