2. Connecting the Power Supply
The FS750 can use either your home AC power outlet or dry cell batteries as
a power source.
Ш To insert batteries:
1. Turn the unit over and remove the battery cover.
2. Insert six Size C dry cell batteries. Be sure they are aligned in the
proper direction.
Replace the battery cover.
3.
q^ tbe batteries begin to run down, tbe volume of tbe FS750 will
decrease and tbe sound quality will begin to change or deteriorate. Tbe
unit may begin to malfunction. At tbat time, you sbould replace all six
of tbe batteries.
Do not mix battery types (or new batteries witb old ones), as tbis may
cause problems sucb as battery fluid leakage.
Remove tbe batteries when not using the FS750 for long periods of time.
B-1

Before Using the FS780
Ш To use an AC power outlet:
Connect a PS-102 (ог PS-101) adaptor (available separately) to the adaptor
terminal on the rear panel of the FS750. Then, connect the adaptor to a wall
socket.
D We recommend that you use a KAWAI AC adaptor (10 volt 1000 mA)
with the FS750. If you decide to use a universal adaptor (from another
manufacturer) be sure that the voltage selector on that adaptor is set 10
volt 1000 mA. The polarity selector must be set to "negative" (—) polari-
ty. If your universal adaptor is set on "positive (*)", your FS750 will not
operate (or will run on batteries until the batteries are drained),
E Connecting the FS750 to an audio device
To enjoy listening to the sound of your F$750 through your home stereo sys-
tem or other external audio device, purchase a standard connecting cord
(Stereo RCA pins) at an electrical goods shop or an audio specialty store.
Use it to connect the FS750's LINE OUT jacks to the LINE IN or AUX IN jacks
on your audio system.
E About the FS750's internal memory
The contents of the FS750's internal memory such as song data will be kept
stored by a battery built into the unit for a period of up to five years.
Note that if you turn the power switch ON while holding down keys C and E
at the left end of the keyboard, all of the contents of the memory will be
erased, and the keyboard's factory settings will be restored.
You cannot back up tbe internal memory once tbe battery built into tbe
FS750 is drained. So, we recommend that you save your important
data into an external sequencer (see "Using the MIDI Functions" sec-
tion). For a replacement battery, contact your authorized KAWAI deal-
er.
Ш Protective plastic covering on front panel
Your FS750 comes equipped with a thin plastic covering over the front
panel, designed to protect the panel from dust and scratches. If you want to
remove this covering, carefully use a fingernail to lift up one of the corners.
Then, slowly peel off the covering and discard it.

Basic Operation
E
Trouble
shooting
on
your
FS750
Problem
Check the following
No sound from your FS750.
1) Check your power adaptor. We recommend that you use a
KAWAI 9- or 12-volt adaptor.
2) If using another brand of adaptor:
— Does the voltage range from 9-12 volts?
— Isit set to negative C polarity?
— Is it rated above 1000 mA?
3) Have you tried six fresh batteries?
4) Are all the batteries aligned in the proper direction?
You notice that the front panel has a "cloudy"
finish or has begun to "bubble" or "peel". This
is not a defect.
There is a thin plastic film applied to the glossy panel (where
the
sounds
and
rhythms
are
printed)
for
protection
during
ship-
ping. You can remove this film at any time. Use a fingernail to
carefully lift up one of the edges, then peel off the protective
film.
You are using the numeric Selector buttons
to select a two-digit number, but a single-digit
number appears in the display.
You may be taking too long to enter the second digit. Once
you enter one digit, the FS750 waits for four seconds to see if a
second digit follows. If the second digit is not entered within
that time, the FS750 assumes that you meant to enter a single-
digit number.
Be sure to enter all two-digit numbers in rapid succession.
The rhythm will not start when you press the
yellow Start/Stop button.
The DUAL feature does not combine certain
sounds.
The RECORDER will not record.
Press the Tempo Up button to see if someone has inadvertent-
ly activated the TEMPO "SYNC." mode. The display will read
"5$" if this is the case. The Start/Stop button will not operate
in TEMPO "SYNC." mode. To escape SYNC mode, press the
Tempo Up button until "UP" appears in the display.
Are you trying to combine any of the SPLIT sounds? These can-
not be used with the DUAL feature, since they already contain
two sounds.
The recorder will not record when there is already a song in
memory. Use the ERASE procedure (press both the Rec/End
and Play/Stop buttons simultaneously) for that song to clear a
particular song. Then try recording again.
The keyboard only plays drum sounds.
The DRUM SET sound (*90) has probably been selected. Use
the Sound 1 and Selector buttons to select a different sound
(refer to the section of the manual which describes "Getting
Started Selecting Sounds").
The AUTO function is not working properly. | Check to see if someone has set your FS750 to operate in AUTO
2, AUTO 3, or AUTO 4 modes. All of these alternative modes
are different from the normal AUTO 1 style of accompaniment.
(Please refer to the "Advanced Use of Auto-Accompaniment"
section of this manual.)
The FS750 is not sending "automatic" note
information via MIDI.
See the MIDI section of this manual. The ACCOMPANIMENT
MIDI OUT function must be set to "on". Otherwise, the FS750
will only send "note" information (notes that are actually
played) via MIDI.

(2) Volume Control buttons
The master volume buttons control overall volume of all
notes played on the keyboard. Auto-Accompaniment vol-
ume can be adjusted separately using the Accomp. vol-
ume buttons found to the left of Master volume.
(3 Demo button
Pressing this button starts the built-in demo song con-
tained in the FS750's memory. Press it again at any time to
stop the demo song.
@ Display
The display window shows which sound or rhythm is cur-
rently selected. The window is also used to display a
wide variety of other information which will be described
later in this manual.
(5) Selector buttons
a) Numeric buttons (Ten keys)
Used to enter the number that appear in the LED dis-
play. To enter a number from 1 to 9, just press the
number you desire. The FS750 will wait for 4 seconds
to see if you're going to press another digit. After this
brief pause, the display will show the number you
selected (01 to 09). To enter a number from 1 to 9
without the 4 seconds pause, put a "zero" before the
number. For example, you would press "0" and "6" to
select sound number "6" immediately (with no pause).
To enter a two-digit number, enter the two digits in
rapid succession. For example, to enter sound number
25, press 2 followed quickly by 5. If you wait more
than 4 seconds to enter the second digit, the FS750 will
think you meant to enter a one-digit number. Referring
again to the "25" example, if you wait too long to enter
the second digit "5", the FS750 will think you meant to
enter a "2" and then changed your mind to enter "5",
The display will end up showing "5" instead of "25".
BE SURE TO ENTER TWO-DIGIT NUMBERS IN RAPID
ORDER.

stored in the FS750's memory.
Rhythm Control button
The FS750's Rhythm and Auto-Accompaniment sec-
tion gives you four types of patterns to work with:
Intro Patterns that can be used at the start of a song;
Fill-in Patterns, to add contrast and variety during a
song; Ending Patterns; and Basic Patterns which will
be the foundation of any song using Auto-
Accompaniment. These four types of patterns are
controlled using these buttons. Lastly, the Sync./Fill
In button lets you start when you press a key in the
Lower Keyboard.
@ Tempo buttons
The tempo buttons can be used to control changes in
Rhythm and Auto-Accompaniment tempo.

(9 MIDI IN/OUT jacks
These jacks are used to connect the FS750 to other
MIDI instruments and equipment.
PEDAL 1 (DAMPER Pedal) jack
This jack allows you to connect an optional
footswitch (model F-1, available separately) to the
Е5750. When the footswitch is depressed, notes
played on the keyboard will play continuously for as
long as the footswitch is held down. It operates like
a sustain pedal on a piano. (This pedal has no effect
on Rhythm and Auto-Accompaniment performance.)
The jack can also be programmed to let an optional
footswitch (model F-1, available separately) function
in different styles. Refer to the "Using the SYSTEM
Functions" for details.
@ PEDAL 2 (Accompaniment Hold) jack
The jack allows you to use the optional F-1
footswitch in a different way from above. When con-
nected to the Accompaniment Hold jack, the F-1
footswitch can be depressed to add variety to
Rhythm and Auto-Accompaniments. The jack can
also be programmed to let an optional footswitch
(model F-1, available separately) function in different
styles. Refer to the "Using the SYSTEM Functions" for
details.
Output jacks
These jacks are used to send the FS750's sound
through external speakers or a home stereo system.
Stereo phones jack
When stereo phones are connected to this jack, the
sound from the speakers is cut off. This allows you
to play the FS750 at night and at other times when
you might be concerned about disturbing others.
Q9 DC IN jack
This jack is used when connecting a Power Adaptor
(model PS-101 or PS-102 available separately).
See page B-2 for special instructions if you are
using a universal AC adaptor or other brand of
adaptor.
B Keys
@) Lower Keyboard (C1 ~ F#2)
Used as a specific set of keys when the AUTO (chord
detection) or Hand Percussion functions are selected.
@ ONE FINGER AD-LIB keys (G2 ~ B3)
Used to play One Finger Ad-Lib phrases when the
ONE FINGER AD-LIB function is selected.
@ User Program keys (F#5 ~ C6)
Used for programming Synthesizer sounds, Auto-
Accompaniments (with Pattern Maker), and ONE
FINGER AD-LIB phrases.
D Of course, the keys in the special keyboard sections
named above also function as a normal keyboard
when all automatic settings are off.
Throughout this manual, the keys on the FS750 will
be referred to in the following manner:
C1 stands for "the first C" on the keyboard, count-
ing from the left.
B2 stands for "the second B" on the keyboard from
the left.
The total range of the FS750 is C1 to C6.

on any portable keyboard. It has the capability of working in four different
"modes". In this Basic Operation section of the manual, however, we will
