Connecting Headphones

IMPORTANT!

•Before connecting headphones, be sure to use the Digital Piano’s (VOLUME) knob to turn the volume down to a low level. After connecting, you can adjust the volume to the level you want.

Mini plug

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jacks. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones.

Connecting a Pedal

The back of the Digital Piano has two pedal jacks, one for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal.

To connect to the pedal jack

Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP-3) to perform, connect the pedal’s cable either to the Digital Piano’s DAMPER PEDAL jack or SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack. If you want to use both operations (jacks) at the same time, you need to purchase another optionally available pedal.

NOTE

•You can connect a pedal to the SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack and apply either a soft or sostenuto effect to the notes you play. For details, see “Pedal Assign” (page E-39).

Pedal Functions
Damper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes you play to reverberate for a very long time.

•Whenever a piano tone is selected, pressing this pedal will activate the Digital Piano’s Acoustic Resonance effect, which causes notes to resonate in the same way they do when the damper pedal on an acoustic piano is pressed. You can adjust the acoustic resonance effect for each individual tone, and you can apply it to other non-piano tones, if you want. For details, see “Acoustic Resonance” (page E-39) and “Acoustic Resonance Send” (page E-32).

Soft Pedal

Pressing this pedal suppresses notes played on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes them sound softer.

Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes that are played while this pedal are depressed are sustained until the pedal is released.

Pedal Connector

You can connect the optionally available 3-Pedal Unit (SP-32) to the pedal connector on the bottom of the Digital Piano. You can then use the pedals for expression that is similar to that available on an acoustic piano.

NOTE

•The SP-32 Pedal Unit supports half-pedal operation (pressing the pedal part way). You can adjust the amount of the effect is applied when the damper pedal is pressed part way. For details, see “Half Pedal Effect” (page E-39).

•The optionally available CS-67P special stand is required in order to use the SP-32 Pedal Unit.
