Pedal Functions

zDamper Pedal

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

•When GRAND PIANO 1, GRAND PIANO 2, or GRAND PIANO 3 is selected as the tone, pressing this pedal will cause notes to reverberate just like the damper pedal on an acoustic grand piano.

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.

Pedal Connector

You can connect the optionally available 3-Pedal Unit (SP-30) 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-30 Pedal Unit supports half-pedal operation (pressing the pedal part way), and you can adjust the amount of the pedal effect applied when the pedal is pressed part way. See “Other Settings” on page E-24 for more information.

•The optionally available CS-66P special stand is required in order to use the SP-30 Pedal Unit.

Connecting Audio Equipment or an Amplifier

You can connect audio equipment or a music amplifier to the digital piano and then play through external speakers for more powerful volume and better sound quality.

CAUTION

•The digital piano automatically adjusts sound output to optimize for headphone output (when headphones are connected) or built-in speaker output (when headphones are not connected). This also will cause a change in the output quality from the digital piano’s LINE OUT R and L/MONO jacks.

Connecting Audio Equipment (Figure 1)

R (Right) is the right channel and L/MONO (Left) is the left channel. Use commercially available connection cords to connect as shown in Figure 1. Normally, you should set the input selector of the audio equipment to the terminal where the digital piano is connected (AUX IN, etc.) Adjust volume using the digital piano’s VOLUME controller.

Connecting a Music Amplifier (Figure 2)

R (Right) is the right channel and L/MONO (Left) is the left channel. Connecting to the L/MONO jack only outputs a mixture of both channels. Use a commercially available connection cord to connect as shown in Figure 2. Adjust volume using the digital piano’s VOLUME controller.
