How to care for your Kawai Organ
‘Here are some general rules to follow.
1)
- 9)
3)
4)
Always plug your KAWAI into a standard voltage AC line for
your area. Plugging into a DC outlet will cause damage.
To remove any greasiness from the cabinetry, keys, or pedals,
.use a damp cloth and a little mild soap. Be sure to wipe dry with
a soft cloth.
Do not expose your KAWAI to direct sunlight, cold drafts or
radiator heat.
The battery protecting the sequencer/registration memory con-
tents should last for five years. When it is exhausted, the WRITE
switch will flash three times. Battery must be replaced only by a
qualified service personnel.
This organ is not designed for commercial use but for household
use only.

1.2 Getting Ready to Play
(1) Turn power on.
[|
(2) Set the Total Volume control at mid range
volume.
Note:
Volume is fixed at the level of button depressed at
random. If any two neighboring buttons are depressed
simultaneously, the volume will be fixed at the middle
of the two levels. This applies to other volume controls
as well,

TOTAL VOLUME
(3) Step on the expression pedal half way.
This pedal too controls the total output volume
of the organ. Use this pedal during playing to
give softer or louder expression to your music
performance.

PEDAL LOWER
Sometimes a particular piece requires several
changes of tone and volume during the course of a
performance. Frequently, these changes come in
groups of three or more. The KEYBOARD CON-
DUCTOR section provides, in one handy location,
the controls necessary to make these changes with
the minimum of fuss.
Similarly, there is a choice of four for the UPPER
keyboard, four for the LOWER keyboard, and two
for the PEDAL keyboards. In all cases, pressing a
single switch is all that is required to change the
registration for a keyboard.
® Procedure
(1) Press the appropriate switch in the KEY-
BOARD CONDUCTOR section.

PERCUS

(2) To change from TIBIA/PERCUS to PRESET
INSTRUMENT, for example, simply press the
PRESET INSTRUMENT switch. The organ
then automatically changes to the registra-
tion (tone, volume, and effects) specified in
the PRESET INSTRUMENT (UPPER/LOWER)
control block.
It is also possible to mix two registrations by
holding down the switch for the current one
and pressing a second switch. The excep-
tions are the PRESET INSTRUMENT and the
SYNTHESIZER registrations. The preset in-
strument control blocks and the synthesizer
control blocks can only the used for one
keyboard at a time.

Note:
The SR Series stores registration and other settings in
non-volatile memory. This has its own battery power
supply that keeps them from disappearing when you
turn off the organ. The same RHYTHM, KEYBOARD
CONDUCTOR, individual tone, and other setting (ex-
cept program registration, PROGRAM SEQUENCER
and INTRO/ENDING) are therefore always available
when you next turn on the organ. However, the organ
tuning automatically returns to O (see page 42), and
the clock to internal.
