Your Digital Piano comes equipped with three pedals: damper, soft, and sostenuto

Pedal Functions

 Damper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes you play to reverberate.

• When one of the piano tone is selected, using the damper pedal adds damper resonance that is similar to that produced on an acoustic grand piano.

Disabling Damper Noise Output

Damper noise is a slight metallic ringing sound that is generated as the damper of an acoustic piano separates from the wires pedal when the damper pedal is pressed.

 Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this pedal is pressed are sustained, even if the keyboard keys are released, until the pedal is released.

 Soft Pedal

Pressing this pedal while playing suppresses notes played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes them sound softer.

• If pressing the pedal does not produce the desired effect, it could mean that the pedal cord is not connected properly. Refer to step 1 under “To connect the cable” (page EN-52).

Storing Standard Audio Data (WAV Files) to a USB Flash Drive

Performing a record operation with the Digital Piano’s audio recorder creates a folder named AUDIO on the USB flash drive. WAV files are stored in the AUDIO folder, automatically assigning them names from TAKE01.WAV to TAKE99.WAV. You also can connect a USB flash drive to a computer and change the names of audio data (WAV) files to the format “TAKEXX.WAV”*, and move them to the AUDIO folder. Then you will be able to play them back on the Digital Piano.

Connecting a USB Flash Drive to and Detaching It from the Digital Piano

• Never plug any other device besides a USB flash drive into the USB flash drive port.

• When you plug in a USB flash drive, the Digital Piano initially needs to “mount” the USB flash drive and prepare for data exchange. Note that Digital Piano operations are momentarily disabled while a USB flash drive mounting sequence is being performed. The Digital Piano’s L/R lamps flash while the mounting process is in progress. It may take up to 10 or 20 seconds or even longer for a USB flash drive to be mounted. Do not attempt to perform any operation on the Digital Piano while a mounting sequence is in progress (while L/R lamps are flashing). A USB flash drive needs to be mounted each time it is connected to the Digital Piano.

■ To insert a USB flash drive

Opening and Closing the Piano Lid

• Use both hands whenever opening or closing the lid, and take care that you do not close it on your fingers.

• Do not open the lid too wide. Doing so creates the risk of damage to the cover and digital piano.

• Stand in front of the digital piano on the right side when opening or closing the lid.

■ To open the lid

Lift up the lid as shown in the illustration.

• The lid has a support bracket (indicated by the star 

in the illustration) attached to its inside surface. Check to make sure that the support bracket is standing up fully.

■ To close the lid

Carefully lift up slightly on the lid.

Connecting Headphones

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES/OUTPUT jacks. Connecting headphones to either of the PHONES/OUTPUT 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/OUTPUT 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/OUTPUT 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.

Use the fingers of your left hand to press back on the support bracket () as you slowly and carefully lower the lid.

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.

• Whenever connecting a device 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.

• Whenever you connect any device to the Digital Piano, be sure to read the user documentation that comes with the device.

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.

• You can get information about accessories that are sold separately for this product from the CASIO catalog available from your retailer, and from the CASIO website at the following URL.

Connecting Audio Equipment (Figure )

Use commercially available connecting cords (Standard Plug × 1, Pin Plugs × 2) to connect as shown in Figure . 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 )

Connect the connecting cord* to one of the types of amplifiers shown in Figure . 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.

• Change the Head Phone Mode setting to OFF whenever the Digital Piano is connected to an audio system or amplifier.

Troubleshooting

Problem Action

No sound is produced when I press a keyboard key.

The pitch of the Digital Piano is off.

Nothing happens when I press a pedal.

Tones and/or effects sound strange. Turning power off and then back on again does not eliminate the problem.

Example:

change even though I alter key pressure.

I cannot transfer data after connecting the Digital Piano to a computer.

I cannot store data to a USB flash drive or load data from a USB flash drive.

It takes a long time before I can use the Digital Piano after I turn it on.

A tone’s quality and volume sounds slightly different depending where it is played on the keyboard.

When I press a button, the note that is sounding cuts out momentarily or there is a slight change in how effects are applied.

I need to reset all Digital Piano data and settings to their initial defaults.

I need to reset a specific setting to its initial default.

It takes about 20 seconds after you turn on power to perform the memory format operation. Wait until the format operation is complete. Note that you should take care to avoid turning off the Digital Piano while a data transfer operation with a computer is in progress.

This is an unavoidable result of the digital sampling process, malfunction. * Multiple digital samples are taken for the low range, middle range, and high range of the

original musical instrument. Because of this, there may be very slight differences in tonal quality and volume between sample ranges.

This happens when the sounds of multiple parts are sounding at the same time while using layer, using the Duet Mode, playing back a built-in tune, recording, etc. Pressing a button when one of these conditions exists will cause the effect setting that is built into the tone to change automatically, which causes notes to cut out momentarily or causes a slight change in how effects are being applied.

Hold down the FUNCTION, MIDI REC and GRAND PIANO 2 buttons, and press the power

tton to turn on power.

Hold down the FUNCTION button and press the + and – keyboard keys of the setting at the same time.
