Preventing the Settings
from Changing During
Performance
Disabling Everything Except Piano
Play (Panel Lock)
The “Panel Lock” function locks the ep 880 in a state
where only piano performance can be used, and all

[Power] switch to turn on the power.

will be heard.
To defeat the Panel Lock function, turn the volume
down to the minimum, and turn on the power once
again.

the instrument so all of its buttons are disabled (the
settings in effect at that time will be maintained).

[KEY TOUCH] button.

like this. To cancel the Tone Lock function, once again
hold down the [DEMO] button while you press the
[KEY TOUCH] button.
This effect works only with the piano tones.
