Stereo standard plug

Connect commercially available headphones to the
PHONES jack. Connecting headphones to the
PHONES jack cuts off output to the speakers, which
means you can practice even late at night without
bothering others. To protect your hearing, make sure
that you do not set the volume level too high when
using headphones.
NOTE
• Be sure to push the headphones plug into the PHONES
jack as far as it will go. If you don’t, you may hear sound
from only one side of the headphones.

Connecting Audio Equipment
or an Amplifier
You can connect audio equipment or a music amplifier
to the digital piano and then play through external
speakers for more powerful volume and better sound
quality.

Standard plug

Connecting Audio Equipment (Figure 1)
Use commercially available connecting cords
(Standard Plug × 1, Pin Plugs × 2) to connect as shown
in Figure 1. Make sure that the end of the cord that
you connect to the digital piano is a stereo standard
plug. A monaural standard plug will result in output of
only one of the two stereo channels. Normally, you
should set the input selector of the audio equipment to
the terminal where the digital piano is connected (AUX
IN, etc.) Adjust volume using the digital piano’s
VOLUME controller.

Connecting a Music Amplifier (Figure 2)
Connect the connecting cord* to one of the types of
amplifiers shown in Figure 2.
Adjust volume using the digital piano’s VOLUME
controller.
* Digital Piano: Stereo standard plug
Amplifier: Inputs signals for the left and right
channels. Not connecting either plug will
result in output of only one of the two
stereo channels.

Bundled and Optional
Accessories
Use only accessories that are specified for use with this
digital piano.
Use of unauthorized accessories creates the risk of fire,
electric shock, and personal injury.

Selecting and Playing a Tone
This digital piano has 11 built-in tones.
* You can select these tones using keyboard keys. The
name of the tones assigned to each keyboard key is
marked above the keys. For details about selecting
these tones, see “Selecting a Tone Using the
Keyboard Keys” on page E-7.

Press the POWER button to turn on the
digital piano.

IMPORTANT!
• When you turn on the piano, it performs a power up
operation in order to initialize its system. During system
initialization, the LR button lamps flash for about six
seconds to let you know that system initialization is in
progress.

Select the tone you want.
• Press one of the GRAND PIANO buttons to select
either a modern sound (MODERN) or a classic sound
(CLASSIC).

NOTE
• Grand Piano Tones (MODERN, CLASSIC)
Your digital piano has a total of 11 built-in tones. The
MODERN and CLASSIC tones are stereo sampled tones
that can be selected using the GRAND PIANO buttons.
Try using the GRAND PIANO tones to familiarize
yourself with their distinctive sounds and characteristics.
Tone Name

Characteristics

MODERN

This tone provides a bright and hard
grand piano sound. The volume and
timbre of this tone is quick to
respond to different keyboard
pressures, and it has relatively strong
reverb. This tone is a good choice for
dynamic and lively performances.

CLASSIC

This is a natural piano tone that
closely resembles the sound of an
acoustic grand piano. Though reverb
and other effects are kept to a
minimum, doing so enhances the
impact of operating the piano pedals
(acoustic resonance), for musically
delicate expressions. This tone is a
good choice for lesson and practice
sessions.

CAUTION
• The stand should be assembled by two people working
together.
• The stand should be assembled on a flat surface.
• Do not remove the tape securing the keyboard cover in
place until assembly is complete. Removing the tape can
cause the keyboard cover to open and close during
assembly, creating the risk of personal injury to your
hands and fingers.
• Take care that you do not pinch your fingers between
parts when assembling them.
• When placing the digital piano on the floor, be sure to
place it on something soft (a blanket, cushion, etc.). Do
not place the digital piano directly onto the floor.

Assembling the Stand

PREPARATION
• Before starting assembly of the stand, divide the
polystyrene foam packing material K into the sections as
shown in the illustration below. After dividing up the
material, you should end up with a total of six pieces
named K-(a), K-(b), and K-(c), which you will use while
assembling the stand.
• If you do not have any packing material available for
some reason, use a magazine or some other thick item.

Perform the following steps to attach side
panel A to the digital piano.

IMPORTANT!
• When inserting the corner of the side panel into the
bracket on the side of the digital piano in step (2-3)
below, take care to avoid damaging the side panel corner
(). Never try to insert the side panel into the bracket
without first tilting the side panel at an angle as instructed
in step (2-2). Doing so creates the risk of damage of the
side panel corner.
(2-1) On side panel A, locate the corner that has a metal
piece attached to it, and then insert that corner
into foam piece K-(b).
(2-2) Tilt side panel A slightly as indicated by the
arrow in the illustration.
(2-3) Keeping side panel A tilted at an angle, carefully
insert the opposite corner () into the bracket on
the side of the digital piano.

WARNING
• The corner brackets help to prevent the stand from
tipping over. Whenever the stand is in a location that is
not up against a wall, reorient the corner brackets as
shown in the illustration. Leaving the corner brackets in
their original orientations can make it easy for the stand
to tip over towards the back, creating the risk of personal
injury.

• The side panels have joint connectors inside that engage
with the corner bracket screws. If you have trouble
inserting the screws into the joint connector screw holes,
use a screwdriver to rotate the joint connector and adjust
the position of the screw hole for easier access. See the
detail drawing (marked with a star) in the above
illustration.

Assembling the Stand

To tighten the joint connector and screw
(1) Rotate the screw counterclockwise about three
turns to ensure that the screw is in the center of the
joint connector.
(2) Slowly rotate the screw clockwise and confirm that
it tightens without resistance. If you feel any
resistance, it means that the screw is not engaging
properly with the joint connector. Rotate the screw
counterclockwise again and try to get it to engage
properly.
(3) If you experience problems getting the screw to
engage properly, use a screwdriver to rotate the
joint connector 180 degrees. Next perform steps (1)
and (2) again to engage the screw from the screw
hole on the other side.

Locating the Stand against a Wall
• Perform steps 1 through 9 starting on page E-25.

10. Loosen the bracket screws at the bottom of
the stand’s side panels A and B to create a
gap between the side panels and corner
brackets as shown in the illustration.

Gap

* Forcibly tightening a screw while it is not engaged
properly can strip the threads of the screw and joint
connector, making it impossible to tighten the screw.

11. As shown in the illustration, insert the pedal
unit brackets into to the gaps you created in
step 10.

12. Securely tighten the screws G that you
temporarily tightened in step 9.
• Cover the screw heads with the caps J.

A tone’s quality and
volume sounds
slightly different
depending where it is
played on the
keyboard.

This is an unavoidable result of the digital sampling process,* and does not indicate malfunction.
* Multiple digital samples are taken for the low range, middle range, and high range of the original
musical instrument. Because of this, there may be a very slight difference in tonal quality and
volume between sample ranges.

When I press a
button, the note that
is sounding cuts out
momentarily or there
is a slight change in
how effects are
applied.

This happens when the sounds of multiple parts are sounding at the same time while using layer,
using the Duet Mode, playing back a built-in tune, recording, etc. Pressing a button when one of these
conditions exists will cause the effect setting that is built into the tone to change automatically, which
causes the notes to cut out momentarily or causes a slight change in how effects are being applied.
