2.

Connecting

the

Power

Supply

Your

can

use

either

your

home

AC

power

outlet

or

dry

cell

batteries

as

a

power

source.

@

To

insert

ms

As

the

batteries

begin

to

run

down,

the

volume

of

the

keyboard

will

decrease

and

the

sound

x

quality

will

begin

to

change

or

deteriorate.

The

unit

may

begin

to

malfunction.

Aft

that

time,

you

should

replace

all

six

batteries.

Do

time.

M@

To

Use

An

AC

Power

Outlet:

Connect

a

PS-102

or

PS-101

adaptor

(available

separately)

to

the

adaptor

terminal

on

the

rear

panel

of

the

keyboard.

Then,

connect

the

adaptor

to

a

wall

socket.

We

recommend

that

you

use

a

KAWAI

AC

adaptor

(10-volt/1

Amp)

with

the

X65-D.

If

you

decide

to

use

a

universal

adaptor

from

another

manufacturer,

please

be

sure

of

the

following:

(1)

The

voltage

selector

should

be

set

at

10

volts.

(2)

The

polarity

selector

must

be

set

to

“negative”

(—}

polarity,

otherwise

the

keyboard

will

not

operate

for

will

run

on

batteries

until

the

batteries

are

drained).

(3)

The

adaptor

must

be

rated

at

1

Amp

(A).

Where

to

Place

Your

X65-D

Keyboard

for

Optimum

Sound

Quality

|

The

X65-D’s

SUPER

3D

Sound

System

consists

of

four

multi-directional

speakers.

The

two

larger

speakers

are

“ported”

on

the

underside

to

project

sound

both

downward

and

forward

from

the

keyboard

housing.

TO

MAXI-

MIZE

THE

SUPER

3D

EFFECT

AND

ACHIEVE

OPTIMUM

OVERALL

Larger

Speakers

PLACE

YOUR

X65-D

ON

A

KEYBOARD

STAND

WHICH

DOES

NOT

BLOCK

THESE

UNDERSIDE

PORTS.

@

Connecting

the

Keyboard

to

an

Audio

Device

Your

keyboard

utilizes

a

carefully-crafted

case,

four

multi-directional

speakers

and

additional

sound

processing

to

create

a

richer,

fuller

sound

than

is

possible

with

traditional

stereo

speakers.

To

enjoy

listening

to

the

sound

of

your

X65-D

through

your

amplified

home

stereo

system

or

other

external

amplifier,

purchase

an

adaptor

plug

at

an

electrical

goods

store

or

audio

specialty

shop.

For

normal

stereo

listening,

use

a

set

of

cords

to

connect

the

keyboard’s

STEREO

PHONES

jack

to

the

LINE

IN

or

AUX

IN

jacks

on

your

stereo

amplifier

or

powered

receiver.

To

create

the

full

“SUPER

3D”

sound

effect,

use

one

set

of

cords

(with

stereo

RCA

pins)

to

connect

the

keyboard’s

OUTPUT

1

jacks

to

the

LINE

IN

or

AUX

IN

jacks

on

your

stereo

amplifier

or

powered

receiver

and

use

another

set

of

cords

to

connect

the

keyboard’s

OUTPUT

2

jacks

to

the

LINE

IN

or

AUX

IN

jacks

on

a

separate

amplifier

or

other

stereo

audio

device.

We

suggest

you

to

connect

the

larger

speakers

to

the

keyboard’s

OUTPUT

1

jacks

and

connect

smaller

speakers

to

the

keyboard’s

OUTPUT

2

jacks.

Then,

arrange

the

four

speakers

as

shown

in

the

illustration

at

left.

This

arrangement

will

help

you

experience

the

“Super

3D”

effect

more

fully.

M

About

the

Keyboard’s

Internal

Memory

The

contents

of

the

keyboard’s

internal

memory

(such

as

recorder

data)

will

be

kept

stored

for

up

to

five

years

by

a

back-up

battery

built

into

the

unit.

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.

This

is

known

as

the

“factory

reset’

procedure.

Protective

Plastic

Covering

On

Panel

Your

keyboard

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.
