z Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause
the notes you play to reverberate for a very long
time.
When a GRAND PIANO tone (MODERN,
CLASSIC, VARIATION) is selected as the tone,
pressing this pedal will cause notes to reverberate
(acoustic resonance) just like the damper pedal on
an acoustic grand piano. Half-pedal operation
(pressing the pedal part way) is also supported.
z Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal while playing 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 until the pedal is
released.

PREPARATION
Before starting assembly, check to make sure that you
have all the parts shown below. You can find the screws
in a plastic bag inside of the polystyrene foam packing
material.
This stand does not include any of the tools required for
assembly. It is up to you to prepare a large Philips head
(+) screwdriver for assembly.
B
C
CAUTION
The stand should be assembled by two people working
together.
The stand should be assembled on a flat surface.
Do not remove the tape securing the keyboard cover in
place until assembly is complete. Removing the tape can
cause the keyboard cover to open and close during
assembly, creating the risk of personal injury to your
hands and fingers.
Take care that you do not pinch your fingers between
parts when assembling them.
When placing the digital piano on the floor, be sure to
place it on something soft (a blanket, cushion, etc.). Do
not place the digital piano directly onto the floor.

PREPARATION
Before starting assembly of the stand, divide the
polystyrene foam packing material K into the sections as
shown in the illustration below. After dividing up the
material, you should end up with a total of six pieces
named K-(a), K-(b), and K-(c), which you will use while
assembling the stand.
If you do not have any packing material available for
some reason, use a magazine or some other thick item.

IMPORTANT!
When inserting the corner of the side panel into the
bracket on the side of the digital piano in step (2-3)
below, take care to avoid damaging the side panel corner
(). Never try to insert the side panel into the bracket
without first tilting the side panel at an angle as instructed
in step (2-2). Doing so creates the risk of damage of the
side panel corner.
(2-1) On side panel A, locate the corner that has a metal
piece attached to it, and then insert that corner
into foam piece K-(b).
(2-2) Tilt side panel A slightly as indicated by the
arrow in the illustration.
(2-3) Keeping side panel A tilted at an angle, carefully
insert the opposite corner () into the bracket on
the side of the digital piano.

WARNING
The corner brackets help to prevent the stand from
tipping over. Whenever the stand is in a location that is
not up against a wall, reorient the corner brackets as
shown in the illustration. Leaving the corner brackets in
their original orientations can make it easy for the stand
to tip over towards the back, creating the risk of personal
injury.

When I play

) E-22
This is an unavoidable result of the digital sampling process,* and does not indicate malfunction.
* Multiple digital samples are taken for the low range, middle range, and high range of the original
musical instrument. Because of this, there may be a very slight difference in tonal quality and
volume between sample ranges.
When I press a
button, the note that
is sounding cuts out
momentarily or there
is a slight change in
how effects are
applied.
This happens when the sounds of multiple parts are sounding at the same time while using layer,
using the Duet Mode, playing back a built-in tune, recording, etc. Pressing a button when one of these
conditions exists will cause the effect setting that is built into the tone to change automatically, which
causes the notes to cut out momentarily or causes a slight change in how effects are being applied.
