3.6 Turning the power on/off

Turn on power to your various devices in the order speciﬁed. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to speak- ers and other devices.

To turn the power on, turn the [Volume] knob all the way down, and then press the [Power] button.

The power will turn on, and the Power indicator at the left front of the KR-11 will light.

After a few seconds, you will be able to play the key- board to produce sound.

Use the [Volume] knob to adjust the volume.

The KR-11 is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.

3.8 About the pedals

The KR-11 comes with two pedals that are built into the supplied stand:

Soft pedal

Damper pedal

Soft pedal— This pedal softens the sound. Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong as when played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left-most pedal on an acoustic piano.

Note: You can change the left pedal’s function (see page 47).

Damper pedal— Use this pedal when you want the sound to linger on. While the damper pedal is depressed, the sound from the keyboard continues to linger for an extended period, even when you remove your ﬁngers from the keys.

This is the same function as the right-most pedal on an acoustic piano.

About the adjuster

When you move the KR-11 or if you feel that the ped- als are unstable, set the adjuster located below the ped- als as follows.

Rotate the adjuster to lower it so that it is in ﬁrm con- tact with the ﬂoor. If there is a gap between the pedals and the ﬂoor, the pedals may be damaged. In particu- lar when placing the instrument on a carpet, adjust this so that the pedals ﬁrmly contact the ﬂoor.
