Chapter 5. Changing Various Settings

Preventing the Settings from Changing During Performance

■Disabling Everything Except

Piano Play (Panel Lock)

The “Panel Lock” function locks the HP103 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 On] switch to turn off the power.

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

The following display will appear.

All buttons are disabled.

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). That way, you won't get switched to the wrong settings if you inadvertently press a few buttons while you’re playing.

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. Alternatively, you can lower the instrument’s volume all the way and switch its power off. Then, turn it on again.
