• Never repeatedly pull on the cord.

• Never twist the cord at the base of the plug or

connector.

• The power cord should not be stretched tight while

it is in use.

During Movement

• Before moving the digital piano, be sure to unplug

the AC adaptor from the power outlet.

During Storage

• Loop and bundle the power cord, but never wind it

around the AC adaptor.

Connections

IMPORTANT!

• Whenever connecting something to the digital piano, first

use the VOLUME controller to set the volume to a low

level. After connecting, you can adjust the volume to the

level you want.

Bottom

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.

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.

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.

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.

Playing with Different Tones

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).

• A lamp will light above the currently selected button.

• See “Selecting a Tone Using the Keyboard Keys” on

page E-7 for information about selected other tones.

Use the VOLUME controller to adjust the

volume level.

Try playing something on the digital piano.

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.

Selecting and Playing a Tone

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.

What is MIDI?

MIDI is a standard for digital signals and connectors

that allows musical instruments, computers, and other

devices, regardless of manufacturer, to exchange data

with each other.

NOTE

•For details about MIDI implementation, visit:

http://world.casio.com/

MIDI Connections

Connecting your computer or other external MIDI

device to the digital piano’s MIDI OUT/IN terminals

makes it possible for them to exchange MIDI messages

and record and playback keyboard notes on the

connected device.

MIDI Settings

You can use the procedure in “Configuring Settings

with the Keyboard” (page E-18) to configure MIDI

settings. See page E-22 for a description of the settings

Assembling the Stand

PREPARATION

•Before starting assembly, check to make sure that you

have all the parts shown below. You can find the screws

in a plastic bag inside of the polystyrene foam packing

material.

•This stand does not include any of the tools required for

assembly. It is up to you to prepare a large Philips head

(+) screwdriver for assembly.

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.

NOTE

•When attaching the digital piano and the speaker box C

to side panels A and B, lay the entire assembly on its

side.

•Be sure to follow the proper procedure when assembling

the stand.

Assembling the Stand

E-25

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.

Place the digital piano onto the two K-(a)

foam pieces.

*Make sure that the edges of the brackets on either

side of the digital piano are positioned at the top of

the foam pieces.

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.

Keeping side panel A tilted at an angle, align

the side panel with side of the digital piano.

(3-1) Push side panel A in the direction indicated by

the black arrow in the illustration to align the side

panel so there is as little space as possible between

its top edge A and the bottom of the top panel of

the digital piano ().

(3-2) After alignment is complete, stand side panel A

straight up so it is firmly against the side of the

digital piano.

IMPORTANT!

• When performing step (3-1) above, make sure that you

position side panel A so its top edge reaches the bottom

of the digital piano top panel. If it does not, you will not be

able to stand side panel A straight up in step (3-2).

screw holes of the side panels as you install the

screws D.

•Partially tighten the screws on one side of the speaker

box C and then fully tighten the screws on the other

side.

•Next, fully tighten the screws that you partially

tightened.

•You can also install the speaker box C so it faces

towards the back of the stand.

After ensuring that all of the screws are fully

tightened, remove the packing material and

stand up the stand.

•After standing up the stand, cover each of the eight

screws you have installed up to this point with screw

caps E.

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.

*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.

•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

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.
