EUROGRAND
Quick Start4
Introduction1.
Congratulations! With the EUROGRAND you have purchased
a master-class digital piano which is on a par with its acoustic
counterpart in terms of sound and feel. The keyboard features 88
weighted keys with hammer action, in combination with the RSM
stereo sound generator this gives you an unparalleled playing
experience. High-quality modulation and room effects as well as a
2 x 40-Watt loudspeaker system produce a very natural and spa-
cious sound. The 2-track sequencer for recording and practicing
also includes a metronome and adds the finishing touch to the
overall concept.
Before you get started1.1
Shipment1.1.1
Your EUROGRAND was carefully packed at the factory, and the
packaging was designed to protect the unit from rough handling.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the
packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage that
may have occurred during transit.
If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to +
BEHRINGER. Instead, notify your dealer and the ship-
ping company immediately. Otherwise, claims for dam-
age or replacement may not be honored.
Always use the original packing carton to prevent dam- +
age during storage or transport.
Make sure that no children are left unsupervised with +
the EUROGRAND or its packaging.
Please ensure proper disposal of all packing materi- +
als.
Initial operation1.1.2
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling
and please do not place the EUROGRAND on high temperature
devices such as radiators etc. to avoid overheating.
Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same +
type and rating! Please refer to the "SPECIFICATIONS"
for details.
The mains connection of the EUROGRAND is made by using the
enclosed mains cable and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all
of the international safety certification requirements.
Please make sure that all units have a proper ground +
connection. For your own safety, never remove or dis-
able the ground conductor from the unit or of the AC
power cord.
The EUROGRAND is an electronic piano. Unlike an +
acoustic piano, this instrument does not need to be
tuned.
The sound quality may diminish within the range of pow- +
erful broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources.
Increase the distance between the transmitter and the
device and use shielded cables for all connections.

Quick Start2.
Power on/off2.1
The EUROGRAND is a digital, i.e. electronic, piano. Therefore,
mains power is required to operate the instrument and it has to be
switched on or off. The following section describes how to connect
the unit to the mains.
The POWER switch to the left of the keyboard must be +
in the "off" position when you connect the unit to the
mains.
FUSE HOLDER / IEC RECEPTACLE
The EUROGRAND is connected to the mains using a standard
IEC receptacle. All required safety regulations have been adhered
to. A matching power cable is included with the unit. Blown fuses
must be replaced with a fuse of the same type and rating.
Connect the power cable supplied with the unit to the con-1)
nector provided on the underside of the instrument and to
a wall socket
Press the POWER switch to the left of the keyboard to switch 2)
the instrument on or off. The LED on the front panel lights up
when the EUROGRAND is ready for operation.
After playing, switch off the unit with the POWER switch. +
The POWER LED on the front panel will go out. Please
note: Merely switching the unit off does not mean that
it is fully disconnected from the mains. If you do not
plan to use your piano for a prolonged period of time,
please disconnect it from the mains by unplugging the
power cable from the wall outlet.
Adjusting the volume2.2
The volume of the built-in loudspeakers and headphones can be
adjusted as follows:
Set the MAIN VOLUME control to mid-travel position, be-1)
tween MIN and MAX.
Adjust the volume as desired by moving the control to the 2)
right (up) or left (down).
Caution
The EUROGRAND is capable of producing extreme vol- +
umes. Please bear in mind that high sound pressures
not only temporarily affect your sense of hearing, but
can also cause permanent damage. Be careful to select
a suitable volume at all times, particularly when you are
playing with headphones.
