tone other than BASS 1 or BASS 2.

•You cannot select BASS 1 or BASS 2 when recording

to Track 2.

Tone Name Characteristics

CONCERT This is a full concert grand piano tone

that uses Linear Morphing* for

dynamic and natural tone changes.

This tone is designed to reproduce

damper, resonance, and other piano

nuances, which makes it ideal for

virtually any type of piano

performance.

MODERN This tone provides a bright 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

piano. Though reverb and other flashy

effects are subdued for this tone,

resonance is more pronounced, which

enables expression of delicate nuances.

This tone is a good choice for lesson

and practice sessions.

MELLOW Warm and mellow piano tone

BRIGHT Bright and clear piano tone

Your Digital Piano runs on standard household power.

Be sure to turn off power whenever you are not using

the Digital Piano.

Using an AC Adaptor

Use only the AC adaptor (JEITA Standard, with unified

polarity plug) that comes with this Digital Piano. Use

of a different type of AC adaptor can cause

malfunction of the Digital Piano.

Specified AC Adaptor: AD-E24250LW

•Use the supplied power cord to connect the AC

adaptor.

■About the AC adaptor that comes with the

Digital Piano

Note the following important precautions to avoid

damage to the AC adaptor and power cord.

•Never pull on the cord with excessive force.

•Never repeatedly pull on the cord.

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

connector.

•Before moving the Digital Piano, be sure to unplug

the AC adaptor from the power outlet.

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

around the AC adaptor.

IMPORTANT!

• Never connect the AC adaptor that comes with this

Digital Piano to any other device besides this Digital

Piano. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

• Make sure the Digital Piano is turned off before

plugging in or unplugging the AC adaptor.

• The AC adaptor will become warm to the touch after

very long use. This is normal and does not indicate

malfunction.

• Use the AC adaptor so its label surface is pointed

downwards. The AC adaptor becomes prone to

emitting electromagnetic waves when the label

surface is facing upwards.

Connect commercially available headphones to the

PHONES jacks. Connecting headphones to either of

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 jacks as far as it will go. If you don’t, you

may hear sound from only one side of the

headphones.

•If the plug of the headphones you are using does not

match the PHONES jacks, use the applicable

commercially available adaptor plug.

•If you are using headphones that require an adaptor

plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor

plugged in when you unplug the headphones. If you

do, nothing will sound from the speakers when you

play.

Getting Ready

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.

IMPORTANT!

• The Digital Piano automatically adjusts sound output

to optimize for headphone output (when headphones

are connected) or built-in speaker output (when

headphones are not connected). This also will cause

a change in the output quality from the Digital

Piano’s LINE OUT R and L/MONO jacks.

• Whenever connecting a device 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.

• Whenever you connect any device to the Digital

Piano, be sure to read the user documentation that

comes with the device.

Connecting to Audio Equipment 1

Use commercially available cables to connect the

external audio equipment to the Digital Piano’s LINE

OUT jacks as shown in Figure 1. LINE OUT R jack

output is right channel sound, while LINE OUT L/

MONO jack output is left channel sound. It is up to

you to purchase connecting cables like the ones shown

in the illustration for connection of audio equipment.

Normally in this configuration you must set the audio

equipment’s input selector to the setting that specifies

the terminal (such as AUX IN) to which the piano is

connected. Use the Digital Piano’s VOLUME controller

to adjust the volume level.

Connecting to a Musical Instrument

Amplifier 2

Use commercially available cables to connect the

amplifier to the Digital Piano’s LINE OUT jacks as

shown in Figure 2. LINE OUT R jack output is right

channel sound, while LINE OUT L/MONO jack

output is left channel sound. Connecting to the LINE

OUT L/MONO jack only outputs a mixture of both

channels. It is up to you to purchase connecting cable

like the one shown in the illustration for connection of

the amplifier. Use the Digital Piano’s VOLUME

controller to adjust the volume level.

IMPORTANT!

• When using the LINE OUT jacks, also connect

headphones to the PHONES jack. This will switch

the LINE OUT output to appropriate sound quality.

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.

music software on your computer.

I cannot store data to a USB

flash drive or load data from a

USB flash drive.

– See “Error Indicators”. ) E-33

It takes a long time before I

can use the Digital Piano after

I turn it on.

Digital Piano memory data was

corrupted because a data transfer

operation with a computer was in

progress the last time you turned off

the Digital Piano. When this happens,

the Digital Piano performs a memory

format operation the next time you turn

it on. You cannot perform any other

operation while a format operation is in

progress.

It takes about 20 seconds after you turn on

power to perform the memory format operation.

Wait until the format operation is complete. Note

that you should take care to avoid turning off the

Digital Piano while a data transfer operation with

a computer is in progress.

) E-36

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 very slight differences 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 notes to cut out momentarily or causes a slight change in how effects are being

applied.
