1. BASIC OPERATIONS

SETTING UP THE PIANO

The first thing you’ll need to do before playing the piano is to set up the instrument.

ASSEMBLING THE STAND

First, you need to assemble the stand unit. Assemble the stand following the instructions at the beginning of this manual.

SUPPLYING AC POWER

The CA piano is equipped with stereo speakers and an amplifier. You do not need any other equipment to play your piano. You can enjoy the CA piano wherever AC power is available. Simply connect the power cable that comes with the CA piano to an AC outlet.

Connect the AC power cable to the piano’s power jack and the other end of the cable to the AC outlet on the wall.

USING THE HEADPHONES

For private performances you may want to use the headphones. The speakers will be turned off automatically when the headphones are plugged in, and the CA piano will only be heard through the headphones. The CA piano has two headphones jacks.

PLAYING THE PIANO

Turning on the power.

You will find the POWER SWITCH at the right end of the front panel. Press this button to turn on the power. Pressing it again will turn off the power.

Adjust the volume level.

The VOLUME SLIDER controls the volume level of the speakers and the headphones. Use this slider to set the volume to a comfortable listening level.

Now try playing the keyboard.

You will hear the CA’s main piano sound. The name of the sound “Concert

Grand” is shown in the LCD Display.
