NOTE

Adult supervision is recommended whenever small children use the unit.

NOTE

If you need to move the piano, make sure the lid is closed first to prevent accidents. In addition, do not hold onto the lid when moving or setting up the instrument.

NOTE

When opening and closing the lid, take care not to allow your fingers to become pinched in the gap.

Connecting Headphones

The DP-970 has two jacks for plugging in headphones. This allows two people to listen through headphones simultaneously, making it very useful for lessons and when performing piano pieces for four hands. Additionally, this allows you to play without having to worry about bothering others around you, even at night.

If using only one pair of headphones, you can connect them to either of the two headphone jacks.

Plug the headphones into the Headphones jack

located at the bottom left of the piano.

When headphones are connected, the [ (Headphones)] indicator (p. 10) lights up, and sounds stop playing from the speakers of the DP-970.

The headphones volume is adjusted by the [Volume] knob (p. 14) of the DP-970.

Some notes on using headphones

To prevent damage to the cord, handle the headphones only by the headset or the plug.

Connecting the headphones when the volume of connected equipment is turned up may result in damage to the headphones. Lower the volume on the DP-970 before plugging in the headphones.

Listening at excessively high volume levels will not only damage the headphones, but may also cause hearing loss. Use the headphones at a moderate volume level.
