Before You Start Playing
Connecting Headphones
The HP101 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
bottom left of the piano.
Connecting headphones will automatically mute the sound from the internal speakers.
The headphone volume is adjusted by the [Volume] knob (p. 9) of the HP101.

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 HP101 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.
■Using the Headphone Hook
Whenever you are not using the headphones, you can hang them on the headphone hook at the lower left of the HP101.
