Service and Modication
This product should be serviced by
qualied service personnel when:

been damaged.
● Liquid has been spattered into the unit
or the unit has been exposed to rain.
● The instrument does not appear to
operate normally or exhibits a marked
change in performance.
● The instrument has been dropped or
the cabinet has been damaged.
Handling and Transport
● Never apply excessive force to the
controls, connectors or other parts of
the instrument.
● Always unplug cables by gripping the
plug 󰘰rmly, not by pulling on the cable.
● Disconnect all cables before moving
the instrument.
● Physical shocks caused by dropping,
bumping, or placing heavy objects on
the instrument can result in scratches
and/or more serious damage.
● Carefully check the ampli󰘰er volume
control before playing. Excessive
volume can cause permanent hearing
loss.
Cleaning
● Clean the cabinet and panel with a soft,
dry cloth. A wax based polish may be
used on the cabinet, although rubbing
with a soft cloth will usually su󰘲ce. Do
not use paint thinner or petrochemical
based polishes.
● To maintain the luster of the keys and
buttons, wipe with a clean, lightly dam-
pened cloth and then polish with a soft,
dry cloth.
Location
● To avoid deformation, discoloration, or
more serious damage, do not expose
the instrument to the following conditi-
ons: Direct sunlight, high temperatures,
excessive humidity, excessive dust,
strong vibration.
● Leave enough space around the piano
for proper ventilation.
● This instrument contains digital circuitry
and may cause interference if placed
too close to radio or television recei-
vers. If interference occurs, move the
instrument further away from the a󰘯ec-
ted equipment.
● Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of
the instrument; vinyl can stick to and
discolor the surface.
Power
● Turn the power switch o󰘯 when the
instrument is not in use.
● To avoid damage to the instrument and
other devices to which it is connected,
turn the power switches of all related
devices o󰘯 prior to connecting or dis-
connecting MIDI cables.
● Turn the power o󰘯 if the main cable is
damaged, or if the instrument is spat-
tered with liquid.
● Do not switch the unit on and o󰘯 in
quick succession as this places an un-
due load on the electronic components.
● Unplug the AC power cord during an
electrical storm.
● Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the
same AC outlet as appliances with high
power consumption,
such as electric heaters or ovens.

Auto-Accompaniment Split Point
For auto-accompaniment, the keyboard
is divided into two sections at the “Auto
A.Split” point. The keys to the left of this
point are dened as the accompani-
ment section of the keyboard. The de-
The Symphony has three auto-accom-
paniment chord ngering modes. Press
the ACCOMP button until the indicator
light for the desired Fingering mode is
selected.
When all three accompaniment mode
indicators are off, the auto-accompani-
ment function is disengaged and
only the Drum part of the rhythm styles
will play.
SINGLE MODE
Single mode makes it easy to produce
four types of orchestrated accompani-
ment chords using a minimum number
of ngers (one, two, or three ngers at
the most). In this mode, playing keys
in the accompaniment section of the
keyboard can generate:
Major Chord: Press any key in the
auto-accompaniment section of the
keyboard. The key you press determi-
nes the root note of the major chord.

any black key to its left simultaneously.
Seventh Chord: Press the root key
and any white key to its left simultane-
ously.
Minor-Seventh Chord: Press the root
key and any pair of black and white
keys to its left simultaneously.

split point for the auto-accompaniment

manual for more information.
FINGERED MODE
The ngered mode is ideal if you
already know how to play chords on
the keyboard. It allows you to play the
chords in the auto-accompaniment
section of the keyboard to produce the
selected auto-accompaniment pattern.
The Fingering Guide table at the back
of this manual lists all of the 31 recogni-
zable chords of this mode.
NOTE: If a chord played cannot be recogni-
zed, the previous chord will keep playing.
