Connections
IMPORTANT!
Whenever connecting external equipment, first set the
MAIN VOLUME knob of the digital piano and the volume
controller of the external equipment to relatively low
volume settings. You can later adjust volume to the level
you want after connections are complete.
Be sure also to refer to the documentation that comes
with the external equipment for its proper connection
procedures.
Connecting Headphones
Connect commercially available headphones to the digital
pianos PHONES jacks. This cuts off the built-in speakers,
which means you can practice even late at night without
disturbing others. To protect your hearing, make sure that
you do not set the volume level too high when using
headphones.

Connecting to a PEDAL Jack
Depending on the type of operation you want the pedal (SP-
3) to perform, connect the pedals cable to the digital pianos
DAMPER PEDAL jack or SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL jack.
If you want to use both jacks at the same time, you need to
purchase another optionally available pedal.

Pedal functions
Damper Pedal
Pressing the damper pedal while playing will cause the
notes you play to reverberate for a very long time. When
your selected tone has the DSP 099 (Acoustic Resonance)
effect applied, using this pedal causes note to reverberate
just like the pedal on an acoustic grand piano.
Soft Pedal
Pressing this pedal while playing weakens notes played
on the keyboard after the pedal was pressed, and makes
them sound softer.
Sostenuto Pedal
Only the notes of the keys that are depressed when this
pedal is pressed are sustained until the pedal is released.
Selecting the Pedal Function
A pedal connected to the pianos SOFT/SOSTENUTO PEDAL
jack can operate as either a soft pedal or a sostenuto pedal.
When you turn on the digital piano, the pedal is initially
configured for soft pedal operation. For information about
configuring settings, see Changing Other Settings on page
E-68.
Adjusting the Effect Applied when
the Damper Pedal is Pressed Half
Way (With optional SP-30 only)
You can specify to what extent the damper effect should be
applied when you press the damper pedal half way. For
information about configuring settings, see Changing Other
Settings on page E-68.
