Basic Operation
Adjusting Volume & Starting to Play
The speaker system in your piano is very powerful and can be overpowering
in some rooms. Adjust the [VOLUME] control to a 12 o'clock position as a safe
starting point. You can adjust the volume at any time even while you are playing.
Now play the keyboard. You should hear the rich tone of the default Grand Piano
sound.
Piano Pedals
Just like a regular grand piano, your piano features 3 foot pedals:
Damper Pedal (Right)
The damper pedal performs the same function as the damper
pedal on an actual acoustic piano, letting you sustain the sound
of the notes being played after releasing your fingers from the keys.
Standby/On
Press the [STANDBY/ON] button to turn on the power and the LCD display will
illuminate.
STANDBY/ON
Auto Standby
Your piano will switch off automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity.
In this case, press the [STANDBY/ON] button to turn on the power.
Deactivate Auto Standby Function
To deactivate the Auto Power Standby Function: hold the
first white key and first black key from the left
side of the keyboard at the same time and then press
the [STANDBY/ON] button.

SOSTENUTO

Sostenuto Pedal (Center)
The sostenuto pedal also allows you to sustain notes, but it works a little
different than the damper pedal. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard
and press the sostenuto pedal while the notes are held, those notes will be
sustained as long as the pedal is held. All subsequently played notes will not be
sustained.
SOFT
Soft Pedal (Left)
The soft pedal on an acoustic piano changes the character of the sound, making
it softer and quieter. The soft pedal on your piano does exactly the same.
Press the soft pedal when you need to play passages that require extreme pianissimo.

play the demo songs.

accommodate private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system
is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the 1. Headphone jack.
MIDI Out

interface which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each
other, by sending and receiving compatible notes, program changes and other types
of MIDI data. You should only plug the MIDI out in to another device featuring a
MIDI input.
