Power Outlet

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

Using an AC Adaptor

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

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-E24250LW

• Use the supplied power cord to connect the AC

adaptor as shown in the illustration below.

Household power outlet

Power cord

DC 24V terminal AC adaptor

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 Keyboard’s VOLUME controller (2)

to adjust the volume.

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

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

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 Keyboard, 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 Keyboard to any other device besides this Digital Keyboard. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Make sure the Digital Keyboard 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 the Digital Keyboard while this message is displayed.

• Pressing the 1 P button to turn off power actually

puts the Digital Keyboard into a standby state. Minute amounts of current continue to flow within the Digital Keyboard in the standby state. If you do not plan to use the Digital Keyboard 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 Keyboard 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-55).

Connections

Connecting Headphones

• Before connecting headphones, be sure to use the Digital Keyboard’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.

fk PHONES jack

Headphones

Front

Connect headphones to the PHONES jack. Connecting headphones to 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.

• Be sure to push the headphones plug into the PHONES jack 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 jack, 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 Keyboard and then play through external speakers for more powerful volume and better sound quality.

• While sound output from the speakers is disabled,* the Digital Keyboard 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-55) turned off.

• Whenever connecting a device to the Digital Keyboard, 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.

• Whenever you connect any device to the Digital Keyboard, be sure to read the user documentation that comes with the device.

■ EFFECT Screen

Use this screen to apply variety of acoustic effects to notes. Your Digital Keyboard has three types of effects, each of which includes the effects described below.

A) Digital Signal Processor (DSP)

A collection of versatile Normal DSP effects help to enhance the sound of tones. For example, distortion can be applied to an electric guitar sound to make it sound more powerful. There are 20 different Normal DSP types, and the most appropriate one for the selected tone is applied automatically.

B) System Effects (SYSTEM)

These effects are shared by all Digital Keyboard parts. The depth of an effect can be adjusted by specifying the send level from the part to each system effect.

• Chorus: Combines multiple layers of the same note to create a sound with more depth.

• Delay: Delays the input signal and feeds it back to create a repeating effect and give notes more breadth.

• Reverb: Adds reverberation to make it sound like you are playing in a room or in a hall.

C) Master Effects (MASTER)

These effects are applied to the Digital Keyboard master output signal.

• Equalizer (Master Equalizer (EQ)): Adjusts the master frequency characteristics. The Master Equalizer can be

used to adjust the frequency and gain of four frequency bands: low, mid1, mid2, and high.

• Compressor (Master Compressor): Compresses the instrument master output signal. This effect can be used to

suppress level dispersion and limit the level of the input signal so it does not exceed the setting value.

effect.

Level Adjusts the output level. 0 to 127 Attack Adjusts the time until the compression effect starts. A smaller

value causes prompt compressor operation, which suppresses

the attack of the input signal. A larger values delays

Page

Digital noise from the USB cable or power cord caused data communication between your computer and Digital Keyboard to be interrupted.

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

Performing a button operation while playing with the Auto Accompaniment, recorder, or other functions can cause such phenomena when the Digital Keyboard switches internal tone effects. It does not indicate malfunction.

The ranges of certain tones are limited, which means that octaves change normally up to a certain low note or high note. With such a tone, the notes of the lowest octave will be repeated to the left of the lowest possible note, and the highest octave will be repeated to the right of the highest possible note. This is due do limitations in the range of the original musical instrument for each tone, and does not indicate malfunction of the Digital Keyboard.

Stop song playback, disconnect the USB cable from the Digital Keyboard, and then reconnect it. Next, try playing back the song again. If this does not solve the problem, quit the MIDI software you are using, disconnect the USB cable from the Digital Keyboard, and then reconnect it. Next, restart the MIDI software and then try playing back the song again.
