Kawai LH-1 manual

Power Switch

The Power On Button is located on the left (bass) end of the front panel. Press this button one time to turn power ON. Press it again to turn power OFF.

If you haven’t already done so, press the power button to turn on power.

Volume Control

Adjust the VOLUME SLIDER to a minimum low level when you first turn on the instrument especially when using headphones. Then, adjust volume upward to a comfortable listening level.

Master Volume Control

Note that overall volume can be adjusted using the MASTER VOLUME knob located underneath the keyboard on the right side of the instrument. MASTER VOLUME is the primary volume control. All other volume controls (Volume Slider and Expression Pedal) will only adjust volume within the overall limit set by the MASTER VOLUME knob.

Organ Expression Pedal

Located to the right of the three piano pedals at the base of the LH-1 is the ORGAN EXPRESSION PEDAL. This pedal allows the player to control the volume level of organ sounds only with the right foot while playing notes on the keyboard. The ORGAN EXPRESSION PEDAL is not active when Piano Sounds are selected.

Playing the Instrument

When the LH-1 is first powered on, the Display Screen at the center of the operating panel will move through two introductory screens. After these screens disappear, the Sound Selection Screen will indicate that the ORGAN 1 Sound (Soft Strings) is active. The red light on the ORGAN 1 Button should also be lit to indicate that the ORGAN 1 Sound is selected. ORGAN 1 is always the default sound at power up.
