Turning the Power On and
Off
Once the connections have been completed, turn on power
to your various devices in the order specified. By turning
on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other
devices.
To turn the power on, turn the [VOLUME] knob all
the way down, and then press the [Power] switch.
The power will turn on. After a few seconds, you will
be able to play the keyboard to produce sound.
Use the [VOLUME] knob to adjust the volume.
To turn the power off, turn the [VOLUME] knob all
the way to the left, and press the [Power] switch.
The Power indicator at the left front of the ep 880 will
go dark, and the power will be turned off.
If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn
off the Power switch, then unplug the power cord
from the power outlet. Refer to “Power Supply” (p. 6).

Connecting footswitches
The ep 880 provides two pedal sockets: HOLD and SOFT/
HOLD 2. Here is how you can use these sockets:
Hold function
By connecting the supplied damper pedal to the HOLD
socket, you can hold (sustain) the notes you are playing on
the ep 880’s keyboard.
1. Set the ep 880’s volume to the lowest value.
2. Connect the supplied DP-8 damper pedal to the
HOLD socket.
3. Play a few notes on the keyboard while pressing the
supplied DP-8 damper pedal.
The notes you play will be sustained much longer
than without using the pedal.
4. Release the damper pedal to switch off the sustained
notes.
Using a second footswitch
The SOFT/HOLD 2 socket allows you to connect an
optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch. When not
in TWIN PIANO mode, this footswitch functions as soft
pedal to reduce the volume and brightness of the notes
you play.
In TWIN PIANO mode (p. 16), however, it acts as damper
pedal for the left section.
This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A
brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is
required before the unit will operate normally.
