Kawai LH-2C Quick Start Guide
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a
Kawai LH-2C Digital Piano/Organ
The LH-2C Digital Piano/Organ is a revolutionary keyboard instrument that features exceptional
piano and organ sound, a powerful 10-speaker sound system and an attractive, highly functional
cabinet design. The LH-2C keyboard provides the touch response and full dynamic range
required for superb control as you play. In addition, the LH-2C includes a special “Hymn
Player” feature that allows anyone, regardless of musical ability, to play a large library of
favorite Hymns and Children’s Songs.
This Quick-Start Guide is designed to be used with the LH-2 Owner’s Manual
that accompanied your instrument. To begin operating your LH-2C quickly
and safely, please observe the following steps:
1. Safety First – Take a moment to study the “Important Safety Information” found on
Pages 4-7 of the LH-2 Owner’s Manual.
2. Display Functions – Also take a moment to review Section 2 of the LH-2 Owner’s
Manual (pages 8-9) entitled PARTS AND NAMES. The drawings on these pages will
help you become familiar with the various control buttons and pedals on the LH-2C.
3. Power ON – Plug in the LH-2C and press the POWER switch. The display should light
to indicate that power is on.
4. Language Selection – Within several seconds, the display will offer you a choice of four
languages – English, Spanish, Portuguese or French. Quickly select the language of your
choice. This language will become the “default” setting every time the LH-2C is turned
on – or until the language is changed by a subsequent user. If the screen disappears
before you have an opportunity to select a different language, turn the LH-2C off, wait
for a few seconds, and then power the instrument on again to begin the screen sequence
for selecting languages.
5. Set Volume – Adjust the VOLUME SLIDER to a minimum level when you first turn on
the instrument, especially when using headphones. Then, adjust volume upward to a
comfortable listening level.
Kawai LH-2C Quick Start Guide
6. Playing the LH-2C – Once the Language Selection Screen disappears, the Sound
Selection Screen will appear in the display indicating that the PIANO 1 Sound (Bright
Concert Grand Piano) is active. Play any key or chord and adjust the volume slider
upward or downward to a comfortable listening. Press the buttons corresponding to the
other six sounds on the LH-2C:
Piano 2 is MELLOW GRAND PIANO Organ 3 is MEDIUM ENSEMBLE
Organ 1 is SOFT STRINGS Organ 4 is LOUD ENSEMBLE
Organ 2 is MELLOW FLUTES. Organ 5 is FULL ENSEMBLE
7. Organ Expression Pedal – Locate the ORGAN EXPRESS PEDAL to the right of the
three piano pedals at the base of the LH-2C. This pedal allows you to control the volume
of the five ORGAN sounds with your right foot (piano sounds are not affected). Make
sure it is pushed forward slightly before playing any Organ sound.
8. Using the Bass Coupler – The BASS COUPLER button adds a single bass note to any
selected Organ Sound. The added bass note is one octave below the lowest note currently
being played. If you haven't already done so, press the BASS COUPLER button. The
lamp on the button should light and the Sound Selection Screen should change to indicate
the BASS COUPLER feature has been selected. You should hear the lower bass tone
with the first notes played after the BASS COUPLER feature has been activated. The
BASS COUPLER feature will only operate with notes played on the G above Middle
C and below. Also, the BASS COUPLER feature will not operate with the HYMN
PLAYER feature.
9. Using the HYMN PLAYER Feature
The unique Hymn Player feature allows anyone – even those who lack keyboard skills –
to play favorite hymns and children’s songs with just one finger. The following section
will walk you through this feature step-by-step. Please refer to the diagram on page 15
of the LH-2 Owner’s Manual to identify the buttons below.
a. Button Descriptions
The left and right SELECT BUTTONS on either side of the display are used to
select a Hymn, Children’s Song or other feature from the various menus that will
be presented in the display.
The seven FUNCTION BUTTONS (below the display) often work in pairs to
allow you to select Up/Down or Left/Right for a particular function. The display
will show clearly which functions are assigned to each Function Button at any
time. Note that the currently active function will be highlighted. The rightmost
Function Button (#7) will usually be assigned BACK functions.
The ENTER/EXIT button is used to enter or exit the Hymn Player feature.
Kawai LH-2C Quick Start Guide
b. Hymn/Song Selection
If you haven't already done so, press the ENTER/EXIT button to activate the
Hymn Player feature. The display will present a screen that allows you to select
either Hymns or Children’s Songs.
The LH-2C is equipped with two separate libraries – one for Hymns and the other
for Children’s Songs. Use the appropriate Select Button to choose one library or
the other. If you do not press a Select Button, the highlighted library will be
chosen automatically.
Once you have chosen one library (for example, Hymns), you can always move to
the alternate library by using the “GO TO” button at the bottom left of the display.
If you are in the Hymns library, press Function Button associated with “GO TO
SONGS” to enter the Children’s Songs library. If you are in the Children’s Songs
library, use the Function Button associated with “GO TO HYMNS” to enter the
Hymn’s library.
c. Search Methods
Once you are in a library, there are two search methods available to find the
Hymn or Children’s Song of your choice – SEARCH BY NAME or SEARCH
BY NUMBER:
i. SEARCH BY NAME – This search method allows you to scroll through
the available hymn titles in alphabetical order. Note that the SEARCH BY
NAME box at the bottom of the display is highlighted to indicate that this
method is active. Use the two leftmost Function Buttons to scroll up or
down through the various titles. When you find the desired title, press the
corresponding left or right Select Button to choose that title. The title and
number of the selected hymn will appear in the display.
ii. SEARCH BY NUMBER - Hymns can also be selected by the hymn
number found in the LDS Hymn Book. This search method makes it easy
to select a hymn using the LDS Hymn Book as your reference guide.
To search by hymn number, press the function button that corresponds to
the NUMBER SEARCH box in the display. The box will immediately
change to SEARCH BY NUMBER and will show all titles by hymn
number in increasing numerical order. Press the Function Button
corresponding to the BACK box at any time to exit the Hymn Title screen
and return to the Sound Selection Screen.

d. HYMN PLAYER Operation
Once you have selected a hymn or song, there are three different ways to play it
using the Hymn Player feature:
AUTOPLAY: You can play any hymn or song automatically. Simply select a
hymn/song and press the PLAY VERSE button. The selected hymn will
immediately play. For step-by-step instructions, please refer to page 17 of the
LH-2 Owner’s Manual.
METER PLAY METHOD: You can play a hymn (or song) by tapping any key
on the LH-2 keyboard in "straight meter" (that is, with evenly spaced beats). Your
tapping will control both the tempo and the volume of the hymn's playback. In
essence, the Meter Play Method allows you to "conduct" the hymn. For step-by-
step instructions, please refer to page 18 of the LH-2 Owner’s Manual.
RHYTHM PLAY METHOD: You can play a hymn or song by tapping any key
with a prescribed rhythm that corresponds to the melody of the selected hymn or
song. The "Note Navigator" feature in the display will guide you in playing the
proper rhythm. For step-by-step instructions, please refer to page 19 of the LH-2
Owner’s Manual.
e. Using the INTRO Feature
Each hymn is equipped with its own introduction, or INTRO. The built-in
INTROs vary in length. Some are short (4 measures) and others are long (up to 8
measures). To start with an INTRO, press the Function Button that corresponds
with the PLAY INTRO box in the display. For step-by-step instructions, please
refer to page 21 of the LH-2 Owner’s Manual.
f. Using the PRELUDE MUSIC Feature
The unique Prelude Music feature allows anyone to play a preset sequence of
hymns for Prelude and Postlude. To activate Prelude Music, press the PRELUDE
button. When this button is pressed, a randomly selected hymn title and number
will be shown in the display. The ORGAN 1 sound (Soft Strings) will be
automatically selected and the hymn will play. Each hymn will be played twice.
Some hymns will change key the second time they are played. When the original
randomly-selected hymn finishes, the next hymn in the preset sequence will play.
Press the PRELUDE button again to stop the Prelude Music at any time.
For a list of pre-selected hymns included in the Prelude Music feature, please
refer to page 30 of the LH-2 Owner’s Manual.
