USER’S GUIDE

• When the Digital Piano is being operated on battery power only, notes may sound distorted when performing or playing back a song at maximum volume. This is due to the difference between AC adaptor power and battery power, and does not indicate Digital Piano malfunction. If you notice distortion, switch to AC adaptor power or lower the volume level.

Preparing a Power Supply

Household power outlet

AC adaptor

dn DC 12V

Power cord

Your Digital Piano uses an AC adaptor for power. Though the Digital Piano supports battery operation, use of an AC adaptor is generally recommended.

Using the AC Adaptor

Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this Digital Piano. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-A12150LW

(JEITA Standard plug)

Overview and Setup

• Never connect the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified polarity plug) that comes with this Digital Piano to any other device besides this Digital Piano. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Be sure to turn off Digital Piano power before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

• The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after very long use. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

• Note the important precautions below to avoid 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.

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 insert metal, pencils, or any other objects into the product’s DC12V terminal. Doing so creates the risk of accident.

• Do not try to use the power cord that comes with the product with another device.

• Plug the AC adaptor into a power outlet that is close to the Digital Piano. This lets you immediately unplug from the power outlet should any problem occur.

• The AC adaptor is intended for indoor use only. Do not leave it in a location where it can become wet. Also, do not place a vase or any other container of liquid on the AC adaptor.

• Make sure that the AC adaptor does not become covered with a newspaper, table cloth, curtain, or any other type of fabric.

• If you do not plan to use the Digital Piano for a long time, unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet.

• The AC adaptor cannot be repaired. If your AC adaptor malfunctions or becomes damaged, you need to purchase a new one.

• AC Adaptor Usage Environment

Overview and Setup

Turning Power On or Off

Press the 1P (Power) button to turn on Digital Piano power.

•Use 2 VOLUME to adjust volume.

To turn off the Digital Piano, long-press the 1P (Power) button.

The message “Bye” will appear on the display and then power will turn off.

• If you press 1P (Power) only lightly, the display will

light up momentarily but power will not turn on. This does not indicate malfunction. Press 1P (Power) firmly and completely to turn on power.

• Turning off the Digital Piano causes most current settings to be cleared. The Digital Piano will revert to initial settings the next time you turn it on.

• Never try to perform any operation while the “Wait...” or “Bye” message is on the display. These messages indicate that an internal data save operation is being performed. Turning off the Digital Piano while either of these messages is displayed can cause its data to be deleted or become corrupted.

Auto Power Off

If you do not perform any operation on the Digital Piano for about four hours under AC adaptor power or about six minutes under battery power, power will turn off automatically.

■ Disabling Auto Power Off

You can disable Auto Power Off to ensure that power is not turned off automatically during a concert, etc. See function number 55 (AutoOff) in the “Function Setting

Item List” (page EN-46).

Returning the Digital Piano to Its Factory Default Settings

Perform the procedure below when you want to return the Digital Piano’s stored data and settings to their initial factory defaults. See function number 58 (Factory) in the “Function Setting

Item List” (page EN-46).

Operation Lock

Operation lock can be used to prevent operational errors during performances by disabling button operations. For details, see “Using Operation Lock” (page EN-48).

• Pressing 1P (Power) to turn off power actually puts the Digital Piano into a standby state. Minute amounts of current continue to flow within the Digital Piano in the standby state. If you do not plan to use the Digital Piano for a long time or if there is a lightning storm in your area, be sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet.

■ Versatile Tones

The Digital Piano’s built-in tones include “versatile tones” (three guitar tones, two bass tones, and two brass tones) that can be used for creating computer music. Versatile tones assign performance sounds that are characteristic of a particular musical instrument (such as a guitar glissando, fret noise, etc.) to each keyboard key (note) and velocity. For information about the sounds assigned for each versatile tone and velocity, see “Versatile Tone Map” (page EN-62).

Layering and Splitting Tones

You can configure the keyboard to play two different tones at the same time (Layer) or to play different tones in the left and right ranges (Split). You can even use Layer and Split in combination with each other and play three different tones at the same time. The Upper1 part is used alone when playing an individual tone on the keyboard. When layering two tones, the Upper1 part and Upper2 part are used. When splitting the keyboard between two tones, the low range of the keyboard plays the Lower part.

• See the separate “Built-in Music Data Lists” for a complete list of available tones.

• When one of the drum sets is selected, each keyboard key is assigned a different percussion sound.

Try playing something on the keyboard.

The tone of the instrument you selected will sound.

■ DSP Tones

The Digital Piano has a number of “DSP tones”, which are tones with special effects. The DSP TONE indicator is displayed while a DSP tone is selected.

■ Guitar Tones

The built-in guitar tones of this Digital Piano include strum noise and other sound effects that are applied in accordance with the pitch (note number) and/or intensity (velocity) of the notes being played.

■ Keyboard part indicators

Keyboard part indicators show the current split and layer status of the keyboard. The displayed indicator shows which keyboard part will sound.

While (tone indicator) is displayed, an arrow mark () will appear to the right of one of the part indicators. Performing a tone change operation will change the tone of the part where the arrow mark () is located.

• Changing the tone setting affects the Upper2 part when Layer is turned on, and the Lower part when Split is turned on.

• If you have split and/or layer enabled, assigning DSP tones to multiple parts (page EN-14) can affect the sound quality of the Upper2 part and/or Lower part. For example if layer is enabled and you assign DSP tones to the Upper1 part and the Upper2 part, the Upper2 part effect is eliminated, which affects tone quality.
