NOTE

When opening and closing the lid, be careful not to let your

fingers get caught. If small children will be using the MP-70,

adult supervision should be provided.

NOTE

If you need to move the piano, make sure the lid is closed first

to prevent accidents.

Connecting Headphones

The MP-70 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.

When headphones are connected, the [ (Headphones)]

indicator (p. 7) lights up, and sounds stop playing from

the speakers of the MP-70. The headphone volume is

adjusted by the [VOLUME] knob (p. 9) of the MP-70.

NOTE

Use Stereo headphones.

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 MP-70 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.
