Connecting the Power Cable

Connect the Disklavier’s power cable to an AC wall outlet.

Important: Make sure that the voltage of the AC wall outlet matches that marked on the Disklavier’s Serial No. plate.

Using the Remote Control

The Disklavier is equipped with a remote control which allows convenient control from almost anywhere in the room. This chapter provides notes on handling the remote control.

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Before the remote control can be used, the two batteries supplied with the Disklavier must be installed.

Remove the battery cover from the rear of the remote control, install the batteries, and then replace the cover.

A diagram inside the battery compartment shows which way the batteries should be installed. Make sure you insert them correctly.

Battery Replacement

When the remote control fails to work from a distance, replace the batteries.

Replacement batteries should be UM-3, AA, R6P, or LR6 type.

Always replace both batteries.

If the remote control is not to be used for a prolonged period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible damage by battery leakage.

Important: Be sure to read the section on Handling Batteries on page ii of “Important” for details on the safe handling of dry batteries.

Using the Remote Control

To use the remote control, point it at the remote control sensor on the Control Unit.
