• Configuration and type depends on your geographic location.

Note the following important precautions 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.

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 Headphones

Back

PHONES jacks

Stereo standard plug

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.

Playing with Different Tones

NOTE

• Of the digital piano’s 18 built-in tones, the first five are grand piano tone. Each tone has its own distinctive merits, so you should select the tone that suits the song you are playing along with or your own personal preferences. The CONCERT and MODERN tones are assigned to buttons for quick and easy selection.

Tone Name Characteristics

CONCERT This is a full concert grand piano tone

that uses Linear Morphing* for dynamic and natural tone changes. This tone is designed to reproduce damper, resonance, and other piano nuances, which makes it ideal for virtually any type of piano performance.

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 deep 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 piano. Though reverb and other flashy effects are subdued for this tone, resonance is more pronounced, which enables expression of delicate nuances. This tone is a good choice for lesson

and practice sessions. MELLOW Warm and mellow piano tone BRIGHT Bright and clear piano tone

Bass Tones (BASS 1, BASS 2)

Selecting either of the two BASS (LOWER) tones (1 or

2) in step 1 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.

Digital Piano memory data was corrupted because a data transfer operation with a computer was in progress the last time you turned off the piano. When this happens, the Digital Piano performs a memory format operation the next time you turn it on. You cannot perform any other operation while a format operation is in progress.

This is an unavoidable result of the digital sampling process, * 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.
