Before You Start Playing

Installing the music stand

Assemble the music stand as shown in the diagram.

When moving the ep 880, be sure to remove the music stand as a safety precaution.

Connect the supplied adapter

Connect the small end of the adapter cable to the ep 880’s DC IN jack, and the other end to a suitable wall outlet.

Be sure to use the supplied adapter.

Connecting Headphones

The ep 880 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.

Plug the headphones into the Phones jack located at the front left of the piano.

When headphones are connected, the [ (Headphones)] indicator (p. 8) lights up, and sounds stop playing from the speakers of the ep 880. The headphone volume is adjusted by the [VOLUME] knob (p. 11).

NOTE Use stereo headphones.

NOTE To prevent malfunction and/or damage to the speak- ers or other devices, always turn down the volume and switch off all devices before making any connec- tions.

Some notes on using headphones

If both headphone sockets are used simultaneously, some distortion may be audible with certain headphone types. In that case, slightly reduce the VOLUME setting until the distortion disappears.

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 ep 880 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.
