Installing Batteries
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the keyboard with
batteries for a week or more, remove the
batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that
can destroy electronic parts.
Using AC Power
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 9V DC and
delivers at least 800 mA. Its
!
center tip must be set to negative and its
plug must fit the keyboard's DC 9V jack.
Using an adapter that does not meet these
specifications could damage the keyboard
or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the
keyboard before you connect it to AC
power. When you finish, disconnect the
adapter from AC power before you
disconnect it from the keyboard.

Basic Operation
• The keyboard automatically selects the
tone GRAND PIANO (No. 00) when you
turn th e power on. To sele ct a different
tone, see “Selecting/Playing a Preset
Tone”.
• To select an auto-rhythm, see “Percussion
Sounds” on Page 6.
• To play auto accompaniment, see “Using
Auto Accompaniment” on Page 6.
• The keyboard’s volume ranges from 0 (no
sound) to 9 (maximum). Each time you turn
on the keyboard, the volume is set to 7.
• To quickly change the volume setting, hold
down VOLUME
¼¼¼¼
or
¹¹¹¹
.
• To quickly return to the default volume
setting of 7, press VOLUME
¼¼¼¼
and
¹¹¹¹
at
the same time.
• The volume level differs depending on the
tone, accompaniment, or song you
selected.
Playing the Prerecorded Tunes
• To practice or play along with the
prerecorded tunes, see “Using Lesson
Mode” on Page 8.
• Precede a single-digit number with a 0. For
example, to select 07 (“I Just Called To Say
I Love You”), press 0 7.
• You cannot use the preset auto-rhythms
while a prerecorded tune is playing. To play
a rhythm, press SONG to exit the song
mode first.
Using the Preset Tones
• The keyboard has 12-note (maximum)
polyphonic sound. This means that you can
play up to 12 different notes at the same
time with most of the keyboard’s preset
tones. Some tones are only capable of 6note polyphony.
• Most tones on this keyboard have been
recorded and processed using a technique
called
digital sampling
. To ensure a high
level of tonal quality, samples are taken in
the low, mid, and high ranges and are then
combined to sound amazingly close to the
originals. You might notice very slight
differences in volume or sound quality for
some tones when you play them at different
positions on the keyboard. This is an
unavoidable result of multiple sampling and
is not a malfunction.
• Some sound effect tones, such as
PERCUSSION (No. 99), do not follow the
musical scale when played, but change
effect as you play them in different octaves
on the keyboard.
Selecting/Playing a Preset Tone
• Each time you turn the keyboard on, it
automatically selects the tone GRAND
PIANO (No. 00).
• Precede a single-digit number with a 0. For
example, to select ELEC PIANO 1 (No. 04),
press 0 4.
• If you enter an incorrect first digit, press
TONE to clear your entry, then enter the
correct digit.

Changing the Tone of a
Prerecorded Tune
• You cannot change the tone of the twohand tunes (number 85 through 99).
• Selecting another tune switches the tone to
the default tone of the newly selected tune.
• When you change the tone for the prerecorded tunes, the newly selected tone stays in
effect even after you switch to normal mode.
Changing Keys
• You cannot change the key while a
prerecorded tune is selected or playing.
• The number on the display is the number of
semitones
to which the keyboard is set,
compared to its default key. A semitone is a
measurement that represents the
acoustical interval between the tones of any
two keys on the keyboard. For example, the
difference between C and C or B and B
is one semitone. You can transpose the key
down 6 semitones (to an F ) and up 5
semitones (to an F) — a full octave.
• You can also use the number keypad to
quickly raise the key. Simply press the
semitone change value (1 to 5).
• The keyboard automatically resets the key
to the default value of 0 (middle C) each
time you play a prerecorded tune (by
pressing DEMO or SONG).
• Each preset tone plays within a specified
range. If a key change causes a note to
exceed its range, the same note sounds in
the nearest octave.
• When you select pres et tone s 75 thr oug h 79
and 90 through 96 after changing the key,
the keyboard split point changes accordingly (see “Keyboard Split Tones” on Page 5).
• Changing the key does not affect the
PERCUSSION (No. 99) preset tone or
auto-accompaniment rhythm.
Tuning the Keyboard
• You cannot tune the keyboard while a
prerecorded tune is displayed or playing.
• The number on the display is the number of
cents
to which the keyboard is currently
tuned, compared to its default pitch. A cent
is the measurement representing the
acoustical interval between two tones. 1200
cents equal 1 octave. You can tune the
keyboard to within 50 cents (101 levels) of
its default pitch.
• You can use the number keypad to raise
the pitch by entering the cent change value.
• The keyboard automatically resets the
tuning pitch to the default value of 00
(cents) each time you turn off the keyboard
or play the prerecorded tunes (by pressing
DEMO or SONG).
