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

Tip
Your digital piano runs on standard household power.
Be sure to turn off power whenever you are not using
the digital piano.
Using an AC Adaptor

polarity plug) that comes with this digital piano. Use of
a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction
of the digital piano.
Specified AC Adaptor: AD-A12150LW
• Use the supplied power cord to connect the AC
adaptor as shown in the illustration below.
• Secure the AC adaptor cord with the clip you affixed
next to the power terminal (page E-30).
* Using the Clip

Note the following important precautions to avoid
IMPORTANT!
damage to the power cord.
During Use
• 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.
• The power cord should not be stretched tight while
it is in use.
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.
• 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
plugging in or unplugging the AC adaptor.
• The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after
very long use. This is normal and does not indicate
malfunction.

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 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.
Connect commercially available headphones to the
PHONES jacks. 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.
Connecting Audio Equipment
or an Amplifier
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 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.
* Digital Piano: Stereo standard plug
Amplifier : Inputs signals for the left and right
channels. Not connecting either plug
will result in output of only one of the
two stereo channels.
Bundled and Optional
Accessories
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.
NOTE
• You can get information about accessories that are
sold separately for this product from the CASIO
catalog available from your retailer, and from the

3.
Use the VOLUME controller to adjust the
volume.
NOTE
• GRAND PIANO tones (MODERN, CLASSIC)
Your digital piano has a total of 16 built-in tones.
The MODERN and CLASSIC tones are stereo
sampled tones that can be selected using the
GRAND PIANO buttons. Try using the GRAND
PIANO tones to familiarize yourself with their
distinctive sounds and characteristics.
Tone Name Characteristics
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 strong 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
grand piano. Reverb and other effects
are kept to a minimum in order to
enhance the impact of piano pedals
operations (acoustic resonance), for
musically delicate expressions. This
tone is a good choice for lesson and
practice sessions.
To adjust the brilliance of a
tone
1.
While holding down the FUNCTION button,
use the BRILLIANCE keys to specify a
brilliance value in the range of –3 to 0 to 3.
For this type of sound:
Mellower and softer
Brighter and harder
Press this keyboard
key:
T
S
• The GRAND PIANO tone (VARIATION) is best for
playing along with an accompaniment.
Bass Tones (BASS 1, BASS 2)
Selecting either of the two BASS (LOWER) tones (1 or
2) in step 2 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.
Split Point
Low Range High Range
BASS 1 PIPE ORGAN
(Currently selected tone.)
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.
NOTE
• To return a tone to its initial default setting “0”,
press T and S at the same time.

Layering Two Tones
Use the following procedure to layer two tones, so they
sound at the same time.
When specifying two tones for layering, first tone you
select will be the main tone, while the second tone will
be the layered tone.
1.
While holding down the FUNCTION button,
hold down the keyboard key for the main tone
as you press the keyboard key for the layered
tone.
Example:To layer HARPSICHORD and STRINGS 1
To adjust the volume balance between
two layered tones

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the
notes you play to reverberate for a very long time.

VARIATION) is selected as the tone, pressing this
pedal will cause notes to reverberate (with acoustic
resonance) just like the damper pedal on an acoustic
grand piano.
