Press [STANDBY / ON] on the

 

Control Unit.

 

 

2

Set the MAINS switch to OFF.

 

Setting the MAINS switch to OFF is

 

effectively the same as disconnecting the

 

power cable from an AC wall outlet. If the

 

Disklavier is used regularly, you only need

 

to use the [STANDBY / ON] button on the

 

Control Unit. If the Disklavier is not going

 

to be used for a long period, set the MAINS

 

switch to OFF.

When the Disklavier is turned off, wait at least 5 seconds before turning it on again.

Note: The MAINS switch only needs to be switched off when you are not going to use the Disklavier for a long period of time. For daily use, only the [STANDBY / ON] button on the Control Unit needs to be turned on and off.

Your Disklavier is now ready for use.
