E-3

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

Back

AC adaptor AD-A12150LW

Household powerDC 12V terminal

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.

• The power cord should not be stretched tight while it is in use.

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!

• Never connect the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified polarity plug) that comes with this digital piano to any other device besides this 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.

AC Plug Configurations

Depending on the geographic area, your digital piano may come with a second AC plug. Use the AC plug that matches the configuration of the wall outlet in your area. The AC adaptor is shipped from the factory with one of the AC plugs shown below installed.

■ To change the AC plug

Perform the following steps when you need to change the AC plug that is installed on the AC adaptor.

Slide the plug in the direction of the arrow in Figure 1, and remove it from the AC adaptor.

Align the plug that matches the power outlet of your area with the AC adaptor slots. Slide it in place in the direction of the arrow shown in Figure 2.

Press the part indicated by the arrow in Figure 3 until the plug clicks securely into place.

IMPORTANT!

• Should the AC plug come off of the AC adaptor, slide it back on as shown in the illustration. Slide the AC plug along the rails on the AC adaptor as far as it will go, until it locks securely in place.

Connections

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

Left side

PHONES jacks

Commercially available headphones

Stereo mini plug

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jacks. 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.

Connecting Audio Equipment (Figure 1)

Use commercially available connecting cords (Mini Plug × 1, Pin Plugs × 2) to connect as shown in Figure

1. Make sure that the end of the cord that you connect to the digital piano is a stereo mini plug. A monaural standard plug will result in output of only one of the two stereo channels. Normally, you should set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal where the digital piano is connected (AUX IN, etc.) Adjust volume using the digital piano’s VOLUME controller.

Connecting a Music Amplifier (Figure 2)

Connect the connecting cord* to one of the types of amplifiers shown in Figure 2. Adjust volume using the digital piano’s VOLUME controller.

Connecting a Pedal

Connecting the supplied pedal (SP-3) to the DAMPER PEDAL jack makes it possible to use the pedal as a

damper pedal. Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes you play to reverberate for a very long time.

• When a GRAND PIANO tone (MODERN, CLASSIC, VARIATION) is selected as the tone, pressing this pedal will cause notes to reverberate just like the damper pedal on an acoustic grand piano.

SP-32 Pedal Functions

z Damper Pedal

In addition to the damper pedal functions described in the column to the left, the SP-32 pedal also supports half-pedal operation, so pressing the pedal part way applies only a partial damper effect.

z 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 that are played while this pedal are depressed are sustained until the pedal is released.

SP-3

Pedal Connector

You can connect the optionally available 3-Pedal Unit (SP-32) to the pedal connector on the bottom of the digital piano. You can then use the pedals for expression that is similar to that available on an acoustic piano.

Playing with Different Tones

NOTE

• GRAND PIANO tones (MODERN, CLASSIC) Your digital piano has a total of 16 built-in tones. The MODERN and CLASSIC tones are stereo sampled tones that can be selected using the GRAND PIANO buttons. Try using the GRAND PIANO tones to familiarize yourself with their distinctive sounds and characteristics.

Tone Name Characteristics

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 strong 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 grand piano. Reverb and other effects are kept to a minimum in order to enhance the impact of piano pedals operations (acoustic resonance), for musically delicate expressions. This tone is a good choice for lesson and practice sessions.

• The GRAND PIANO tone (VARIATION) is best for playing along with an accompaniment.

To adjust the brilliance of a tone

While holding down the FUNCTION button, use the BRILLIANCE keys to specify a brilliance value in the range of –3 to 0 to 3.

For this type of sound:

Mellower and softer

Brighter and harder

Press this keyboard key:

Bass Tones (BASS 1, BASS 2)

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

2) in step 2 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.

NOTE

• To return the keyboard to a single tone, select any tone other than BASS 1 or BASS 2.

• You cannot select BASS 1 or BASS 2 when recording to Track 2.

NOTE

• To return a tone to its initial default setting “0”, press T and S at the same time.
