OFF	This is the standard tuning curve. This is the right
	choice when using Dual play (p. 17), or when
	playing in ensemble with other instruments.
On	This tuning curve expands the bass and treble ends
	somewhat. It is suitable for performances such as
	piano solos. This setting is in effect when you turn
	on the power.

Preventing the Settings from Changing During Performance

Disabling Everything Except Piano Play (Panel Lock)

The “Panel Lock” function locks the ep 880 in a state where only piano performance can be used, and all buttons will be disabled. This prevents the settings from being inadvertently modified even if children press the buttons accidentally.

In the Panel Lock state, only the grand piano sound can be

played.

1.Turn the volume to the minimum, and press the [Power] switch to turn off the power.

2.Hold down the [PIANO] button and press the [Power] switch to turn on the power.

The following display will appear.

All buttons are disabled.

3.Adjust the volume.

When you play the keyboard, the grand piano sound will be heard.

To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume down to the minimum, and turn on the power once again.

Disabling the Buttons When Using a Tone Other Than Piano (Tone Lock)

Even when using Tones other than the Piano, you can set the instrument so all of its buttons are disabled (the settings in effect at that time will be maintained).

1.Hold down the [DEMO] button and press the [KEY TOUCH] button.

The song or the metronome sound that is playing will stop. The following will appear in the display:

All buttons are disabled while the instrument is set like this. To cancel the Tone Lock function, once again hold down the [DEMO] button while you press the [KEY TOUCH] button.
