Getting Started

STEP 3:

Place main piano unit facing forward . First set
pedal support rods into the rear of the pedal box,
then line up the other end of the rod to the support
rod holes on the underside of the main cabinet. Use
the 8 screws provided to secure the rods.

STEP 4:

Move the piano into an upright position.

Using 3 people, one near each leg, lift the piano
body straight upward with legs parallel to the oor.
Then tilt backward until all 3 legs are vertical. Fi-

nally, lower the body until the legs touch the oor.

To avoid possible damage, don’t let the weight of
the body rest on the legs until they are vertical.

CAUTION: THE PIANO CABINET WILL NOT SAFELY SIT UNSUPPORTED ON THE LEGS
UNTIL ALL OF THE BOLTS ARE IN PLACE. HAVE AN ASSISTANT HOLD THE CABINET
WHILE THE BOLTS ARE BEING SECURED.

RAISING THE PIANO LID:

The CGP220 has lid support rods allowing two (optional) open positions: low and high. Raise the lid, then lift the support
rod, holding the lid with your hand while seating the rod in the desired hole on its underside. The long rod will t in the in­ner hole (for high position, shown in Fig. 1 below) and the short rod into the outer hole (for the low position, shown in Fig.

2). Be sure you have seated the rod correctly, so that the lid will remain safely supported when open.

STEP 1:

A) Place piano cabinet and legs on a carpeted oor
or blanket. Tilt the cabinet so that the underside is
accessible.

B) Align each of the 3 legs to the foot holes, as shown,
using the hexagon wrench provided to secure each
leg with 4 bolts. Be sure to tighten all screws.

STEP 2:

Align the pedal box with the pedal box assembly
holes, as shown, and secure with 2 bolts, using the

hexagon wrench to rmly tighten them.

In addition to the main piano cabinet, your CGP220 should come with the parts shown below. Three people will be need

to complete the assembly, as the piano cabinet must rst rest on the oor with support. Then the entire instrument must

be lifted once the legs are securely attached.

Connect the power cord to the AC receptacle on the underside of the
Andante CGP220. Standard AC current supplies the Andante CGP220’s
power. Before connecting the Andante CGP220’s AC power cord, make
sure that the power switch (located on the left, underneath the keyboard)
is in the OFF position. Then connect the power cord to an AC outlet.

Turn power on by using the switch is located underneath the left of the
keyboard.

While the unit is performing its power-up routine some of the front panel button LEDs will ash. After a couple of
seconds, the display will read 1 Concert Piano. The Andante CGP220 is now ready to play.

Use the Quick Start instructions on the following pages for the basic steps to change Voices, play Rhythm Patterns,
and play one of the 51 Demo Songs.

Sound and Volume

Before turning on the Andante CGP220, it’s always a good idea to set the volume
at its minimum setting (all the way to the left). For a generally comfortable level of
volume while playing, set the knob at its middle position.

The Volume Control is located on the left side of the control panel. Turn this knob
from left to right to increase the volume.

Headphone Jacks

The Andante CGP220 has two 1/4” headphone jacks conveniently located under the
keyboard, near the left leg on the cabinet underside. Plugging in headphones provides
privacy during practice. Both jacks operate the same so two people can play and hear
the music together. When headphones are connected the Andante CGP220’s speakers
are silent.

The AC plug shape will vary

depending on location of use

CAUTION: The CGP220 runs on AC power and works with voltages from 100 - 240 volts at

50–60 Hz. The voltage level is detected and set automatically by the CGP220.

Do not attempt to connect to a non-standard AC power source.

Overview

Front Panel Display, Buttons and Controls

The features labelled on the Andante CGP220’s front panel below are discussed in detail in the following chapters.
Throughout this manual button names are shown in Bold Type, and display screen text in Italic Type.

Display Screen

Display

The alphanumeric LCD screen displays 16 characters, indicating the current instrument mode or
parameter settings.

LCD Contrast control

To the left of the Kurzweil logo is a potentiometer that controls the LCD display contrast. Turning this
small knob allows you to adjust the display visibility for different lighting environments.

Mode Select Buttons

Voice Button

Press this button to enter Voice Mode.

Rhythm Button

Press this button to enter Rhythm Mode.

Piano Button

No matter which mode is active, you may select this button to immediately return to the Concert Piano

voice (the rst voice of the Piano category).

Overview

Input/Output Panel

The Input/Output panel is located on the underside of the piano body, behind the power switch and headphone jacks.

Audio In and Audio Out

Audio Out (RCA jacks) may be used to connect the Andante CGP220 to external audio equipment, such as an
outboard mixer, powered speakers, or recording device.

Audio In jacks are used to connect the Andante CGP220’s internal speakers to other devices such as
a digital audio player or CD player. Always turn off the Andante CGP220’s power before plugging or
unplugging cables into the Audio In jacks.

The Andante CGP220’s Volume and Tone Controls do not affect the volume or tone of the sound coming
from the Audio In jacks. Therefore it is best to use a device that has its own output level control and to
use that to adjust the sound volume from the external device.

MIDI In, Out and Thru

Use the MIDI In, Out and Thru ports to connect the Andante CGP220 to other MIDI devices to receive and
send MIDI data.

CC Pedal (Volume/Expression Pedal)

This jack is used to connect a continuous controller pedal for volume and expression control. Our keyboards
require a pedal with a TRS 1/4” connector and 10k linear potentiometer. Most manufacturers EXCEPT

Yamaha and Korg make pedals with the same specications and should work. Yamaha and Korg pedals

typically use an exponential potentiometer and therefore will not work correctly. The CC-1 pedal is available
from Kurzweil. You can order a pedal through your local Kurzweil dealer.

USB

Connect a USB cable to this port to send and receive MIDI or to connect to a computer for system
updates.
