Quick Start
1. QUICK START
1.1 SETTING UP THE PIANO
The first thing you’ll need to do before playing the piano is to set up the
instrument.
ASSEMBLING THE STAND
First, you need to assemble the stand unit. Assemble the stand following
the instructions at the beginning of this manual.
SUPPLYING AC POWER
The CE200 piano is equipped with stereo speakers and an amplifier. You
do not need any other equipment to play your piano. You can enjoy the
CE200 piano wherever AC power is available. Simply connect the power
cable that comes with the CE200 piano to an AC outlet.
Connect the AC power cable to the piano’s power jack and the
other end of the cable to the AC outlet on the wall.
1.2 POWER SWITCH
Press this button to turn on the power.
Pressing it again will turn off the power.
1.3 VOLUME SLIDER
1.4 HEADPHONES
1.5 DEMO SONGS
Pressing this button while holding down the REC and PLAY/STOP buttons
will erase all the songs currently stored in the Recorder. (See page 26.)
This slider controls the master volume level of the piano’s sound.
Move this slider to the right to increase the volume and move to
the left to decrease the volume.
This slider also controls the headphone’s volume and the LINE output
level of the piano’s sound.
For private performances you may want to use the headphones. The
speakers will be turned off automatically when the headphones are
plugged in, and the CE200 piano will only be heard through the
headphones. The CE200 piano has two headphones jacks.
The CE200 has 18 built-in sound demo songs. Each of the demo songs
presents a musical piece to introduce the different preset sounds.
12 KAWAI DIGITAL PIANO CE200
Press the DEMO button and the demo song for the Piano 1 category
will start. After the Piano 1 demo songs are finished playing, the demo
songs for another sound category will be selected at random.
If you would like to listen to the demos for a particular category, just
press the desired SOUND SELECT button while the demo is playing. When
you press the button, the demo will play the demo songs for the newly
selected category. Then the demo songs for another category will be
selected at random. See page 56 for the list of sound demo songs.
1.6 PLAYING THE PIANO
Turning on the power.
You will find the POWER SWITCH at the right end of the front panel.
Press this button to turn on the power. Pressing it again will turn off the
power.
Adjust the volume level.
The VOLUME SLIDER controls the volume level of the speakers and the
headphones. Use this slider to set the volume to a comfortable listening
level.
Quick Start
1.7 PEDALS
Sostenuto
Soft
Sustain
Now try playing the keyboard.
You will hear the CE200’s main piano sound.
The CE200 piano responds just like a real acoustic piano when you play
it. It produces a louder sound when you play hard and a softer sound
when you play soft. The volume level changes in relation to how fast the
keys are pressed. This system is called “touch sensitivity” on an
electronic musical instrument. The initial touch sensitivity setting has
been adjusted to the standard of an acoustic piano. You can however,
select a different type of touch sensitivity on the CE200 piano if you are
not comfortable with the standard setting. For more detail, please read
“5.1 Selecting the Touch Sensitivity (TOUCH Button)” on page 28.
The CE200 piano has three pedals—just like a grand piano. They are
Sustain, Soft and Sostenuto.
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling, which provides
even finer control of the dampering effect.
13QUICK START
Quick Start
1.8 PLAYING WITH MORE SOUNDS
You have already heard the CE200’s main piano sound. The CE200 has a
total of 20 sounds, not only different types of piano sounds but different
instruments as well.
The different instrument sounds built into CE200 piano are called “preset
sounds”.
All of the preset sounds have been created through advanced digital
sampling technology achieving as natural and realistic sound as possible.
Let’s try some of the preset sounds.
SELECTING ANOTHER PRESET SOUND
Press the SOUND SELECT button under the name of the
instrument you would like to listen to. When the button is pressed,
the LED indicator will be turned on to indicate that this sound is selected.
The SOUND SELECT buttons are assigned with two or three preset sounds
to select. To select the other sounds, press the button repeatedly.
Sound variation
number 1
When a SOUND SELECT button is pressed, the variation number is briefly
shown in the display. Pressing the same SOUND SELECT button again
will select the next variation sound assigned to the SOUND SELECT
button.

ABOUT POLYPHONY

SPLIT button.
The key you pressed becomes the lowermost note for the upper section.
2.4 FOUR HANDS MODE
It is possible to divide the keyboard into left and right sections at the
default split point, and to play both sections in the same key range using
the four hands mode. The key range is lowered by two octaves for the
right section, and raised by two octaves for the left section. When four
hands mode is active, the sustain pedal (right pedal) acts as the sustain
pedal for the right section, and the soft pedal (left pedal) acts as the sustain
pedal for the left section. When four hands mode is active the CE200
functions as two pianos, so you can enjoy duet performances or use one
CE200 piano for two students or a teacher and a student.
ENTERING FOUR HANDS MODE
Press the sustain pedal and the soft pedal while holding down the SPLIT
button. The SPLIT button LED indicator will start blinking and the piano

2.5 DUAL/SPLIT BALANCE SLIDER
You can adjust the volume balance between the two sounds in Dual or
Split mode. Use the Dual/Split Balance slider to adjust the balance.
Move the slider to the right to increase the volume of the rightmost sound
(in dual mode) or upper sound (in split mode) and decrease the volume
of the leftmost sound (in dual mode) or lower sound (in split mode). The
balance changes in the opposite way when the slider is moved to the left.
2.6 EFFECTS/REVERB
You might have noticed that when you select some of the preset sounds,
the LED indicator for the EFFECTS or the REVERB is turned on. The
reason for this is some of the preset sounds are set up with an effect on as
their initial setting.
Adding an effect to the sound enhances tonal quality and improves
acoustical realism. The CE200 piano is provided with two separate groups
of effects. The first is reverb and the second contains chorus, delay,
tremolo and rotary speaker.

REVERB
Reverb adds reverberation to the sound, simulating the acoustic
environment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall. There are five types
of reverb available. They are Room 1&2, Stage, and Hall 1&2. (listed in
order of reverberation amount).
CHORUS
Chorus is an effect that simulates the rich character of a vocal choir or
string ensemble, by layering a slightly detuned version of the sound over
the original to enrich it.
DELAY
Delay is an effect that adds echoes to the sound.
TREMOLO
This is a vibrato type effect.
ROTARY
This effect simulates the sound of the Rotary Speaker cabinet commonly
used with electronic organs. Rotary 1 is normal rotary and Rotary 2 is
with distortion effect.
The soft pedal is used to change the speed of the rotor between SLOW
and FAST.
