a POWER button

more information, please refer to the ‘Auto Power Off ’ setting on page

b VOLUME knob
Used to adjust the volume when AnyTime mode is activated.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the volume.
c PHONES jacks
Used to connect up to two pairs of headphones
simultaneously.
d Headphone hook
Used to conveniently hang the headphones when not in use.
e LINE OUT jack
Used to connect the AnyTime mode audio signal to an external
amplifi er, speakers, or recording device such as a computer.
f MIDI IN/OUT jacks
Used to connect the AnyTimeX2 piano to external MIDI devices
such as other electronic instruments or computers. (See page

g DC IN jack
Used to connect the AC adaptor.
h Mute Pedal
Used to mute the acoustic piano sound by depressing the
pedal and sliding it gently to the left, thus activating AnyTime
mode.
Do not attempt to activate/deactivate AnyTime mode while
playing the piano as this can cause serious damage to the
action mechanism of the instrument.
i Damper Pedal
Used to remove all dampers from the strings, allowing them
to vibrate freely. This greatly enriches the piano’s sound, while
also assisting the pianist to play smooth ‘legato’ passages.
j Soft Pedal / Sostenuto Pedal
Used to soften the sound, reducing its volume. When the ‘Jazz
Organ’ sound is selected, the soft pedal is used to alternate
the speed of the rotary speaker simulation between ‘Slow’ and
‘Fast’ eff ect modes.
It is also possible to use the Soft pedal as a Sostenuto pedal by
depressing the pedal while turning on the AnyTimeX2 piano
control box. In sostenuto mode, depressing the pedal after
playing the keyboard and before releasing the keys sustains
the sound of only the keys just played. Any keys that are
pressed after the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be
sustained after the keys are released.
Furthermore, the Soft pedal is used to select diff erent sounds,
change reverb settings, and adjust various other settings of
the AnyTimeX2 piano.
k Muffl er lever
Used to activate/deactivate the muffl er system of the acoustic
piano.
Pull the lever to activate and push it back to deactivate.
