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).

PHONES jacks

Commercially available headphones

Standard plug

Connect commercially available headphones to the PHONES jacks. Connecting headphones to either of the PHONES jacks 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.

NOTE

•Be sure to push the headphones plug into the PHONES jacks as far as it will go. If you don’t, you may hear sound from only one side of the headphones.

•If the plug of the headphones you are using does not match the PHONES jacks, use the applicable commercially available adaptor plug.

•If you are using headphones that require an adaptor plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged in when you unplug the headphones. If you do, nothing will sound from the speakers when you play.

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 “Soft/ Sostenuto Pedal Jack Setting” (page E-46).

Pedal Functions
zDamper Pedal

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

•Whenever a piano tone is selected, pressing this pedal will activate the Digital Piano’s Damper Resonance effect, which causes notes to resonate in the same way they do 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.
