Before You Play
Connecting Pedals
1. Connect the pedal to the Damper jack or Soft
jack.
fig.00-03
Soft Pedal
This pedal is used to make the sound softer.
Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that
is not as strong as when otherwise played with the
equivalent strength.
This is the same function as the left pedal of an acoustic
piano.
Some tones are affected less than others.
Damper Pedal
Use this pedal to sustain the sound.
While the pedal is depressed, long lingering reverberations
continue to be added to the sound after you release from the
keys.
This is the same function as the right pedal of an acoustic
piano.
By obtaining a second pedal, you can then use two pedals
simultaneously. If you wish to purchase an optional pedal
(DP series), please contact the dealer where you purchased
the F-50.
NOTE
Unplugging a pedal cord from the unit while the power is on
may cause the pedal’s effect to be applied without stopping.
The power of the F-50 must be turned off before inserting or
removing a pedal cord.
Turning On the Power
NOTE
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.
1. Turn the [Volume] knob completely to the left to
lower the volume to the minimum level.
fig.00-04
2. Press the [Power] switch to turn on the F-50.
After a few seconds, the unit becomes operable and
playing the keyboard produces sound.
Adjust the volume to obtain the proper volume level
(p. 12).

This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief
interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the
