2. Press one of the TONE buttons to select the tone you want.
3. Use the VOLUME knob to adjust the volume.
•It is a good idea to set the volume to a relatively low level at first.
•Moving the knob towards MIN decreases volume, while moving it towards MAX increases volume.
4.Play something on the keyboard.
•Adjust volume to the level you want as you play.
5.After you are finished playing, press the POWER button to turn off power.
❚NOTE

More about tones
Polyphony
This digital piano can play up to 64 notes at the same time. Also note that the tones below offer only
GRAND PIANO 1, BRIGHT PIANO, MELLOW PIANO, ELEC PIANO 2, HARPSICHORD
Touch Response
The touch response feature of this digital piano causes the volume of the tones and the sound of the tones themselves to change slightly in accordance with how much pressure you apply to the keyboard, just like with an acoustic piano.
Touch response affects the HARPSICHORD tone only slightly, because the original musical instrument normally produces the same sound, no matter how much pressure is applied.
Digitally Sampled Tones
The tones of this digital piano are produced using digitally recorded samples of actual musical instruments. Not all of the instruments, however, can produce tones across the entire range played by this digital piano (A0 through C8). In such a case, digital recordings are used for the range that actually can be produced by the original instrument, and synthesized tones are used for notes that cannot be produced naturally. Because of this, you may notice very slight differences between natural notes and synthesized notes in sound quality and in results produced when using effects. These differences are normal and do not indicate malfunction.
