Connections

Connecting Headphones

IMPORTANT!

•Before connecting headphones, be sure to use the digital piano’s VOLUME controller to turn the volume down to a low level. After connecting, you can adjust the volume to the level you want.

•The digital piano automatically adjusts sound output to optimize for headphones (when headphones are connected) or the built-in speakers (when headphones are not connected).

Commercially available headphones

Mini plug

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jack. Connecting headphones to the PHONES jack cuts off output to the speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without bothering others. 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 (jack) at the same time, you need to purchase another optionally available pedal.

NOTE

•You can specify the type of operation that should be performed by the pedal connected to the SOFT/ SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack. See “Other Settings” on page E-32 for more information.

Pedal Functions

zDamper 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 as when the damper pedal on an acoustic piano is pressed.

zSoft Pedal

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

zSostenuto Pedal

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