avoid touching any internal metal parts. To avoid electric
shock, short circuit or damage, also be careful that there
is no dust between the AC adaptor and plug.
Using Batteries
This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline (LR6)/
Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable nickelmetal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries are recommended for this instrument, since
other types may result in poorer battery performance.
• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be
used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument.
1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off.
2 Open the battery compartment cover located on
the instrument’s bottom panel.
3 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.
• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet
you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn the power off and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
• Follow the order shown above in reverse when disconnecting
the AC adaptor.

use the [MASTER VOLUME] dial while playing the
keyboard.
• Do not use the instrument for a long period of time at a
high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss.
Connecting Headphones or
External Speaker
Connect a pair of headphones to the [PHONES/

amplifier, recorder, or other audio device, you can
output the audio signal of this instrument to that
external device. The speakers of this instrument are
automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into
this jack.
Using a Pedal (Sustain)
You can produce a natural sustain as you play by
pressing a footswitch (FC5 or FC4A; sold separately)
plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack.
• Plug or unplug the footswitch while the power is off. Also, do
not press the footswitch when turning the power on. Doing so
changes the polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed
operation.
• The sustain function does not affect split voices (page 17) and
style (automatic accompaniment; page 22).
Using the music rest
Insert the music rest into the slots as shown.
• Do not use the instrument or headphones for a long period
of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this
can cause permanent hearing loss.
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components. Also,
before turning any components on or off, make sure to set
all volume levels to minimum. Otherwise, damage to the
components or electrical shock may occur.
• To avoid possible damage to the external device, first turn
on the power to the instrument, then to the external
device. When turning off the power, do so in reverse order:
first turn off the power to the external device, then to the
instrument.

keyboard are both set to the same Voice (Main Voice).
• In the Duo mode, the Split Point cannot be changed from
F
#

One person should play the left Voice
section of the keyboard while the other
plays the right Voice section.
Selecting a Voice
Select a Voice by executing Steps 1 and 2 in
“Selecting a Main Voice” on page 16.
• When a Dual Voice is selected from Voice numbers 162 to
188, the left Voice section sounds only the Main Voice.
• Certain functions such as Lesson, Harmony/Arpeggio
and Dual cannot be used in the Duo mode.
How sounds are output in the Duo mode
Notes played in the left Voice section sound from
the left side speaker while notes played in the
right Voice section sound from the right side
speaker, in the initial Duo mode setting. This output setting can be changed from the “VoiceOut”
setting (Function 027; page 46).
• In the Duo mode, the pan, volume and tonal characteristics of the stereo sound may differ from those in the normal mode, due to the setting of VoiceOut = “Separate”
(page 46). Particularly with Drum Kits, the difference may
be more obvious, since each key of a Drum Kit features a
different stereo pan position.
Using sustain in the Duo mode
Sustain can be applied to the left and right Voice
sections in Duo mode just as it normally is by
using one of the following methods in the Duo
mode like the usual mode.
• Press the foot switch (page 14) connected to
the [SUSTAIN] jack.
• Set “Sustain” (Function 024; page 46) to on.
Sustain is applied to all notes.
• Sustain cannot be applied independently to the left Voice
section and the right Voice section.
• While Panel Sustain is on, the setting of hold is main-
tained even when the power is turned off.
Style Playback in the Duo mode
Although full Style features (accompaniment)
cannot be used in the Duo mode, the rhythm part
of a Style can be played back while playing the
left/right Voices normally.
Recording in the Duo mode
The right Voice section and the left Voice section
are recorded on the same track.
To exit from the Duo mode, press the
