Connections

IMPORTANT!

• Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the MAIN VOLUME knob of the digital piano and the volume controller

of the external equipment to relatively low volume settings. You can later adjust volume to the level you want after connections are complete.

Connecting Headphones

Connect commercially available headphones to the digital piano’s PHONES jacks. This cuts off the built-in speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without disturbing others. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones.

Connecting an audio or musical instrument amplifier

Connecting to an audio or musical instrument amplifier provides even clearer, more powerful sound through external speakers.

IMPORTANT!

• The digital piano automatically adjusts sound output to optimize for headphone output (when headphones are connected) or builtin speaker output (when headphones are not connected). Note that this feature also affects the sound output from the LINE OUT R and L/MONO jacks.

Connecting to Audio Equipment 1

Use commercially available cables to connect the external audio equipment to the digital piano’s LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 1. R jack output is right channel sound, while L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. It is up to you to purchase connecting cables like the ones shown in the illustration for connection of audio equipment. Normally in this configuration you must set the audio equipment’s input selector to the setting that specifies the terminal (such as AUX IN) to which the digital piano is connected. Use the digital piano’s MAIN VOLUME knob to adjust the volume level.

Connecting to a Musical Instrument Amplifier 2

Use commercially available cables to connect the amplifier to the digital piano’s LINE OUT jacks as shown in Figure 2. R jack output is right channel sound, while L/MONO jack output is left channel sound. Connecting to the L/MONO jack only outputs a mixture of both channels. It is up to you to purchase connecting cables like the ones shown in the illustration for connection of the amplifier. Use the digital piano’s MAIN VOLUME knob to adjust the volume level.

Selecting and Using Built-in Tones

Using the Digital Piano’s Pedals

The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks, one for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal. You can use the procedure below to specify the type of operation that should be performed by the pedal connected to the PEDAL SOFT/ SOSTENUTO jack.

SP-3

Pedal Types

● Damper Pedal

Pressing the pedal connected to the DAMPER jack while playing notes causes the notes to sustain until you release the pedal.

● Soft Pedal

While the SOFT pedal is depressed, the volume of notes played on the keyboard is reduced slightly, producing a softer sound. Only notes that are played after the pedal is depressed are affected, while previously played notes are not.

● Sostenuto Pedal

Like the DAMPER pedal, pressing the SOSTENUTO pedal causes notes to continue to sustain until you release the pedal. The difference is the timing when the effect is applied. With the sostenuto pedal you play the notes and then depress the pedal before releasing the keyboard keys. Only the notes whose keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is pressed are affected.

Using the PITCH BEND Wheel

Rotating the PITCH BEND wheel causes the pitch of notes to bend. This lets you add realistic effects to saxophone, electric guitar, and other tones.

While playing a note on the keyboard, rotate the PITCH

BEND wheel on the left of the keyboard upwards or downwards.

• Releasing the PITCH BEND wheel will cause the pitch to return to its normal setting automatically.

Using the Metronome

Press the METRONOME button.

• This starts the metronome.

Rotate the dial to select the number of beats per

measure.

• Note that you need to select the number of beats per measure with the dial within a few seconds after turning on the metronome. If you don’t, the display will exit the setting screen.

Me t r o n ome 0 B e a t : 00000

[

0]00000000000000

• You can select a value in the range of 2 through 6. With each setting, a chime sounds as the first beat of each measure, and the remaining beats sound as clicks. Specifying 0 as the setting plays a straight click, without any chime. This setting lets you practice with a steady beat.

Use the TEMPO buttons to adjust the tempo.

Using Auto Accompaniment

With Auto Accompaniment, the digital piano automatically plays rhythm, bass, and chord parts in accordance with chords you select using simplified keyboard fingerings, or chords you play. Auto Accompaniment makes it feel like you have your own private backup group with you all the time.

Using the MODE Button

You can use the MODE button to select the accompaniment mode you want to use. You can also use it to turn off Auto Accompaniment. Each press of the MODE button cycles through accompaniment modes in the sequence shown below.

Playing a Rhythm

Use a CASIO CHORD fingering to play the first chord

within the accompaniment keyboard range.

• See “How to Play Chords” on this page for information about how to finger chords with the different chord modes.

• Playing a chord will cause the intro pattern for the selected rhythm to play, followed by the Auto Accompaniment rhythm and chord pattern.

Use CASIO CHORD fingerings to play other chords.

• You can insert a fill-in pattern while an Auto Accompaniment is playing by pressing the NORMAL/ FILL-IN button. A fill-in helps to change the mood of the Auto Accompaniment pattern.

To play with Auto Accompaniment

Getting Ready

• Use the procedures under “Playing a Rhythm” to select the rhythm you want to use and adjust the tempo.

Use the MODE button to select CASIO CHORD,

FINGERED, or FULL RANGE CHORD as the accompaniment mode.

• Here we will select the CASIO CHORD mode.

• See page E-11 for information about selecting the

accompaniment mode.

How to Play Chords

The way you finger chords depends on the current chord mode.

■ NORMAL

In this mode, Auto Accompaniment is turned off, so you can play chords as you would normally do on a piano keyboard.

■ CASIO CHORD

Even if you do not know how to play chords normally, this mode lets you play four different types of chords using simplified fingerings in the accompaniment area of the keyboard. The following shows where the accompaniment area is located, and explains how to finger chords in the CASIO CHORD mode.

CASIO CHORD Mode Keyboard

Accompaniment Area Melody Area

IMPORTANT!

• In the CASIO CHORD mode, the keys in the accompaniment area of the keyboard operate as “chord switches” only. You cannot use the keys in this area to play notes.

Press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button.

• This configures the digital piano so rhythm and chord accompaniment will start automatically when you press any keys within the accompaniment keyboard range.

NOTE

• See the “Fingered Chord Chart” on page A-6 for information about fingering chords with other roots in the accompaniment area.

below

for more information about inverted chords.

*2: For these chords, the same chord is specified even if the G fifth

is not fingered.

NOTE

• Except for the chords whose names have *1 after them in the above examples, you can also use inverted fingerings for chords. This means, for example, that you could use the fingering E-G-C or G-C-E instead of C-E-G for C major.

• Except for the chords whose names have *2 after them in the above examples, you need to press all of the indicated keys in order to finger a chord. Failure to include even a single note may produce a chord that is different from the one you want.

■ FULL RANGE CHORD

The FULL RANGE CHORD mode lets you play a total of 38 different types of chords (the same chords available in the FINGERED mode plus 23 more). FULL RANGE CHORD recognizes the pressing of three or more keyboard keys anywhere on the keyboard as a chord fingering. Anything else (pressing one or two keys, or playing any group of notes that does not form a chord fingering that is recognized by the keyboard) is treated as melody notes.

● Local Control

When Local Control is turned on, pressing the keyboard’s keys plays the notes using the currently selected built-in tone, and also sends the applicable MIDI messages out the MIDI OUT port. Turning off Local Control causes MIDI messages to be sent out the MIDI OUT port, but the nothing is played by the digital piano’s sound source when keys are pressed. This comes in handy when you want to turn off the piano’s keyboard and use its auto accompaniment feature to accompany an external sequencer or other device.

Using a Memory Card

The digital piano has a card slot that accepts SmartMediaTM memory cards. This provides you with the means to store virtually unlimited amounts of user song and other data from digital piano memory. SmartMedia memory cards are available in capacities ranging from 8MB up to 128MB. The cost of a card varies according to its capacity. Note also that SmartMedia memory cards are available for two different voltages: 3.3V and 5V. This digital piano supports the use of 3.3V cards. Though a SmartMedia memory card is about the size of a postage stamp, it has anywhere from eight times to 100 times the storage capacity of a floppy diskette, and it provides very high-speed access. SmartMedia memory cards are available from household appliance stores, computer shops, etc.

* SmartMediaTM is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.

NOTE

• The term “memory card” in this manual refers to the SmartMedia memory card.

Memory Cards

IMPORTANT!

• Be sure to use only a 3.3V SmartMedia memory card that has one of the following capacities.

8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB

WARNING

• Use of 5V SmartMedia memory cards is not supported.

• Note that you will not be able store data to, delete data from, or

Memory Card and Card Slot Handling Precautions

IMPORTANT!

• When using a memory card, make sure you observe all of the precautions in the instructions that come with it.

• Avoid using a memory card in the following types of areas. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on the memory card.

• Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, and

corrosive gas

• Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and digital noise

• Never touch the contacts of a memory card when loading it or

removing it from the digital piano.

• Never remove the memory card from the card slot or turn off the digital piano while any data access operation (save, read, delete) is in progress. Doing so can corrupt the data on the memory card and damage the card slot.

• Never insert anything besides a memory card into the card slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Inserting a memory card that carries an electrostatic charge into the card slot can cause malfunction of the digital piano. If this happens, turn digital piano power off and then back on again.

• A memory card can become quite warm after very long use in the card slot. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

• A memory card has a limited service life. If you start to experience problems with storing, reading, or deleting data from a memory card you have been using for a long time, it may mean that the card has reached the end of its service life. When this happens, you need to purchase a new card.

Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held liable for any loss of data stored on a memory card.

Operational Precautions

Locating the Unit

Avoid the following locations.

• Areas exposed to direct sunlight and high humidity

• Areas subjected to very low temperatures

• Near a radio, TV, video deck, or tuner (unit can cause interference

with audio or video signals)

Care of the Unit

• Never use benzene, alcohol, thinner or other such chemicals to clean the exterior of the unit.

• To clean the keyboard, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of a mild neutral detergent and water. Wring out all excess moisture from the cloth before wiping.

Memory Protection

A built-in lithium battery supplies the power required to retain digital piano settings and memory contents when power is turned off. Should the lithium battery go dead, settings and memory contents (Song Memory data, registration memory data, user songs, display contrast setting, etc.) will be lost whenever you turn off digital piano power. Note that the original built-in lithium battery has a life of about five years from the date the digital piano was manufactured. Be sure to periodically contact your retailer or authorized service provider to have the lithium battery replaced. Note that you will be charged separately for lithium battery replacement.

• Note that CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held liable for any damages or losses or any claims by third parties arising from corruption or loss of data caused by malfunction or repair of the unit, or from battery replacement.

You may notice lines in the finish of the case of this product. These lines are the result of the molding process used to shape the plastic of the case. They are not cracks or breaks in the plastic, and are no cause for concern.

NOTE

• CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. shall not be held liable for any damages or losses or any claims by third parties arising from use of this product or this manual.

• The contents of this manual are subject to change without notice.

Precauciones durante la operación

Ubicación de la unidad

Evite las siguientes ubicaciones.

• Las áreas expuestas directamente a la luz del sol y alta humedad.

• Areas sujetas a temperaturas muy bajas.

• Cerca de una radio, TV, platina de video o sintonizador (la unidad puede ocasionar interferencias con las señales de audio o video).

Cuidado de la unidad

• No utilice benceno, alcohol, diluyentes u otros agentes químicos para limpiar el exterior de la unidad.

• Para limpiar el teclado, utilice un paño suave humedecido con una solución débil de un detergente neutro suave y agua. Exprima todo exceso de humedad del paño antes de limpiar.

Protección de memoria

Una pila de litio incorporada proporciona la energía necesaria para retener los ajustes del piano digital y contenidos de la memoria, cuando la alimentación está desactivada. En caso de que la pila se agote,k los ajustes y contenidos de la memoria (datos de la memoria de canción, datos de la memoria de registro, canciones del usuario, ajuste de contraste del display, etc.) se perderán siempre que desactiva la alimentación del piano digital. Tenga en cuenta que la pila de litio incorporada original tiene una duración de cinco años desde la fecha en que se ha fabricado el piano. Asegúrese de comunicarse periódicamente con su vendedor o agente de servicio autorizado para que reemplacen la pila. Tenga en cuenta que el reemplazo de la pila de litio deberá ser abonado separadamente.

• Tenga en cuenta que CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. no asume ninguna responsabilidad ante ningún daño o pérdida, ni tampoco de reclamos hechos por terceras partes que resulten de la alteración o pérdidas de datos de la unidad, debido a una falla de funcionamiento, reparación de la unidad o a un cambio de pila.

Se pueden observar líneas en el acabado de la caja de este producto. Estas líneas son un resultado de un proceso de moldeo usado para dar forma al plástico de la caja. No son grietas ni fisuras en el plástico, por lo tanto no deben ser motivos de preocupación.
