Quick Start2.
Power on/off 2.1
The CDP2400USB is a digital, i.e. electronic, piano. Therefore,
mains power is required to operate the instrument and it has to be
switched on or off . The following section describes how to connect
the unit to the mains.
◊
The POWER switch to the left of the keyboard must be in the
“off ” position when you connect the unit to the mains.
FUSE HOLDER / IEC RECEPTACLE
The CDP2400USB is connected to the mains using a standard IEC
receptacle. All required safety regulations have been adhered to. A
matching power cable is included with the unit. Blown fuses must
be replaced with a fuse of the same type and rating.
Connect the power cable supplied with the unit to the 1)
connector provided on the underside of the instrument and
to a wall socket
Press the POWER switch to the left of the keyboard to switch 2)
the instrument on or off . The LED on the front panel lights up
when the CDP2400USB is ready for operation.
◊
After playing, switch off the unit with the POWER switch.
The POWER LED on the front panel will go out. Please note:
Merely switching the unit off does not mean that it is fully
disconnected from the mains. If you do not plan to use your
piano for a prolonged period of time, please disconnect it
from the mains by unplugging the power cable from the
wall outlet.

Using the pedals4.3
The CDP2400USB is equipped with three foot pedals performing
the same functions as the pedals on an acoustic grand piano.
Normally, the pedals are used in accordance with the instructions
given in the music, where they are marked by special symbols. It
is useful to know how sound is produced on an acoustic piano to
better understand how the pedals work.
When you strike a key, a hammer hits several strings for each note;
the strings produce a tone with a defi ned pitch. When you let go
of the key, a damper felt falls down on the strings to stop them
from vibrating any longer. As a result, the tone decays quickly.
However, if the key is held down, the tone is sustained for a while
before it decays completely. In this case, the tone decays only after
a certain time.
This decay characteristic can be infl uenced using the three
foot pedals.
•
Soft/piano pedal (left):
intimate sound. Use this pedal for particularly soft musical
passages (pianissimo).
On an acoustic piano this soft sound results from a smaller
distance between hammer and strings. On a grand piano,
however, the position of the hammer changes, so that the
hammer does not hit all strings.
Press the pedal to dampen all tones played afterwards with 1)
the pedal down.
Let go of the pedal for normal playing.2)
◊
You can adjust the eff ect of the damper pedal
(see chapter 5.6.2).
•
Sostenuto pedal (middle):
sustain individual tones. The notes already played – as
long as they have not yet decayed – will be sustained
as soon as you press the pedal. All notes played
subsequently will be dampened as described above.
This allows you to play and sustain a certain note using
the pedal, while all subsequent tones will be played in a
staccato (detached) manner.
When you sustain single notes on an acoustic piano using
the sostenuto pedal, the damper felts of the notes already
played do not dampen the strings when you release the
keys, but are held in their position.
Play the notes to be sustained.1)
Press the pedal to sustain the tones you just played. 2)
Play the next notes. These are played with normal decay.3)
Release the pedal for normal playing.4)
•
Damper/Forte pedal (right): The damper pedal allows
you to sustain the notes already played (and held) plus all
subsequent notes, without having to hold the keys down.
The damper pedal is often used to achieve a richer sound.
This is the pedal that is used most often. You can also
The soft pedal produces a soft and
Use the sostenuto pedal to
use it very subtly, for example, by holding it down only
half-way.
On the acoustic piano notes are sustained by keeping
all the damper felts in their raised position even after
releasing the keys. This allows the notes played to decay
quite naturally.
Play the notes to be sustained.1)
Press the pedal to sustain the notes you just played plus all 2)
subsequent notes.
Release the pedal for normal playing.3)
Using headphones4.4
The CDP2400USB is equipped with two headphone jacks located
on the underside of the playing console (front left). Headphones
are ideal for practicing without disturbing others. The second
headphone jack allows another person, for example a music
teacher, to listen as well so that piano lessons can also be held using
headphones. Both ¼" and /" inputs are available.
Use the VOLUME control to turn the volume down (move the 1)
slide control to the left half of its control range).
Connect your headphones to a free headphone jack on the 2)
underside of the playing console.

Advanced operation5.
The following chapters provide information on advanced operating
functions of the CDP2400USB.
Using EDIT mode5.1
Many advanced operating functions of the CDP2400USB are
available in EDIT mode. The following sections describe how to
adjust these functions in EDIT mode.
◊
Whenever you are prompted to enter EDIT mode, please
follow the step-by-step instructions given below to select a
function and adjust its parameters.
Keep pressing the MODE button in the TEMPO/EDIT MODE 1)
section until the EDIT MODE LED lights up.
Scroll through the functions using the Down/Up buttons, until 2)
the appropriate function (e.g. E1) has been selected.
Use the -/NO- and +/YES buttons in the VALUE/SONG section 3)
to adjust the value of your choice.
Quick access to layer mode functions5.1.1
Use the following operating procedure for direct access to the layer
mode menu pages.
Press and hold down the two sound buttons selected for layer 1)
mode (e.g. GRAND 1 and STRINGS) and press the MODE
button in the TEMPO/EDIT MODE section.
+
The EDIT LED lights up and the EDIT page E3.1 is displayed.
Transposition5.2
The sounds produced by the CDP2400USB can be transposed up
or down by half-tones (key by key). This is useful, for example if you
want to play a piece in a key that is easier to play because it has few
or no accidentals at all (e.g. C major), but intend the piece to sound
in a diffi cult key with lots of accidentals (e.g. D fl at major).
Example: D fl at major has fi ve fl ats (accidentals). In this key you
would have to play a lot of black keys. However, if you transpose
the sounds up by one half-tone, you can easily play the piece on
the white keys (C major). It can be helpful to transpose the
keyboard by an octave (12 halftones), for example to play low notes
in the middle register where they can be played more comfortably.
Press and hold the TRANSPOSE button and use the -/NO and 1)
+/YES buttons in the VALUE/SONG section to adjust the
transposition value of your choice in half-tone steps.
+
The display reads:
0: No transposition (default setting)
1 ... 12: Keyboard is transposed up by the number of half-
tones selected.
-1 ... -12: Keyboard is transposed down by the number of
half-tones selected.
Release the TRANSPOSE button when the desired value has 2)
been selected.

Layer mode settings5.3
In layer mode you can eff ect additional settings for advanced
playing with two sounds at the same time.
All sounds are numbered internally from 1 through 14. This order of
