Setting Up Using Headphones You can connect two pairs of headphones to the [PHONES] jacks. If you are using only one pair, insert the plug into either of these jacks. Adaptor plug (3.5 mm  6.3 mm) Stereo mini plug (3.5 mm) CAUTION Do not use headphones at a high volume for an extended period of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss. Reproducing the Natural Sensation of Sound Distance -Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural sound, even when listening on headphones. Binaural Sampling ("CFX Grand" Voice only) Binaural sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear position of a performer and records the sound from a piano as it is. Listening to the sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. When "CFX Grand" (page 110) is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables binaural sampling sound. Sampling A technology which records the sounds of an acoustic instrument then stores them to the tone generator to be played based on information received from the keyboard. Stereophonic Optimizer (Voices in the Piano group other than "CFX Grand") The Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces natural sound distance like the sound of binaural sampling even though you hear it on headphones. When any other Voice in the Piano group besides "CFX Grand" is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the Stereophonic Optimizer. NOTE Voices in the Piano group are those contained in the "Piano" category in the Preset Voice List (page 110). For details about selecting Voices, refer to page 20. This function is turned on by default. Note that when the "Speaker" setting (page 106) is "On," this function will always be disabled. Since these sounds are optimized for listening with headphones, we recommend that you set this function to "Off" in the following situations. • Playing the piano sound of this instrument with an external powered speaker system, while monitoring the sound output from this instrument on connected headphones. • Making an audio recording (page 61) while using headphones, and then playing that recorded audio Song through speakers of this instrument. (Make sure to turn off these functions before audio recording.) For details on setting this On or Off, refer to "Binaural" on page 105. NOTE Before connecting an external powered speaker system, be sure to read "Connecting to Other Devices" (page 74). 14 P-525 Owner's Manual

Reproducing the Natural Sensation of Sound Distance
—Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer
This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy
exceptionally realistic, natural sound, even when listening on headphones.
Binaural Sampling (“CFX Grand” Voice only)
Binaural sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear
position of a performer and records the sound from a piano as it is. Listening to
the sound with this effect through headphones gives the impression of being
immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. When
“CFX Grand” (page 110) is selected, connecting the headphones automatically
enables binaural sampling sound.
Stereophonic Optimizer (Voices in the Piano group other than
“CFX Grand”)
The Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces natural sound
distance like the sound of binaural sampling even though you hear it on
headphones. When any other Voice in the Piano group besides “CFX Grand” is
selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the Stereophonic
Optimizer.
