5 Connectivity options
On the connection box you find the headphones outlets 1 and 2.
Connecting headphones (not supplied) to outlet 2 mutes the speakers.
Using outlet 1 maintains the sound output through the speakers.
Connect the foot pedal to the provided connector on the bottom of the pedal box.
Pedal functions:
Soft pedal
Using the Soft pedal makes the piano sound smoother and the overall volume is
attenuated.
Sostenuto pedal
When stepping on the Sostenuto pedal, the currently played notes linger until you
release the pedal.
Sustain pedal
With the sustain pedal all played notes sound longer. This effect simulates the
lifting of the damper in an analogue keyboard instrument.
The USB port provides data exchange with a computer.
MIDI stands for ‘Musical Instrument Digital Interface’ and represents a global
standard for the communication of numerous electronic instruments and sound
modules. MIDI data generated by the digital piano is sent to other MIDI devices
through this port.

9 Troubleshooting
Problem Possible causes and solutions
You hear a 'pop' sound from the speakers when switching the
digital piano on and off.
This is normal. No need to worry.
No sound can be heard when playing the piano. Make sure that the volume control is set appropriately.
Check if headphones are plugged into the headphone output
2. Connecting headphones will mute the speakers of the dig‐
ital piano.
Check in the function menu that the built-in sound system is
activated. When activating, the display shows ‘Local On’.
Malfunction occurs when using a mobile phone. Using a mobile phone near the digital piano can cause inter‐
ference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it
only at a safe distance.
