• 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

Connections

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.

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.

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

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 Tones (BASS 1, BASS 2)

Selecting either of the two BASS (LOWER) tones (1 or

2) 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 1 or BASS 2 key.

• BASS 1 and BASS 2 let you effectively split the

keyboard between two different tones.

NOTE

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

tone other than BASS 1 or BASS 2.

• You cannot select BASS 1 or BASS 2 when recording

to Track 2.

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.

■ About DSP

DSP makes it possible to digitally produce complex

acoustic effects. The DSP is assigned to each tone

whenever you turn on digital piano power.

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.

z Soft Pedal

Pressing this pedal while playing suppresses notes

played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed,

and makes them sound softer.

z Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this

pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal is

released.
