3. Main operations

Note: To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

3.1 Connecting the power cord

Connect the supplied power cord to a wall outlet.

Note: Strong tension applied to the cord may damage or break it. Be careful not to pull the cord accidentally, or to apply strong pressure to it.

3.2 About the pedals

The HP-1 comes with two pedals that are built into the supplied stand:

Soft pedal Damper pedal

Soft pedal– This pedal softens the sound. Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong as when played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left-most pedal on an acoustic piano.

Note: You can change the left pedal’s function. See (p. 16).

Damper pedal– Use this pedal when you want the sound to linger on. While the damper pedal is depressed, the sound from the keyboard continues to linger for an extended period, even when you remove your fingers from the keys.

This is the same function as the right-most pedal on an acoustic piano.

About the adjuster

When you move the HP-1 or if you feel that the pedals are unstable, adjust the adjuster located below the pedals as follows.

Rotate the adjuster to lower it so that it is in firm con- tact with the floor. If there is a gap between the pedals and the floor, the pedals may be damaged. In particu- lar when placing the instrument on carpet, adjust this so that the pedals firmly contact the floor.
