Connections
Before connecting headphones, be sure to use the
Digital Piano’s 2 VOLUME controller to turn the
volume down to a low level. After connecting, you
can adjust the volume to the level you want.
While sound output from the speakers is disabled,*
the Digital Piano automatically optimizes sound for
headphones and LINE OUT listening. During
speaker output, it automatically switches to
optimization for listening with speakers.
* Plug inserted into the PHONES jack or “Speaker”
SYSTEM SETTING Screen (page EN-74) turned
off.
Front
Connect commercially available headphones to the
PHONES jacks. Connecting headphones to either of
the PHONES jacks cuts off output to the speakers,
which means you can practice even late at night
without bothering others. To protect your hearing,
make sure that you do not set the volume level too high
when using headphones.
Be sure to push the headphones plug into the
PHONES jacks as far as it will go. If you don’t, you
may hear sound from only one side of the
headphones.
If the plug of the headphones you are using does not
match the PHONES jacks, use the applicable
commercially available adaptor plug.
If you are using headphones that require an adaptor
plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor
plugged in when you unplug the headphones. If you
do, nothing will sound from the speakers when you
play.
The back of the Digital Piano has two pedal jacks, one
for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal.
Depending on the type of operation you want the
pedal to perform, connect the pedal’s cable either to the
Digital Piano’s DAMPER PEDAL jack or
ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack.

Pedal Functions
z Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the
notes you play to reverberate.
Whenever a piano tone is selected, pressing this
pedal will activate the Digital Piano’s Damper
Resonance effect, which causes notes to resonate in
the same way they do when the damper pedal on an
acoustic piano is pressed.
z
Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal suppresses notes played on the
keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes them
sound softer.
z Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this
pedal is pressed are sustained, even if the keyboard
keys are released, until the pedal is released.
