Sustain/Assignable Jack
— lets you
connect a sustain pedal (not supplied,
available at your local RadioShack
store or at

your keyboard’s sound, or start/stop
an auto-rhythm (see “Using a Sustain
Pedal” on Page 15).

keyboard to another
MIDI-equipped
device. To connect a
MIDI device to your
keyboard, see

lets you connect headphones
so you can play without
disturbing others, or an external
amplifier so you can play for a

Layer Function
— lets you set the keyboard to play two
different tones at the same time, giving your music a
“layered” effect (see “Using LAYER” on Page 8).

keyboard so you can play in tune with other
instruments (see “Tuning the Keyboard” on Page 14).
