Using the AC Adaptor
Make sure that you use only the AC adaptor specified for this keyboard.
Specified AC Adaptor: AD-5
[Rear Panel]
DC 9V jack
AC adapter AD-5
AC outlet
Also note the following important warnings and precautions when using the AC adaptor.
WARNING
Misuse of the AC adaptor creates the risk of fire and electric shock. Always make sure you observe the following precautions.
• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor that is specified for this product.
• Use only a power source whose voltage is within the rating marked on the AC adaptor.
• Do not overload electrical outlets and extension cords.
CAUTION
Misuse of the AC adaptor creates the risk of fire and electric shock. Always make sure you observe the following precautions.
• Do not locate the electric cord near a stove or other sources of heat.
• Never pull on the cord when unplugging from the electrical outlet. Always grasp the AC adaptor when unplugging.
• Insert the AC adaptor into the wall outlet as far as it will go.
• Unplug the AC adaptor from the wall outlet during lightening storms or before leaving on a trip or other long-term absence.
• At least once a year, unplug the AC adaptor from the wall outlet and wipe away any dust that is built up in the area around the prongs of the plug.
IMPORTANT!
• Make sure that the keyboard is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
• Using the AC adaptor for a long time can cause it to become warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.
Auto Power Off
When you are using battery power, keyboard power turns off automatically whenever you leave it on without performing any operation for about 6 minutes. When this happens, press the POWER button to turn power back on.
• Never place heavy objects on the cord or subject it to heat.
• Never try to modify the cord or subject it to excessive bending.
• Never twist or stretch the cord.
• Should the electric cord or plug become damaged,
contact your original retailer or authorized CASIO Service Provider.
• Never touch the AC adaptor while your hands are wet. Doing so creates the risk of electric shock.
704A-E-017A
NOTE
• Auto Power Off is disabled (it does not function) when you are using the AC adaptor to power the keyboard.
To disable Auto Power Off
Hold down the TONE button while turning on the keyboard to disable Auto Power Off.
NOTE
• When this function is turned off, the keyboard does not turn off automatically no matter how long it is left with no operation being performed.
• Auto Power Off is enabled again when you manually turn off power and then turn it back on again.

Settings and Memory Contents
Settings
Tone, rhythm, and other “main keyboard settings” in effect when power is turned off manually with the POWER button or automatically by Auto Power Off remain in effect when you next turn power back on.
Main Keyboard Settings
Main keyboard settings are: layer, split, split point, touch response, rhythm number, rhythm tempo, accompaniment volume, layered tone, split tone, layered split tone, General MIDI mode on/off, accomp MIDI OUT on/off, Assignable jack setting, keyboard channel, and voice fingering guide on/off.
Song Memory Contents
In addition to the above settings, data stored using the song memory function is also retained.
Electrical Power
The settings and memory data described above are retained as long as the keyboard is being supplied with electrical power. Unplugging the AC adaptor when batteries are not loaded or when loaded batteries are dead cuts off the keyboard’s electrical power supply. This causes all settings to be initialized to their factory defaults and clears all data stored in memory.
Power Requirements
Note the following precautions whenever you want to ensure that current keyboard settings and memory contents are not lost.
• Make sure the keyboard is being supplied power through the AC adaptor before replacing its batteries.
• Before unplugging the AC adaptor, make sure that fresh batteries are loaded in the keyboard.
Make sure that keyboard power is turned off before replacing batteries or unplugging the AC adaptor.

Connecting to a Computer or Other Equipment
You can also connect the keyboard to a computer or sequencer. See “MIDI” on page E-51 for details.
Assignable jack Terminal
You can connect an optional sustain pedal (SP-2 or SP-20) to the ASSIGNABLE JACK terminal to enable the capabilities described below.
For details on how to select the pedal function you want, see “ASSIGNABLE JACK (Default: SUS)” on page E-55.
ASSIGNABLE JACK Terminal
Audio Equipment (Figure 2)
Connect the keyboard to a audio equipment using a commercially available connecting cord with a standard plug on one end and two PIN plugs on the other end. Note that the standard plug you connect to the keyboard must be a stereo plug, otherwise you will be able to output only one of stereo channels. In this configuration, you normally set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal (usually marked AUX IN or something similar) where the cord from the keyboard is connected. See the user documentation that comes with your audio equipment for full details.
Musical Instrument Amplifier (Figure 3)
Use a commercially available connecting cord to connect the keyboard to a musical instrument amplifier.
NOTE
• Be sure to use a connecting cord that has a stereo standard plug on the end you connect to the keyboard, and a connector that provides dual channel (left and right) input to the amplifier to which you are connecting. The wrong type of connector at either end can cause one of the stereo channels to be lost.
When connected to a musical instrument amplifier, set the volume of the keyboard to a relatively low level and make output volume adjustments using the amplifier’s controls.
SP-20
Sustain Pedal
• With piano tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to linger, much like a piano’s damper pedal.
• With organ tones, depressing the pedal causes notes to continue to sound until the pedal is released.
Sostenuto Pedal
• As with the sustain pedal function described above, depressing the sostenuto pedal causes notes to be sustained.
• This difference between a sostenuto pedal and sustain pedal is the timing. With a sostenuto pedal, you press the keys and then depress the pedal before you release the keys.
• Only the notes that are sounding when the pedal is depressed are sustained.
Soft Pedal
Depressing the pedal softens the sound of the notes being played.
Rhythm Start/Stop Pedal
In this case, the pedal performs the same functions as the START/STOP button.

Basic Operations
Polyphony
The term polyphony refers to the maximum number of notes you can play at the same time. The keyboard has 24-note polyphony, which includes the notes you play as well as the rhythms and auto-accompaniment patterns that are played by the keyboard. This means that when a rhythm or auto­accompaniment pattern is being played by the keyboard, the number of notes (polyphony) available for keyboard play is reduced. Also note that some of the tones offer only 12-note polyphony.
• When rhythm or auto accompaniment is playing, the number of sounds simultaneously played is reduced.
Digital Sampling
A number of the tones that are available with this keyboard have been recorded and processed using a technique called digital sampling. To ensure a high level of tonal quality, samples are taken in the low, mid, and high ranges and then combined to provide you with sounds that are amazingly close to the originals. You may notice very slight differences in volume or sound quality for some tones when you play them at different positions on the keyboard. This is an unavoidable result of multiple sampling, and it is not a sign of malfunction.

PLAY/STOP
Your keyboard comes with a total of built-in 100 tunes. You can play back built-in tunes for your own listening pleasure, or you can use them for practice and even sing-along. Built­in tunes are divided between the two groups described below.
• Song Bank/Sing Along Group: 50 tunes for one-hand play The tunes in this group are Auto Accompaniment tunes. A Song Bank Group tune can be used during a lesson for melody part practice. If you connect a microphone to the keyboard and enter the Sing Along Mode*, you can sing along with the built-in tune. * The Sing Along Mode reduces the volume of the melody
part of the built-in tunes and changes the tone selection to one that makes it easier for a vocalist to follow.
• Piano Bank Group: 50 tunes for two-hand play The piano tunes in this group are subdivided between 20 etudes and 30 concert pieces. A Piano Bank Group tune can be used during a lesson for left-hand part and right-hand part practice.
