Soft pedal
Damper pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Using the Digital Piano’s
Pedals
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 for a long time. Halfpedal operation (pressing the pedal part way) is also
supported.
• When one of the GRAND PIANO tones or the
MODERN 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. The damper resonance of your Digital Piano
normally includes damper noise, but you can perform
the procedure below to disable its output. Damper
noise can be applied to the six GRAND PIANO tones
and MODERN.
1.
While holding down the FUNCTION button,
press the Damper Noise keyboard key.
• For details about using the keyboard keys for
settings, see “Keyboard Keys Used for Configuring
Settings” (page EN-21).
• Each press of the key toggles the setting and causes
the Digital Piano to beep as described below.
– Long beep: Damper noise output disabled
– Short beep: Damper noise output enabled
Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this
pedal is pressed are sustained 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-34).

to enter a specific tempo value.
• Input three digits as the tempo value.
Example: To set a tempo of 20, press keys 0, 2, and
then 0.
• You can specify a beat value in the range of 0 to 9
(beats per measure). A chime will sound on the first
beat of each measure, and clicks will sound for the
remaining beats. Specifying 0 plays a straight click,
without any chime. This setting lets you practice with
a steady beat.

it down again as you press the
METRONOME TEMPO keyboard key.
• Keep the FUNCTION button depressed as you
advance to step 5.
6.

• If you used the numeric input (0 to 9) keyboard keys
to input beat and/or tempo values and the values
are within the allowable setting ranges, the Digital
Piano will emit a high pitch beep when you release
the FUNCTION button. If a value is outside the
allowable range, a low-pitch sound will be emitted.
• You could also use the procedure below in place of
steps 4 and 5 of the above procedure to specify a
tempo value.
– While holding down the FUNCTION button, use
the TEMPO keyboard keys to specify a tempo
value in the range of 20 to 255 (beats per minute).
• In step 5 of the above procedure, pressing the + and
– keys at the same time will set the tempo of the
Concert Play lesson song or Music Library song (in
the case of a recorded song, the tempo when the

you have all the parts shown below.
• This stand does not include any of the tools required
for assembly. It is up to you to prepare a large
Philips head (+) screwdriver for assembly.
*CAUTION
• To assemble the stand, at least two persons should
work together on a flat surface.
• Take care that you do not pinch your fingers
between parts when assembling them.
• Spread felt or some other type of cloth under the
bench to avoid direct contact between the rubber at
the tips of the legs and the floor surface. Direct
contact between the rubber and flooring can cause
discoloration, marring, or other damage to the
flooring.
• When placing the Digital Piano on the floor, be sure
to place it on something soft (a blanket, cushion, etc.)
Do not place the Digital Piano directly onto the floor.
• Be sure to follow the proper procedure when
assembling the stand.
• Do not remove the tape securing the keyboard cover
in place until assembly is complete. Removing the
tape can cause the keyboard cover to open and
close during assembly, creating the risk of personal
injury to your hands and fingers.
• Do not use any screws other than those that come
with the stand. Doing so risks damage to the stand
and/or Digital Piano.
•You can find the screws in a plastic bag inside of the
packing material.
• If anything is missing or damaged, contact your local
CASIO service provider.
• Pull the pedal unit cable out from the crosspiece .

Removing the Protective Tape
from the Keyboard
Protective tape is affixed to the front edges of the
keyboard keys to protect them during shipment.
Remove the protective tape before using the Digital
Piano.
• Peel off the tape by pulling carefully towards you as
shown in the illustration.
• If some keys seem to be raised up after you remove
the tape, press down to return them to their normal
positions.
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.

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.

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.
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

1. Check to make sure that the USB cable is connected to the Digital Piano and
computer, and that the correct device is selected with your computer’s music
software.
2. Turn off the Digital Piano and then exit the music software on your computer.
Next, turn the Digital Piano back on and then restart the music software on
your computer.
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
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.
