Basic Operations
Using the Pedals
The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks, one for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal. Whether the pedal connected to the SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack operates as a soft pedal or sostenuto pedal depends on what you do when you turn on the digital piano power.
Pedal functions
•Damper pedal
Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer.
•Soft pedal
Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is pressed sound at their normal volume.
•Sostenuto pedal
Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is pressed are affected.
To use the SOFT/SOSTENUTO pedal as a soft pedal
Press the POWER button to turn on the digital piano power. Soft pedal is the normal effect of the pedal connected to the SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack.
To use the SOFT/SOSTENUTO pedal as a sostenuto pedal
While holding down the pedal connected to the SOFT/ SOSTENUTO jack, turn on the digital piano power.
NOTE
•The following shows how pedal effects are applied during different types of operations.

Using the Metronome
The metronome provides a reference beat that you can use during your performances or practice sessions. You can change the beat and the tempo of the metronome.
•The names of the settings are marked above the keyboard keys to which they are assigned.
