Internal Setup and Connections
1. Connecting the Power (Figure 1)
• Connect the supplied AC adapter to the power cord. Insert the DC plug end into the DC12V
jack on the rear panel of the unit. Next, plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Pass the AC adapter cord through the cord hook so that the plug won’t be removed from
the jack accidentally. When you unhook the cord, don’t pull the cord with force.
Be sure to use the AC adapter that came with your unit. Using other AC adapters may cause
the unit to malfunction.
Be sure to plug the unit into an AC outlet of the appropriate voltage.
2. Turning the SP-170S ON
• Press the power switch that’s located on the left side of the top panel to turn the unit on. (Figure 2)
The power LED to the left of the music stand will light up. (Figure 2)
• Press the power switch again to turn the unit off.
The power LED will go dark.
3. Adjust the volume
• Rotate the VOLUME knob that’s located next to the power switch right toward “MAX” to
raise the volume level. Rotate it left toward “MIN” to lower the level. (Figure 2)
The VOLUME knob controls the output level of the built-in speakers and the headphones
jacks.
Using headphones
When you plug in headphones, the built-in speakers will be muted. This is useful when you
want to play the keyboard in the evening without bothering your family or your neighbors.
The SP-170S features two headphone jacks so that two people can enjoy playing and listening.
• Insert the stereo headphone plug into one of the PHONES jacks on the rear panel. (Figure 3)
If your headphones feature a standard-to-mini adapter plug, be sure to hold the adapter plug
when you connect or disconnect the headphones.
To protect your hearing, do not listen to loud, high-volume sounds for a long period of
time through headphones.
Using a Damper Pedal
You can use the supplied pedal as a damper pedal by connecting it to the DAMPER SW jack
on the rear panel of the unit. (Figure 3)
While you press the pedal, the sound will sustain, creating a rich, lingering sound.
Alternatively, you can use an optional DS-1H damper pedal. A half-pedal damper effect can
be applied to Piano 1 or 2.
Connecting audio components
You can use the PHONES jacks as line-out jacks to connect powered speakers or audio com-
ponents to the keyboard. For such connections, use commercially-available cables that are
appropriate for the components that you’re using.
Before connecting audio components, make sure that you turn off the power to the unit
and the audio components. Otherwise, damage to the unit or other components may oc-
cur.
Using the music stand
• Insert the legs of the supplied music stand into the dedicated groove that’s located in the
middle of the top panel. (Figure 4)
