Connecting Headphones

Connect commercially available headphones to the
digital piano’s headphones jack. This cuts off the built­in 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.

IMPORTANT!

• Whenever connecting headphone, first set the
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.

• Damper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause
the notes you play to reverberate for a very long
time. When GRAND PIANO or GRAND PIANO 2
is selected as the tone, using this pedal causes note
to reverberate just like the pedal on an acoustic

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

• Sostenuto Pedal

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

Using MIDI

What is MIDI?

The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital
Interface, which is the name of a worldwide standard
for digital signals and connectors that makes it possible
to exchange musical data between musical
instruments and computers (machines) produced by
different manufacturers.

NOTE

•

For detailed information about MIDI Implementation,
visit the CASIO website at: http://world.casio.com/.

MIDI Settings

1

Send Channel

Use this setting to specify one of the MIDI channels
(1 through 16) as the Send Channel for sending
MIDI messages to an external device.

2

Local Control

This setting controls whether or not power is cut off
internally from the piano’s keyboard and sound
source. Turning off Local Control cuts off power to
the keyboard and source, which means that the piano
does not produce any sound when played. This
comes in handy when you want to turn off the piano’s
keyboard and play back from an external sequencer
or other device

While holding down the FUNCTION

1

button, press one the keyboard keys shown
below to configure the setting you want.

Assembling the Stand

Unpacking

Getting Ready

• Before starting assembly, check to make sure that you have
all the parts shown below. You can find the screws in a plastic
bag inside of the polystyrene foam packing material.

• This stand does not include any of the tools required for
assembly. It is up to you to prepare a large Philips head
(+) screwdriver for assembly.

When assembling the stand and speaker box C, lay
the stand down so it is on its side.

Getting Ready

• Use the four pieces of polystyrene foam to secure side

panels A and B in place. You will have an easier time
assembling the stand if you raise the side panels up off
the ground as shown in the illustration.

• If you do not have any packing material available, use a
magazine or some other thick item.

• Align the holes in speaker box C with the holes

in the side panels, and secure them together
using the screws D.

• Partially tighten the screws on one side of the

speaker box C and then tighten the screws on
the other side completely.

• Next, fully tighten the screws that you partially
tightened.

Assembling the Stand

CAUTION

• This stand should be assembled by two people
working together.

• The stand should be assembled on a flat surface.

• Do not remove the tape securing the keyboard cover

in place until assembly is complete. Removing the
tape can cause the keyboard cover to open and close
during assembly, creating the risk of personal injury
to your hands and fingers.

• Take care that you do not pinch your fingers between
parts when assembling them.

•

When placing the digital piano unit on the floor, be sure
to place it on something soft (a blanket, cushion, etc.).
Do not place the digital piano directly onto the floor.

No sound produced by connected
external MIDI sound source when
the digital piano keys are pressed.

A tone’s quality and volume
sounds slightly different
depending where it is played on
the keyboard.

1. The digital piano Send Channel
does not match the Send
Channel of the MIDI sound
source.

2. Volume or expression setting of
the external sound source is set
to 0.

This is an unavoidable result of the digital sampling process,* and does not indicate
malfunction.
* 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 a very slight difference
in tonal quality and volume between sample ranges.

1. Change the Send Channel
settings so they are identical.

2. Change the volume or
expression setting of the
external sound source to an
appropriate value.
