General Guide

LCD Panel

The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.

Saving Settings and Using Panel Lock

Your Digital Piano lets you save its current settings, and lock its buttons to protect against operation errors. For details, see “Auto Resume” (page EN-75) and “Operation Lock” (page EN-74).

Returning the Digital Piano to Its Factory Default Settings

Perform the following procedure when you want to return the Digital Piano’s stored data and settings to their initial factory defaults.

Turn off the Digital Piano.

While holding down the cm TEMPO w, q buttons, press the 1 P button.

• The Digital Piano will turn on and initialize its

internal system. You will be able to use the Digital Piano in a short while.

• See “Turning Power On or Off” (page EN-7) for

information about turning power on and off.

EN-6

Power Outlet

Your Digital Piano runs on standard household power. Be sure to turn off power whenever you are not using the Digital Piano.

Using an AC Adaptor

Use only the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified polarity plug) that comes with this Digital Piano. Use of a different type of AC adaptor can cause malfunction of the Digital Piano.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-A12150LW

• Use the supplied power cord to connect the AC

adaptor as shown in the illustration below.

Household power outlet

Power cord

Note the following important precautions to avoid damage to the power cord.

• Configuration and type depends on your geographic location.

Turning Power On or Off

Press the 1 P button to turn on power.

• Do not touch the keyboard, pedals, or buttons while

the startup screen is on the display. Doing so will cause malfunction.

• Use the Digital Piano’s VOLUME controller (2) to

adjust the volume.

To turn off the Digital Piano, hold down the 1 P button until the Digital Piano’s display goes blank.

• The message shown below may appear while data is being saved to Digital Piano memory or immediately after you turn on the Digital Piano.

English

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 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.

• Make sure the Digital Piano is turned off before plugging in or unplugging the AC adaptor.

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

• Use the AC adaptor so its label surface is pointed downwards. The AC adaptor becomes prone to emitting electromagnetic waves when the label surface is facing upwards.

Never turn off Digital Piano power while this message is displayed.

• Pressing the 1 P button 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.

EN-7

Power Outlet

Auto Power Off

This Digital Piano is designed to turn off automatically to avoid wasting power after no operation is performed for a preset amount of time. The Auto Power Off trigger time is about four hours.

• You can disable Auto Power Off, if you want. For details, see “Auto Power Off” under “SYSTEM SETTING Screen” (page EN-74).

EN-8

Connections

Connecting Headphones

• Before connecting headphones, be sure to use the Digital Piano’s 2 VOLUME controller to turn the volume down to a low level. After connecting, you can adjust the volume to the level you want.

• While sound output from the speakers is disabled,* the Digital Piano automatically optimizes sound for headphones and LINE OUT listening. During speaker output, it automatically switches to optimization for listening with speakers.

* Plug inserted into the PHONES jack or “Speaker”

SYSTEM SETTING Screen (page EN-74) turned off.

Front

Commercially available headphones

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jacks. Connecting headphones to either of the PHONES jacks 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.

• 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.

PHONES jacks

Connecting a Pedal

The back of the Digital Piano has two pedal jacks, one for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal.

To connect to the pedal jack

Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal to perform, connect the pedal’s cable either to the Digital Piano’s DAMPER PEDAL jack or ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack.

Back

PEDAL jacks

Pedal Functions

z Damper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes you play to reverberate.

• Whenever a piano tone is selected, pressing this

pedal will activate the Digital Piano’s Damper Resonance effect, which causes notes to resonate in the same way they do when the damper pedal on an acoustic piano is pressed.

Soft Pedal

Pressing this pedal suppresses notes played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes them sound softer.

z Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this pedal is pressed are sustained, even if the keyboard keys are released, until the pedal is released.

Changing the Tempo Setting

There are two different methods you can use to change the tempo setting: using the cm TEMPO w, q buttons for gradual change, or by tapping a beat with the cm TEMPO TAP button (tap input).

■ Method 1: To adjust the tempo setting using the TEMPO w, q buttons

Use the cm TEMPO w, q buttons to adjust the tempo setting.

Each press of a button increases or decreases the tempo value (beats per minute) by one.

• Holding down either button changes the value at

high speed.

• You can specify a tempo value in the range of 20 to

255.

Using the Pitch Bend Wheel

You can use the pitch bend wheel to slide the pitch of notes smoothly upwards and downwards. This capability makes it possible to reproduce saxophone and electric guitar choking effects.

While playing a note on the keyboard, rotate the dm PITCH BEND wheel on the left of the keyboard upwards or downwards.

The amount the note bends depends on how much you rotate the pitch bend wheel.

• Do not touch the pitch bend wheel as

you turn on the Digital Piano.

• You also can configure pitch bend wheel operation

by specifying the amount of pitch change at maximum rotation in either direction. See “CONTROLLER Screen” (page EN-76) for more information.

Modifying Notes with the Modulation Wheel and Knobs

■ Method 2: To adjust the tempo by tapping a beat (tap input)

Tap the cm TEMPO TAP button a number of times at the tempo you want to set.

• The tempo setting will change in accordance with

your tapping.

Tap two or more times.

• After you use this method to specify the approximate

tempo, you can then use the procedure under “To adjust the tempo setting using the cm TEMPO w, q buttons” to adjust the setting to a more exact value.

You can modify notes even while you are playing. Each tone is preset with effects that are appropriate for it.

While playing on the keyboard with your right hand, use your left hand to operate the dn MODULATION wheel or the bn knobs (K1 through K3).

The amount effect applied depends on how much the applicable control is moved.

• Do not touch the wheel or knobs as you turn on the

Digital Piano.

• You can change the effects and functions assigned to

the modulation wheel and knobs. See “CONTROLLER Screen” under “Configuring Digital Piano Settings” (pages EN-68 through EN-81).
