* Should the LCD liquid get into your
mouth, immediately wash out your
mouth with water and then consult a
physician.
CAUTION
* Should the LCD liquid get in your
eyes or on your skin, immediately
flush with water for at least 15
minutes and then consult a
physician.
Sound Volume
Do not listen to music at very loud volumes
for long periods. Particular care concerning
this precaution is required when using
headphones. High volume settings can
damage your hearing.
Health Precaution
In extremely rare cases, exposure to strong
sudden light or flashing light can cause
momentary muscle spasms, loss of
consciousness, or other physical problems
with some individuals.
If you suspect that you might be
susceptible to any condition such as this,
be sure to consult with your physician
before using this product.
Use this product in an area that is well
illuminated.
Should you ever feel any symptoms

accordance with the instructions that come
with it, and ensure that all connections are
secure. Also make sure that you choose an
appropriate location for the stand.
When placing the digital piano onto the
stand, take care that you do not pinch
your fingers between the digital piano
and the stand.

Safety Precautions
E-4
* Stand is available as an option.
At least two people should lift the digital
piano when placing it onto the stand or
moving it. Trying to move the digital
piano alone can cause the stand to fall
over, creating the risk of personal injury.
Do not drag the stand or tilt it forward or
back when placing the digital piano onto
the stand or moving it. Doing so can
cause the digital piano to fall over,
creating the risk of personal injury.
Periodically check the screws that secure
the digital piano to the stand for
looseness. If a screw is loose, retighten it.

pace. Finally, you can try playing along with the accompaniment at normal speed.
J Big display with a wealth of musical information (page E-12)
A big, information-packed display shows you which fingers to use, which keys to press, staff notation of the notes being played,
and much more.
J Sequencer (page E-53)
A 17-track sequencer provides a System Track for recording of the auto accompaniment plus 16 tracks, each of which can be used
to record with a different tone.
J 100 rhythms (page E-23)
100 preset rhythms including rock, pops, jazz, and much more are at your fingertips.
J Auto Accompaniment (page E-23)

General MIDI compatible tones let you connect to a personal computer for quick and easy “desktop music” capabilities, which
means you can use the piano as a desktop music input device or sound source.
J Mixer (page E-46)
You can specify tone, volume, pan position, and other parameters for each built-in auto accompaniment part and each track
recorded with the sequencer. You can also control the same parameters for each channel during MIDI input.

The piano’s powerful effector provides three blocks: DSP + Chorus + Reverb. A different effect can be assigned to each block, and
blocks can be turned on and off as required.

not perform any operation for about 6 minutes. Note that keys
light only, and no sound is produced. When this happens,
press any button or keyboard key to clear the power on alert.
See “Keyboard Settings” on page E-71 for information about
disabling power on alert.
When this function is turned off, the piano does not turn
off automatically and no alert is performed no matter
how long it is left with no operation being performed.
The following describes what happens to settings and
memory contents when power is turned off.
When you turn off the piano by pressing the POWER button,
it “remembers” the current settings of certain parameters.
These settings remain in effect the next time you turn on the
piano.
For information on which parameters the piano remembers,
see the “Power Off Backup Items” of the “Parameter List” at
the back of this manual (page A-17).
In addition to the settings described above, the digital piano
also retains registration memory and sequencer contents
when power is turned off.
The piano comes with a built-in lithium battery that supplies
power to the memory to retain sequencer and other data
while piano power is turned off. If the power of the lithium
battery is low, turning off piano power can result in deletion
of all data stored in its memory.
The normal life of the original battery is five years from the
time it is loaded at the factory. Due to time spent in transit and
storage, the original battery probably will not provide a full
five years of service life. It is up to you to contact your nearest
CASIO service provider about having the lithium battery
replaced periodically.
Note that you will be charged separately for lithium battery
replacement.
Use the procedure on page E-81 to initialize the digital piano,
which clears all memory data and returns settings to their
initial factory defaults.

Connections
Connecting to an audio or musical instrument amplifier provides even clearer, more powerful sound through external speakers.
Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the
MAIN VOLUME knob of the digital piano and the volume
controller of the external equipment to relatively low
volume settings. You can later adjust volume to the level
you want after connections are complete.
Be sure also to refer to the documentation that comes with
the external equipment for its proper connection
procedures.
Connect commercially available headphones to the digital
piano’s headphones jack. This cuts off the built-in speakers,
which means you can practice even late at night without
disturbing others. To protect your hearing, make sure that
you do not set the volume level too high when using
headphones.
Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP-
20) to perform, connect the pedal’s cable to the digital piano’s
DAMPER jack or SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack. If you want to use
both jacks at the same time, you need to purchase another
optionally available SP-20 pedal.
See “Using the Pedals” on page E-21 for information about
using a pedal.
Use commercially available cables to connect the external
audio equipment to the digital piano’s LINE OUT jacks as
shown in Figure
3. R jack output is right channel sound,
while L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. It is up to
you to purchase connecting cables like the ones shown in the
illustration for connection of audio equipment. Normally in
this configuration you must set the audio equipment’s input
selector to the setting that specifies the terminal (such as AUX
IN) to which the digital piano is connected. Use the digital
piano’s MAIN VOLUME knob to adjust the volume level.
Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier to
the digital piano’s LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure
4. R
jack output is right channel sound, while L/MONO jack
output is left channel sound. Connecting to the L/MONO jack
only outputs a mixture of both channels. It is up to you to
purchase connecting cable like the one shown in the
illustration for connection of the amplifier. Use the digital
piano’s MAIN VOLUME knob to adjust the volume level.
Use only the accessories and options specified for this digital
piano. Use of non-authorized items creates the danger of fire,
electric shock, and personal injury.

The built-in tones are divided among 6 groups, with each

(page A-1) for information about the TONE
button names for each of the built-in tones.

The display exits the tone setting screen if you do
not perform any operation for about 10 seconds.
You can also exit the tone setting screen by
pressing the EXIT/NO button.
The GRAND PIANO tone was recorded using stereo
sampling.
When one of the drum sets is selected (tone numbers 261
through 270), each keyboard key is assigned a different
percussion sound. See page A-7 for details.
