WARNING - When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following.
WARNING
The product should be connected to
an AC outlet of the specied voltage.
Do not insert or disconnect the power
cord plug with wet hands.
Take care not to allow any foreign
matter to enter the product.
The chair must be used properly (it must be
used only when playing the product).
• Do not play with it or stand on it.

When using the headphones, do not
listen for long periods of
time at high volume levels.
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in death or
serious injury if the product is handled incorrectly.
120V 240V230V
• If you are going to use an AC power cord,
make sure that its has the correct plug shape
and conforms to the specied power voltage.
• Failure to do so may result in re.
Doing so may cause electric shock.
Entry of water, needles or hair pins may result
in breakdown or short-circuit.
The product shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing. No objects lled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the product.
Doing so may cause the chair to fall over or your
ngers to be trapped, resulting in injury.
Doing so may result in hearing problems.
Important Information
Do not lean against the keyboard.
Do not disassemble, repair or modify
the product.
When disconnecting the AC power cord's
plug, always hold the plug
and pull it to remove it.

o. If the product will not be used for a long time,
unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
Doing so may cause the product to fall over,
resulting in injury.
Doing so may result in product breakdown, electric
shock or short-circuit.
• Pulling the AC power cord itself may damage
the cord, causing a re, electric shock or
short-circuit.
• Failure to do so may cause re in case of
lightning.
• Failure to do so may over-heat the product,
resulting in re.
This product may be equipped with a polarized line plug (one blade wider
than the other). This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug.
It is a good practice to have the instrument near the AC outlet and the power cord plug in a position
so that it can readily be disconnected in an emergency because electricity is always charging
while the plug is in the AC outlet even in a power switch o condition.

Welcome to the Kawai CA49 digital piano
Thank you for purchasing this Kawai CA49 digital piano.
This owner’s manual contains important information regarding the instrument’s usage and operation.
Please read all sections carefully, keeping this manual handy for future reference.
1
Feature Highlights
Grand Feel Compact wooden-key action with Ivory Touch key surfaces and “Let-O” mechanism
The CA49 digital piano utilises Kawai’s Grand Feel Compact keyboard action, which draws upon 90 years of acoustic piano
craftsmanship to provide an exceptionally realistic playing experience. All 88 black and white keys are crafted entirely from
long pieces of wood, with nely textured I vor y Touch key surfaces applied to assist playing control.
As with an acoustic grand piano action, the keys rest on a metal balance pin and move with a smooth seesaw-like motion,
while the extended pivot length ensures a consistent, evenly-balanced touch weight – even when playing towards the back
of the key. The Grand Feel Compact action also incorporates grade-weighted hammers, bass region counterweights, and
let-o simulation for added authenticity, while its accurate triple-sensor key detection system allows rapidly repeated notes
such as trills to be performed smoothly, without unnatural breaks in sound.
Important Information
Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and Kawai EX instruments reproduced with Harmonic Imaging sound technology
The CA49 digital piano captures the magnicent tone of Kawai’s agship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX full concert grand piano.
Widely regarded as the “premier pianos of Japan”, Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical
institutions throughout the world, and are prized for their exceptional tonal clarity. In addition, the CA49 also features the
distinctive sound of Kawai’s highly acclaimed EX concert grand piano, which has frequently been selected by professional
pianists in such prestigious events as the Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Rubinstein international piano competitions, among
others.
Both instruments have been carefully recorded, meticulously analysed, and faithfully reproduced with full 88-key sampling
using Harmonic Imaging™ sound technology. This unique process accurately recreates the broad dynamic range of the
original grand pianos, aording pianists an extraordinary level of expressiveness ranging from the softest pianissimo to the
strongest, boldest fortissimo.
Integrated Bluetooth® MIDI connectivity
In addition to standard MIDI jacks for connecting to other instruments, the CA49 digital piano also boasts integrated
Bluetooth MIDI technology that allows the instrument to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once
connected to a phone, tablet, or laptop, CA49 digital piano owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting music-related apps
that enhance their learning and playing experience without additional cables.
* Availability of Bluetooth function dependent on market location.
Internal Song recorder, Built-in Lesson Function
The CA49 digital piano features a three song recorder, allowing performances to be recorded to internal memory and
played back at the touch of a button.
In addition, the convenient lesson feature allows aspiring pianists to learn the piano using a built-in collection of etudes
from Czerny and Burgmüller, or songs from the popular Alfred course books. The left and right hand parts for each piece
can be practiced separately, while adjusting the tempo allows more dicult passages to be perfected.

Pedals
As with a grand piano, the CA49 digital piano features three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.
Sustain pedal (right pedal)
Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands have
been lifted from the keyboard – greatly enriching the piano
sound, while also assisting smooth “legato” passages.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.
Soft pedal
Sostenuto pedal
Sustain pedal
Soft pedal (left pedal)
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.
When the Jazz Organ sound is selected, the soft pedal is also
used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between
“Slow” and “Fast” eect modes.
Pedal support bolt
A pedal support bolt is attached at the base of the pedal board
to aid stability when the pedals are pushed.
Turn the bolt anti-clockwise until it makes contact with the oor
and supports the pedals rmly. If the pedal support bolt does
not make contact with the oor, the pedal board may become
damaged.
When moving the instrument, always adjust or remove the pedal
support bolt, then readjust when the instrument is in its new position.
Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)
Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before
releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that
have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after
the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.
Pedal support bolt
Preparation
Caring for the pedals
If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge.
Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or les.
Grand Feel Pedal System
The CA49 digital piano features the Grand Feel Pedal System, which replicates the sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedal weighting of a
Shigeru Kawai SK Concert Grand piano.
