Setting Up To enable the Auto Power Off function: While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION], press the A#-1 key. A#-1 Using Headphones Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4" stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. Setting the Volume When you start playing, use the [MASTER VOLUME] slider to adjust the volume of the entire keyboard sound. Standard stereo phone plug CAUTION • To protect your hearing, avoid listening with the head- phones at a high volume level for long periods of time. Softer Louder Setting the Operation Confirmation Sounds Because of the simple, piano-like design of this instrument, there are a minimum of panel controls, and most settings are made using the keys of the keyboard. When you turn a function on or off, or change a setting, the instrument produces a sound to confirm the change. There are three types of sounds used: an ascending sound for on, a descending sound for off, and clicks for other settings. For the list of functions assigned to the buttons and keys, see "Quick Operation Guide" on page 22. Setting the Operation Confirmation Sounds On or Off You can enable or disable the Operation Confirmation Sounds as desired. While holding down [GRAND PIANO/FUNCTION], press the C7 key. Every time you press the C7 key, the setting is switched on or off. Default setting: on Using a Footswitch The [SUSTAIN] jack is for connecting the included footswitch, which works in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Also an optional FC3A foot pedal or FC4A or FC5 footswitch can be connected to this jack. The FC3A lets you use the Half Pedal function. Half Pedal function If you are playing the piano with sustain and want a clearer, less muddled sound (especially in the bass register), let up on your foot from the pedal to half position or higher. NOTE • Do not press the footswitch when turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation. • Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the footswitch or pedal.
