Using the Pedals
The digital piano is equipped with two pedal jacks, one for a
damper pedal and one for a soft/sostenuto pedal. Whether
the pedal connected to the SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack operates
as a soft pedal or sostenuto pedal depends on what you do
when you turn on the digital piano power.
Pedal functions
• Damper pedal
Pressing this pedal causes notes to reverberate and to
sustain longer.
• Soft pedal
Pressing this pedal dampens notes and slightly reduces
their volume. Only notes played after the pedal is depressed
are affected, and any notes played before the pedal is
pressed sound at their normal volume.
• Sostenuto pedal
Like the damper pedal, this pedal causes notes to
reverberate and to sustain longer. The difference between
the two pedals is the timing when they are pressed. With
the sostenuto pedal, you press the pedal after depressing
the notes you want to sustain. Only the notes whose
keyboard keys are depressed when the sostenuto pedal is
pressed are affected.
To use the SOFT/SOSTENUTO pedal as a soft
pedal
Press the POWER button to turn on the digital piano power.
Soft pedal is the normal effect of the pedal connected to the
SOFT/SOSTENUTO jack.
To use the SOFT/SOSTENUTO pedal as a
sostenuto pedal
While holding down the pedal connected to the SOFT/
SOSTENUTO jack, turn on the digital piano power.

• You can specify different sound quality types for the built-in
speakers and headphones.
• The speaker and headphone sound quality settings you make
are retained when you turn off the digital piano power.
• When outputting sound to external speakers from the LINE OUT
jacks, connect headphones to the digital piano so the
headphones sound quality setting is output to the external
speakers. A Type 1 or Type 2 headphones sound quality works
best in this case.
