Connections

IMPORTANT!

• Before connecting headphones, be sure to use the digital

piano’s VOLUME controller to turn the volume down to a
low level. After connecting, you can adjust the volume to
the level you want.

• The digital piano automatically adjusts sound output to

optimize for headphones (when headphones are
connected) or the built-in speakers (when headphones
are not connected).

Left Side

Connect commercially available headphones to the
PHONES

jack. Connecting headphones to the

PHONES

jack cuts off output to the speakers, which

means you can practice even late at night without
bothering others. To protect your hearing, make sure
that you do not set the volume level too high when
using headphones.

The back of the digital piano has two pedal jacks, one
for a damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal.

To connect to the pedal jack

Depending on the type of operation you want the
pedal (SP-3) to perform, connect the pedal’s cable
either to the digital piano’s DAMPER PEDAL jack or
SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL

jack. If you want to use

both operations (jack) at the same time, you need to
purchase another optionally available pedal.

Back

NOTE

• You can specify the type of operation that should be

performed by the pedal connected to the SOFT/
SOSTENUTO PEDAL

jack. See “Other Settings” on

page E-32 for more information.

Pedal Functions

z Damper Pedal

Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause
the notes you play to reverberate for a very long
time.
• Whenever a piano tone is selected, pressing this

pedal will activate the digital piano’s Acoustic
Resonance effect, which causes notes to resonate in
the same way as when the damper pedal on an
acoustic piano is pressed.

z Soft Pedal

Pressing this pedal suppresses notes played on the
keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes
them sound softer.

z Sostenuto Pedal

Only the notes that are played while this pedal are
depressed are sustained until the pedal is released.
