1. PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS
This section explains the locations and functions of the panel buttons and sliders.
‘ FRONT PANEL
‘ PEDALS
The CN piano has three pedals—just like a grand piano. They are Sustain, Sostenuto and Soft.
¡ Sustain pedal
Sustains the sound after hands are lifted from the keyboard. The sustain pedal is capable of
responding to half pedaling.
¡ Sostenuto pedal
Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before releasing the keys sustains the
sound of only the keys just played. Any keys that are pressed after the Sostenuto pedal is
depressed will not be sustained after the keys are released.
¡ Soft pedal
Depressing this pedal softens the sound and reduces its volume. When the rotary effect is
active the soft pedal is used to change the speed of the rotor between slow and fast.
z CONCERT MAGIC
Press the CONCERT MAGIC button to
enjoy listening to or performing a collection
of pre-programmed piano songs. Concert
Magic will provide the correct melody and
accompaniment notes, regardless of which
keys are pressed. Anybody, young or old,
can enjoy Concert Magic from the moment
they sit down at the CN piano (page 21).
z LESSON
Press the LESSON button to access
the etudes or Alfred lesson books
(USA, Canada, UK, AU only), for an
enjoyable piano lesson experience
(page 28).
z LED DISPLAY
The LED display provides useful
information such as the currently
selected sound type. It also shows
values or status when other
functions are active.
z VALUE
These two buttons
are used to change
the value for various
functions.
z MASTER VOLUME
This slider controls the piano’s master volume level.
Move this slider to the right to increase the volume and move it to the
left to decrease the volume.
This slider also controls the headphone volume and the LINE output
level of the piano’s sound.

Press the SOUND SELECT button below the name of the instrument
to be played. When the button is pressed, an LED indicator will turn on,
indicating that the sound has been selected (page 12).
