Safety Precautions

Before trying to use the piano, be sure to read

the separate “Safety Precautions”.

Precauciones de seguridad

Antes de intentar usar el piano, asegúrese de

leer las “Precauciones de seguridad” separadas.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce

heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the

other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your

safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit

from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the

apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury

from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as

power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been

exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the

apparatus.

The power indicator being unlit does not mean the apparatus is completely disconnected from the MAINS.

When you need to have the apparatus completely disconnected from the MAINS, you must unplug the power cord. For that purpose, locate

the apparatus in a way that secures easy access to the power cord.

Power Supply

Your digital piano runs on standard household power.

Be sure to turn off power whenever you are not using

the digital piano.

1.

Make sure that the POWER button is in the

OFF position (raised).

2.

Connect the power cord that comes with the

digital piano to the AC power jack on the

bottom of the digital piano.*

*PX-800V only

3.

Plug the power cord into a household power

outlet.

IMPORTANT!

•Always make sure that the POWER button is the OFF

position before plugging in or unplugging the power cord.

•The shape of the power cord plug and household power

outlet receptacle differ according to country and

geographical area. The illustration shows just one

example of the shapes that are available.

•The power cord of the PX-800 is hard-wired to the digital

piano.

zMake sure the power lamp is completely turned off

before unplugging the power cord from the power

outlet. Be sure to read and observe all of the safety

precautions concerning power supply.

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.

Bottom

Connect commercially available headphones to the

PHONES jack. Connecting headphones to 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

jack as far as it will go. If you don’t, you may hear sound

from only one side of the headphones.

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.

IMPORTANT!

• The digital piano automatically adjusts sound output to

optimize for headphone output (when headphones are

connected) or built-in speaker output (when headphones

are not connected). Note that this feature also affects the

sound output from the LINE OUT R and L/MONO jacks.

Connecting Audio Equipment (Figure 1)

R (Right) is the right channel and L/MONO (Left) is the

left channel. Use commercially available connection

cords to connect as shown in Figure 1. 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)

R (Right) is the right channel and L/MONO (Left) is the

left channel. Connecting to the L/MONO jack only

outputs a mixture of both channels. Use a

commercially available connection cord to connect as

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

Your digital piano has the following types of tones

built in.

*You can select these tones using keyboard keys. The

name of the tones assigned to each keyboard key is

marked above the keys. For details about selecting

these tones, see “Selecting a Tone Using the

Keyboard Keys” on page E-8.

1.

Press the POWER button to turn on the

digital piano.

IMPORTANT!

•When you turn on the digital piano, it performs a power

up operation in order to prepare its system. The power up

operation takes about 10 seconds, and is indicated by

the following messages appearing on the display.

2.

Select the tone you want.

zTo select the GRAND PIANO tone, simply press the

GRAND PIANO button.

• To select another tone, find its tone name in the

“Tone List” on page A-1 and note its tone number.

Example: To select Tone Number 07, Harpsichord

•Use the + and – buttons to change the displayed

tone number until it matches the one you want (07

in this example).

NOTE

• There are two sets of tone numbers, one set from 01 to 12

and another set from 001 to 150. Pressing the + button

while 12 is displayed will change the tone number to 001.

Similarly, pressing the – button while 001 is displayed

will change the tone number to 12.

• Holding down either button changes the displayed value

at high speed.

3.

Use the VOLUME controller to adjust the

volume level.

4.

Try playing something on the digital piano.

Playing with Different Tones

NOTE

•The DSP* effect will be applied if you select a tone with DSP.

• Note that the digital piano’s DSP resources are limited. Because of this, selecting a tone with DSP can cause notes that are

currently being played to cut off (if they are being played using a tone with DSP), or it can remove the DSP effect from an

operation (layer, split, demo tune) that was previously assigned a tone with DSP.

(* See page E-12)

Selecting a Tone Using the Keyboard Keys

1.

While holding down the TEMPO/SETTING button, press the keyboard key that corresponds to the

tone you want to select.

• This will cause the lamp above the button to flash and the tone number of the selected tone to appear on the display.

*A note does not sound when you press the keyboard key to select a tone.
