Connections

IMPORTANT!

•Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the MAIN VOLUME knob of the digital piano and the volume controller of the external equipment to relatively low volume settings. You can later adjust volume to the level you want after connections are complete.

•Be sure also to refer to the documentation that comes with the external equipment for its proper connection procedures.

Connecting Headphones

Connect commercially available headphones to the digital piano’s PHONES jacks. This cuts off the built-in speakers, which means you can practice even late at night without disturbing others. To protect your hearing, make sure that you do not set the volume level too high when using headphones.

Connecting to a PEDAL Jack

Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP-

3)to perform, connect the pedal’s cable to the digital piano’s DAMPER PEDAL jack or SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack. If you want to use both jacks at the same time, you need to purchase another optionally available pedal.

Pedal functions•Damper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the notes you play to reverberate for a very long time. When your selected tone has the DSP 099 (Acoustic Resonance) effect applied, using this pedal causes note to reverberate just like the pedal on an acoustic grand piano.

•Soft Pedal

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

•Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal is released.

Selecting the Pedal Function

A pedal connected to the piano’s SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack can operate as either a soft pedal or a sostenuto pedal. When you turn on the digital piano, the pedal is initially configured for soft pedal operation. For information about configuring settings, see “Changing Other Settings” on page E-68.

Adjusting the Effect Applied when the Damper Pedal is Pressed Half Way (With optional SP-30 only)

You can specify to what extent the damper effect should be applied when you press the damper pedal half way. For information about configuring settings, see “Changing Other Settings” on page E-68.
